    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 in developing countries. In fiscal year 2023, IFC committed a record US$43.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity as economies grapple with the impacts of global compounding crises.

    IFC's Public-Private Partnerships Transactions Advisory Services department provides sell-side financial advisory services to client governments with the purpose to increase access to basic infrastructure and social services by facilitating private investments in these sectors. Specifically, the team acts as Lead Transaction Advisor to governments to structure and implement public-private partnerships (PPP) transactions across all infrastructure sectors, e.g. power, water, transportation, and telecommunications, as well as social sectors such as health and education, with a particular focus on energy and transport, and for the following types of transactions:


  • Public-Private Partnerships e.g. BOT type concessions
  • Management and lease contracts
  • Restructuring and privatization of state-owned enterprises
    • The department is looking to recruit an Associate Investment Officer (AIO) to work with the PPP team in the Middle East and Central Asia (MCT) region.

  • Participate in meetings with government ministries and departments and sub-national public entities to discuss and assess their needs and ideas to improve access to infrastructure and delivery of public services and to identify potential PPP projects for IFC transaction advisory assistance;
  • Understand the legal and regulatory impediments for private sector participation for assigned countries and work closely with the World Bank to overcome these;
  • Understand World Bank program for assigned countries and work with them to engage with government counterparts to implement a coordinated strategy.
    • Assist in the day-to-day management of project execution to contribute to the structuring of innovative PPP projects and to the development of recommendations to clients, including:
  • Assist in due diligence management, review of legal, commercial and technical outputs, project structure design, and drafting of project contractual documentation;
  • Prepare complex financial models and perform financial analysis;
  • Assist in managing project marketing to potential investors, completing road-shows, conducting prequalification and tendering (including negotiation of project agreements with bidders) up to award and commercial/financial close;
  • Assist in coordinating closely with other parts of IFC including environmental and social, legal, other advisory and investment departments as well as World Bank colleagues in order to provide comprehensive and bespoke solutions to clients that will achieve sustainable development impact;
