 Description

IFC — a member of the World Bank Group — is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet. For more information, please visit www.ifc.org.

IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Green Finance and in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS). This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working “Upstream” or at the pre-investment stage to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design, mature and implement investment projects. It requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the regulatory and sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries and addressing these bottlenecks through World Bank Group engagement on policy reforms and programmatic interventions at the country and sector level. It also requires capacity to work with clients to jointly imagine, design and develop projects even in the absence of reforms.

IFC is seeking an Operations Analyst to support our upstream/pre-investment work in the infrastructure sector (including energy, transport, water and sanitation, telecom & digital and subnational finance) in the Emerging Europe region. The candidate will be based in Vienna, supporting the development and implementation of a pipeline of projects across several countries in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus.

• Support the Infrastructure team with the development of bi-annual donor reports and support drafting and provide inputs into the bi-annual project supervision reports for projects; ensure compliance with donor and IFC portfolio reporting requirements and consistency in reporting, including AIMM (development impact ratings)
• Work with internal & external communication experts to strengthen infrastructure communication material and support IFC’s participation in external events.
