Job Description

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank (MDB) 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 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 (PPP) 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.

Responsibilities:
  • Identify and assess innovative financing initiatives and investment modalities aligned with AIIB’s strategic and thematic priorities.
  • Support the development, structuring, and implementation of innovative financing initiatives and investment modalities.
  • Assist in preparing internal documentation for innovative financing initiatives and investment modalities approval, operationalization, and monitoring.
  • Coordinate with CDs to tailor innovative financing solutions for projects across a range of sectors and geographies.
  • Conduct research on prospective PPP markets, identifying constraints and providing solutions for delivering PPP transactions.

  • Coordinate and collaborate colleagues in the CDs in developing relationships with government and other stakeholders toward advancing PPP transactions.
  • Provide support to PPP transaction advisory, including market assessments, mandate structuring, and technical input on deal development and processing.
  • Contribute to market development and knowledge-sharing activities, including workshops, briefings, and external partnerships that promote innovation and private capital mobilization.
  • 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:
  • Master’s degree or equivalent in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or related fields.
  • Minimum of 5-8 years of relevant experience in investment product development, structuring, or management at top-tier international commercial banks, multilateral development banks, or global financial institutions.
  • Hands-on experience of providing advisory support for PPP transactions across multiple sectors and markets is strongly preferred.
