Description
An (Associate) Investment Officer is needed for the Africa Infrastructure team’s office in Cairo, Egypt. The chosen individual will answer to the Infrastructure North Africa and Horn of Africa New Business Manager.
obligations and responsibilities
- Business development involves gathering market intelligence, locating and evaluating opportunities, anticipating market trends, and identifying bankable projects by using sector/country knowledge. Information is then synthesized into internal reports for decision-making. The Investment Officer will also assist and collaborate closely with different Client Relationship Managers for assigned clients in developing client strategies, engagement plans, relationships, and pitchbooks. As necessary, the Investment Officer will engage clients to better understand their business objectives and any obstacles that might present new opportunities.
- Identifying, arranging, negotiating, and concluding new debt and equity transactions, portfolio reorganizations, capital increases, equity sales, etc. Performing credit and risk assessments (covering financial, technical, environmental and social, legal, insurance as well as integrity aspects), financial projections, due diligence of project and/or company documentation, negotiating, structuring and documenting finance documents, as well as preparing internal documents necessary for internal approvals while coordinating, are all part of this.
- Leading easy investment deals while applying knowledge gained from prior IFC investments, portfolio management assignments, or consulting mandates. Conduct covenant compliance checks (debt monitor and evaluate equity investments and recommend/execute the sale of holdings), handle disbursements, waivers, and complex client contacts including restructurings, and general oversight of assets held in IFC’s portfolio as assigned. Review and assess the operating and financial performance of the clients; create project profiles, quarterly risk ratings, annual supervision, and other management reports. To identify and reach crucial path milestones and to complete activities (including the production of documentation) in a timely and high-quality manner for the processing or supervision of projects, apply your understanding of the project/portfolio lifecycle. Deliver all role-related responsibilities effectively, quickly, and in accordance with best practice standards. Follow up on the given portfolio projects and, if necessary, report development outcomes both internally and externally. To add value to our clients’ businesses, find workable solutions to project and sector challenges, and make a positive impact on sustainable development, we collaborate closely with colleagues in the fields of credit risk, legal, technical, insurance, social and environmental, corporate governance, and other disciplines when structuring transactions.
- Contribute to the creation of business development plans for certain industries, nations, or regions. Create and implement strategies for trickier client interactions with the aim of creating a strong investment pipeline. Create the IFC’s knowledge base for best practices and take part in the sharing and dissemination of knowledge. To strengthen internal and/or external client solutions, start collaborations and share your skills as a subject matter expert by offering guidance, peer review, and contributions to knowledge products across WBG. As needed, take the lead in organizing the logistics and planning for team and regional training retreats. Promote the IFC name and, where necessary, act as IFC’s representative at workshops and conferences.
- Coordination with WBG: Assist MIGA and World Bank colleagues with sector transformation and removing obstacles to luring private sector investment.
- Mentoring and coaching: To help develop talent and expand the staff’s skill set, mentor and coach younger team members.
