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.

Private sector financial development is essential to the promotion of successful and sustainable economies in emerging markets. Infrastructure plays a key role in sustained economic growth by providing critical public services to the citizens in a country as well as a platform for efficient operation of businesses that create jobs. The private sector plays an increasingly important role in the financing and delivery of infrastructure and public services, including through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs).

IFC's transaction advisory services department (CTA) is housed in the IFC Cross Cutting Solutions Vice Presidency (CCSVPU) and consists of two business lines:

- PPP Transaction Advisory (C3P) offering transaction advisory services to governments to design, structure PPP transactions in infrastructure to help client governments partner with the private sector to deliver affordable and high-quality infrastructure.
- Corporate Finance Services (CFS) has three key product offerings: (1) M&A Advisory: advising on buy-side / sell-side transactions; (2) Equity Mobilization Program (EMP): supporting third party equity mobilization alongside IFC investment; (3) Asset monetization involving listed or listing public entities.

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience and over 120 staff across the globe, CTA is currently managing over 100 active client engagements. Within the WBG, IFC plays the leading role in mobilizing private capital for the WBG. In FY24, CTA mobilized $4.7B of private investment (approximately 25% of IFC's total core mobilization) and expects this to grow in the near future -in line with the WBG's drive to expand private capital mobilization, particularly in emerging markets. The new hub is being developed in furtherance of this objective.

IFC's CTA MCT (CTAPM) region is now seeking to recruit an (Associate) Investment Officer to support the regional team, management and specific transaction teams in processing and implementing PPP mandates where IFC acts as Lead Transaction Advisor to government clients. The (A)IO will be based in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, reporting to the C3P Regional Manager for MCT.

**Roles and Responsibilities**
- Working with governments in various countries across MCT (with a focus on the GCC) in identifying and developing PPP transactions for infrastructure projects;
- Contributing to origination and marketing activities, including preparation of pitchbooks and PPP advisory proposals, market analysis, early-stage project assessments and client presentations;
- Preparing memos and documentations needed for internal approval and governance processes;
- Supporting the team with administrative tasks such as reporting, filing, clients' integrity due diligence;
- Performing financial analysis and building or reviewing financial models;
- Assisting project team leaders in project management, including preparing terms of reference, procurement and coordination of external consultants' work;
- Assisting in reviewing due diligence reports, including in data collection and analysis, and in the review of legal, commercial, environmental and social, and technical outputs and documentation;
- Supporting the project team leader with the articulation of a PPP structure and recommendation to the client, and with drafting a transaction structure report;
- Assisting in preparing information memorandums, and reviewing pre-qualification, tender documents and PPP contracts;
- Assisting in marketing PPP transactions to potential investors, conducting roadshows and international competitive tenders and facilitating commercial/financial closure;
- Participating in meetings and negotiations with government clients and investors; and
- Assisting in other project or CTA, IFC and WBG strategy related activities as the need arises (research, internal notes, etc.).

Selection Criteria
- MBA or Masters degree in Finance, Management, Business or a related field;
- Minimum 6 years of relevant experience in an infrastructure sector and/or with a financial or advisory institution involved in PPP transaction advisory, M&A and privatization, project finance, or private equity investment;
- Knowledge of infrastructure / PPP industry and market players / relevant sector drivers and trends (including pow
