Job description

Investment Solutions Associate - Finance Solutions (Base in Beijing)

Join us to apply for the Investment Solutions Associate - Finance Solutions (Base in Beijing) role at Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB).

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank (MDB) whose mission is to finance the Infrastructure for Tomorrow with sustainability at its core. It began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and has since grown to 110 approved members worldwide. Working with partners, AIIB meets clients’ needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.

The Sectors, Themes, and Finance Solutions Department (STF) fosters technical excellence and expands the Bank’s financing expertise across all sectors and themes to support both sovereign and non-sovereign investment operations. It spearheads the development and implementation of innovative investment projects and leads the introduction and operationalization of new products and financing modalities – often ahead of their mainstream adoption by the Client Departments (CDs).

In close collaboration with the CDs, the STF conducts upstream work to support and incubate new initiatives in frontier technologies, public-private partnership advisory, and other productive sectors. It also guides the Bank’s corporate strategy by setting thematic priorities such as Green infrastructure, Technology-enabled infrastructure, Private capital mobilization (PCM), and Cross-border cooperation. In addition, the Department supports the Bank’s efforts on cross-cutting themes including climate, gender and inclusivity, and nature.

The STF further represents the Bank in international forums to address sectoral, thematic, and financing issues, actively networks with other development partners, and reinforces AIIB’s reputation as a premier development institution contributing to the global development agenda.

The STF is seeking an Investment Solutions Associate for its Product Development and Management Team (PDMT) to provide analytical, technical, and operational support in delivering the product development and management agenda. The Associate will contribute to the introduction and development of innovative financing initiatives and support the implementation of the Bank’s PCM thematic priority. The role requires close collaboration across departments and engagement with external partners to strengthen the Bank’s impact, enhance financial innovation, and support the delivery of high-quality financing solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Support PDMT in identifying new product opportunities through market research, benchmarking of peer institutions, and review of emerging trends.
• Assist in reviewing project screening summaries and project documents to identify potential product implications and product development needs.
• Contribute to preliminary assessments of proposed product ideas, including data gathering for market sizing, competitive landscape analysis, and initial cost-benefit considerations.
• Support the drafting of product background, rationale, and descriptive sections of new product development proposals, incorporating inputs from CDs and other internal stakeholders.
• Assist in preparing product-related training materials and the organization of internal workshops and training sessions to enhance product scaling-up and internal awareness.
• Contribute to the preparation of product evaluation summaries, lessons learned, and recommendations for product enhancements or amendments.
• Assist in gathering data and conducting preliminary analysis of PCM potential for new and existing products.
• Support PDMT’s work with CDs in identifying PCM opportunities at the project level and to assess alignment with PCM objectives.
• Assist in preparing PCM-related inputs for internal reporting, management updates, and external stakeholder communications.

Coordination Support

• Support PDMT in day-to-day coordination with CDs, New Product Working Group and other departments to ensure smooth execution of the product development process.
• Assist in maintaining PDMT’s internal knowledge repository, records, workflow tracking, and database related to product development activities.
• Undertake any other job functions, duties and responsibilities as may be assigned by the supervisor from time to time, contributing to the overall objectives of the STF.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration or related fields.
• Minimum of 4-5 years (if with a Bachelor’s degree) or 3-4 years (if with a Master’s degree) of relevant experience in investment product development, structuring, or management at top-tier international commercial banks, multilateral development banks, or global financial institutions.
• Experience supporting the development and management of investment solutions across various instruments and asset classes (e.g., debt, equity, guarantees, blended finance, funds, etc.).
• Strong structuring and analytical skills, with the ability to support the development of fit-for-purpose financial solutions in complex environments.
• Familiarity with pricing strategies and risk mitigation techniques in product development.
• Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively as a constructive team member within a multicultural environment, fostering a culture of teamwork and inclusivity.
• Excellent oral and written communication skills in English. Proficiency in additional languages spoken by AIIB member countries is an advantage.
