PSC1 leads the coverage of public-sector clients, taking responsibility for project preparation, due diligence, and approval processes of projects, ensuring key economic, commercial, financial, and legal issues are considered and incorporated in the financing structure and legal documentation, and followed through during the implementation phase
The Transport Unit within PSC1 is tasked with carrying out the Department's mandate within the transport sector across Region 1. In addition, the unit is responsible for developing client relationships and managing project teams in the more incipient sectors in Sub-Saharan Africa. These are: health, education, digital and other productive sectors linked to infrastructure
The Senior Investment Officer within PSC1 is responsible for the origination, structuring, and execution of infrastructure-related public-sector transactions contributing towards AIIB's overall lending program by supporting the planning, design, preparation, and implementation of projects/programs that will help meet the rapid growth in the Infrastructure Public Sector in Region 1.

Training and developing junior team members will be an important responsibility.

Responsibilities:

  • Ensure key economic, financial, technical, legal, environmental, and social issues are considered, and mitigants are incorporated in the financing structure and legal documentation during the project preparation.
  • Participate in overseeing the implementation of AIIB's investment operations with the objective of enhancing quality and accelerating project implementation, with a focus on delivering results.
  • Lead or participate in dialogue with clients, co-financing partners and other stakeholders on strategic issues, and the implementation of AIIB's investment.
  • Advise clients on the preparation of technical and feasibility studies and technical design of projects, leading to investment prioritization and cost-effective solutions to investments.
  • Conduct project risk assessment of projects and programs, and advise project teams on mitigation strategies to manage such risks.
  • Carry out due diligence and institutional assessments on executing agencies, including implementation capacity assessments of project counterparts.
  • Support business development activities in public infrastructure sector projects by interacting with clients, governments, other institutions (commercial banks, multilateral agencies, NGOs, consulting firms, contractors, intermediaries, etc), gathering information on the ground, and building business relationships.
  • Undertake regular supervision and implementation support missions and site visits, as needed, to ensure that the projects will meet development objectives and to help the borrowing governments and implementing agencies to 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 the sector leads.

Requirements:
  • Minimum of 8-10 years of relevant working experience, preferably in a multilateral development bank, undertaking economic feasibility studies for transport investments, urban transport development planning and/or traffic management/analysis.
