Description

IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy, the outcome of which will be to double our volume of business by 2030 and triple the work we do in Low-Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict-affected States (FCS).

To do so, IFC will need to deploy its full range of financing, mobilization, advisory, convening, and thought leadership skills.

This also calls for the need to generate our own opportunities by proactively working "Upstream" to create, deepen, and expand markets and opportunities for the private sector and to imagine, design, and implement investment projects.

This strategy also relies on a closer WBG collaboration through the "Cascade" approach:

working with clients, we will first seek private sector solutions to address development challenges—where such solutions are advisable and can be effective—and reserve public financing for projects only when other options are suboptimal.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Contribute to the development of a client engagement strategy.
Support the Global Head in developing and managing relationships with key clients and other stakeholders.
Closely coordinate with the industry department to provide strategic advice to clients.
