The Senior Investment Officer will be responsible for the origination, structuring, and execution of infrastructure-related public-sector transactions, with an emphasis on developing and implementing low-carbon and climate-resilient infrastructure projects, climate policy reform programs, results-based financing programs, and economic evaluations of infrastructure investments as well as policy reform measures. They will contribute support the planning, design, preparation, and implementation of projects/programs that will help meet the rapid growth in public-sector infrastructure in Region 2.

- Conduct project risk assessment of projects and programs and advise project teams on mitigation strategies to manage risks.
- Carry out due diligence and institutional assessments on executing agencies, including implementation capacity assessments of project counterparts.
- Support business development activities in public-sector infrastructure projects or nonsovereign-backed financing to state-owned enterprises by interacting with clients, governments, other institutions (e.g., commercial banks, multilateral agencies, nongovernmental organizations, consulting firms, contractors, intermediaries), gathering information on the ground and building business relationships.
- Undertake regular supervision and implementation support missions and site visits, as needed, to ensure that projects will meet development objectives and to help borrowing governments and implementing agencies address any implementation issues they might be facing.
- Support business development and implementation support activities, as needed (specifically during mission trips), in close coordination with relevant teams.
Requirements:
- Minimum 8-10 years of experience in the health, energy, transport, water, information and communication technology, urban, and/or climate finance and green infrastructure sectors gained in a multilateral development bank (MDB) or international financial intermediary in Region 2.
- Master’s or advanced degree in economics, public policy, or related fields, or a sector specialization (water, transport, energy, health, digital, urban development). Technical background at the undergraduate level would be helpful.
- Proven track record of leading cross-functional teams to design and implement multisectoral and climate finance operations in collaboration with internal staff and government/partner stakeholders.
- Experience advising government officials in Region 2 on climate policy and sectoral development priorities, with a track record of developing policy dialogue outcomes into bankable projects, programs, or policy-based financing operations.

- Extensive experience working with infrastructure operations, combined with an understanding of clear linkages between project inputs and activities, economic impact, outputs, and outcomes in infrastructure.
- Strong understanding of economics, climate change, and nature; broad knowledge and familiarity with issues in development finance; and an understanding of an economy’s overall performance and how macroeconomic factors may affect the performance of infrastructure projects.
- Strong knowledge of and experience in multiple infrastructure sectors as well as climate policies in Region 2 would be an advantage.
- Proficient in oral and written communication in English. Knowledge of other languages spoken in Region 2, such as Russian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish, would be an advantage.
