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, visit www.ifc.org.
Within IFC, support for the development and expansion of financing and advisory solutions across a wide range of sectors is one of IFC's key strategic priorities. The Global Manufacturing, Agribusiness & Forestry (MAF) and Global Health, Education & Services Departments (HES) work closely with IFC's regional industry teams to finance and provide technical guidance to companies in the manufacturing, agribusiness, services, and health & education sectors from IFC's own balance sheet and through mobilization of other capital.

IFC is seeking a Senior Investment Officer for CMGEQ based in Asia. The selected candidate will provide leadership and expertise to IFC's equity & mezzanine business in one or two regions.
