City: Bogotá, Lima
- Company: IDB Invest
- Posting End Date: August 22,2025

**Location**:
This position can be based in Bogota (Colombia) or Lima (Peru).

**We improve lives**:
IDB Invest is the private sector arm of the IDB Group and an international financial institution committed to addressing the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Our mission is to support sustainable enterprises and projects that deliver financial results while maximizing social and environmental impact in the region. IDB Invest operates in 26 countries, structured across four geographic regions and three industry verticals: Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Intermediaries, and Corporates.

In support of a new transformative business model “Originate to Share” our shareholders recently approved a $3.5 billion capitalization. This will allow IDB Invest to significantly scale up its investments, nearly doubling annual financing from approximately $8 billion to $19 billion, and unlocking greater private sector participation to drive development and climate impact across the region.

To deliver on this ambition, IDB Invest reorganized its structure and created the Regions Department, which manages business and client relationships from a country perspective. The regions include:

- Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay)
- Andean Group (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela)
- Caribbean (The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago)
- Central America, Haiti, Mexico, Panama, and the Dominican Republic

Additionally, the Industries and Cross-Cutting Themes Department manages business and client engagement from an industry perspective. It is composed of six divisions: three focused on core industries (Infrastructure and Energy (IEN), Financial Institutions (FLI), and Corporates (SMC)); two focused on cross-cutting themes (Climate and Environment (CLE) and Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI)); and one dedicated to Portfolio Management (PTM). Together, these divisions support the implementation of IDB Invest’s mandate by providing sectoral expertise, thematic leadership, and strategic portfolio oversight across the institution.

**About this position**:
The Infrastructure and Energy Division (IEN), part of the Industries and Cross-Cutting Themes Department, leads the development and delivery of operations in transport, water and sanitation, energy, and social infrastructure across all regions.

The Andean Group Division (RAN), part of the Regions Department, is responsible for managing business and client engagement from a country perspective within its member countries. It also provides oversight to the Country Representatives of the IDB’s Vice Presidency for Countries and to the Directors of Delivery Units at IDB Invest.

The Delivery Units are responsible for: (i) establishing and maintaining client relationships, (ii) building pipeline through upstream project and sector development, (iii) transaction execution through the incorporation of multiple financial products including loans, guarantees, debt capital markets, equity and quasi-equity instruments, as well as resource mobilization and technical cooperation and (iv) acting as the center of institutional knowledge and expertise for the sectors covered by the Division. This integrated model enables Delivery Units to align business development with strategic priorities, enhance regional coordination, and ensure operational effectiveness across IDB Invest.

You will report to the Director of the Delivery Unit that has a dual-reporting structure to both the Managing Director of the Infrastructure and Energy Division (IEN) and the Andean Group Division (RAN).

**What you’ll do**:

- Support the origination, structuring, negotiation, approval, and closing of structured finance (project finance) or corporate lending for infrastructure projects.
- Maintain a constant dialogue with local partners such as infrastructure developers and investors, governmental and regulatory agencies (at the sovereign and sub-sovereign levels), public and private institutions in the financial markets, and industry associations in the infrastructure space, seeking to build new relationships to generate new business opportunities.
- Develop and promote the participation of local and international institutional investors in the financing of infrastructure projects in the Andean region by structuring credit enhancement products and catalyzing funding resources from pension funds, insurance companies, asset managers, and family offices.
- As part of the overall structuring of highly developmental and risk-sound transactions, provide local insight during origination, initial screening, and overall structuring process, particularly on environmental, social, and corporate governance safeguards, development effectiveness, legal, risk, and integrity functions.
