IFC sees private equity and venture capital as making a valuable contribution to development by providing capital and know-how to fast growing companies that are leading drivers of job creation in the emerging markets. In addition to its more traditional business, IFC supports these companies through its Disruptive Technologies Group, which invests directly in early and late-stage venture companies as well as in early-stage venture capital funds.
IFC is seeking a Senior Investment Officer to lead IFC’s venture capital investment activities across Francophone Africa, French-speaking North Africa, Madagascar and Mauritius. In addition to the regional specific coverage, the candidate will provide leadership and oversight responsibilities for the broader Africa region on 1) IFC’s VC funds program; and 2) developing relevant corporate initiatives, partnerships and upstream engagements to enhance IFC’s strategic positioning in the region, working closely with the broader IFC and World Bank teams on building entrepreneurship ecosystems. Finally, the candidate will seek to become involved in, and leverage, European start-ups that are developing unique technology solutions applicable to the African region and beyond.
S/he will be based in Dakar, Senegal and will report to the Chief of Technology Investment and Global Portfolio Manager for the Disruptive Technologies and Venture Capital team (CDFDT).
