Principal Treasury Officer - Head of Client Solutions The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow in Asia and beyond-infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in 2016 and have since grown to 110 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA-rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients' needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.
The Principal Treasury Officer, Head of Client Solutions (HCS) will be primarily focused on driving the expansion of the Bank's financing capabilities in both hard and local currency markets. The HCS will engage with the Bank's internal stakeholders and relevant committees to adopt or further develop the policies and frameworks required to manage local currency operations. The HCS will lead the team in engagements with regulators, authorities, and market counterparts in jurisdictions identified in collaboration with the Investment Operations department.
As the Bank's portfolio in local currency continues to expand, the HCS will collaborate with other areas of Treasury in the context of the evolving Asset Liability Management approach. This may require expanding the team's operations to cover all or part of funding and investment operations directly linked to currency liquidity pools.
Also in the portfolio of the HCS will be the creation of flexible financing products; developing and implementing a strategy for supporting local currency treasury operations; proposing required changes to relevant authorizations, policies, guidelines, and controls, among others; as well as ensuring appropriate operational controls and risk management practices to support, upon approval, the implementation of the strategy.
The role will require active dialogue with the Bank's client-facing departments to participate in the rollout of relevant product developments. Moreover, it will require close engagement with relevant authorities in target countries and other financial centers. It will also require involvement with other activities in or associated with the Treasury function, including, but not limited to, capital market borrowings, associated derivatives transactions, credit rating agency engagement, financial projections, treasury strategy development, accounting controls, risk management, legal considerations, and IT infrastructure.
Responsibilities:

• Develop flexible financing products in anticipation of or in response to the Bank's clients' needs.
• Develop a strategy for Treasury operations in different types of markets and currencies.

• Define how the Bank can operate in each market type, including the identification of various funding sources, liquidity investments/warehousing instruments, as well as risk and liquidity management.
• Design and implement strategies to enable and grow the Bank's capabilities in local currency financing as well as structured products.
• Drive cross-departmental working groups to propose changes to relevant policies, guidelines, and controls to establish a structure for managing local currency risk, propose new exposure limits on risks associated with local treasury operations, and identify operational issues as well as define the strategy to address all such issues.
• Participate, as directed, in relevant internal committees and working groups as well as in relevant external conferences and peer group fora.
• Regularly report objectives and results to senior management.
• Maintain compliance with internal and external regulations and controls at all times.
• Contribute proactively to the improvement of the effectiveness and efficiency of the Treasury function by leveraging technology, driving automation, and defining best-in-class processes and procedures.
