For more information, visit [www.ifc.org](http://www.ifc.org/) IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work with businesses worldwide, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in the toughest areas of the world. IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy to stimulate more investment activity, especially in Low Income Countries (LICs) and Fragile and Conflict affected Situations (FCS). This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working "Upstream" to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design and implement investment projects. It requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries and addressing these bottlenecks through World Bank Group engagement on policy reforms and programmatic interventions at the country and sector level. It also requires capacity to leverage WBG programs and projects to develop our own proactive sector interventions and to imagine and design projects even in the absence of reforms. The Financial Institutions Group (FIG) is one of the major industry groups at IFC, responsible for managing roughly 40% of IFC's overall business in terms of volume and capital at risk. FIG engages in a wide range of sub-sectors including Climate, Microfinance, SME, Gender, Capital Markets, Housing, Distressed Assets, and other areas, with both investment and advisory services delivered to IFC's clients through IFC's global network. The Climate business is one of the strategic priorities of the WBG. IFC has set itself a very ambitious climate action plan and target - including energy efficiency, renewable energy, cleaner production and resource efficiency, waste and wastewater management, and green buildings - and has committed that 100% of all investments will be Paris aligned by 2025. To contribute to those targets, FIG has already quadrupled its climate finance investments over the last three years, working with FIs to scale up their financing of climate friendly projects. The focus is to support IFC's client banks and non-bank financial institutions build viable and scalable climate finance operations, leveraging capital markets as well as their client base and partnerships with real market and government players to promote Paris Alignment objectives. The FIG Europe Upstream (US) and Advisory (AS) Unit seeks to create opportunities for new private sector led investments in the region by developing a pipeline of investment-ready opportunities made possible using distinct tools and interventions, including investment structuring, and advisory. The objective of the unit will be to enhance the next generation of FIG investments across priority sectors in the region that promote net zero/decarbonization national strategies. IFC is seeking an US and AS Climate Officer for its Financial Institutions Group in Europe, responsible for the delivery of integrated investment, upstream and advisory solutions in climate finance. This will be done in close collaboration with the Industry Manager for Europe, to ensure high-impact upstream and advisory services projects that create new investment opportunities in climate finance; with a particular focus on defining new capital markets structures and asset classes. This specifically involves 1) incubating high impact projects and initiatives that require upstream project development to reach the point of investment and 2) getting potential clients ready for IFC climate related investment through advisory services engagement; particularly as it relates to climate risk given IFC's Paris Alignment commitments. Role & Responsibilities: The US/AS Climate Officer will have a range of evolving responsibilities in line with climate related strategic priorities of FIG Europe. Anticipated scope of duties and responsibilities during the assignment include the following: • Lead the design and implementation of FIG US/AS climate projects and develop a strong pipeline of quality climate investment opportunities for IFC by employing knowledge and experience of financial markets, climate market trends and industry standards – such as Paris Alignment. • Ensure the design and implementation of new FIG US/AS high-quality climate finance project pipeline, in collaboration with the FIG investment team to ensure strong alignment with the FIG investment and Paris Alignment strategies, WBG and IFC regional and country strategies and IFC ESG standards. • Identify game-changing regulatory reform, business models and trends that can present opportunities for new climate related capital market structures and asset classes. • Lead US/AS climate client engagements to support them in implementing climate related standards such as Paris Alignment, etc. to ensure the viability of climate related IFC investments. • Work closely with investment colleagues to develop and manage client relationships and foster cross departmental collaboration to meet client-specific requirements. • Engage with the IBRD to identify and contribute to sector and regulatory reforms that support opportunities for FIG related climate investment. • Disseminate and absorb knowledge and experience across the regional industry department and global teams to support adoption of new approaches and best practices. • Engage with officials within World Bank, governments, other development organizations, and the private sector to identify joint and IFC US/AS and investment opportunities. • Mentor and support junior staff working on Upstream activities.

A. Background of IFC The International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, is a leader in sustainable investment in emerging markets. IFC promotes private sector development and economic growth to reduce poverty and improve people's lives. IFC works to help achieve the World Bank Group's overarching goals of ending extreme poverty by 2030 and stimulating shared prosperity in every developing nation. To understand its impact, IFC has developed a results measurement system and a cohort of staff who specialize in helping operational colleagues understand and articulate the development impact of their projects. At the project level, IFC sets out to achieve concrete, measurable internal development targets that are specified at the design phase and, if needed, reviewed from time to time. These targets are linked to IFC's corporate development goals. Progress towards achieving these targets is continuously tracked by its monitoring system, after which evaluative approaches using multiple methods to assess the longer-term impact of interventions are employed. This deliberate, systematic approach allows IFC to track the progress of its projects throughout their life cycle, and incorporate lessons learned into operations to improve future goal setting and project design. It also helps IFC to become more results-focused and to improve its transparency and accountability to stakeholders. Through the business it does with its private sector clients, IFC's priorities in Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services (MAS) are: (i) increasing productivity and access to goods and services, while protecting the environment, supporting low carbon growth and enhancing resilience to climate change related impacts; (ii) making IFC the preferred financing partner of choice for targeted clients, in part through its world-class industry expertise; (iii) supporting select local companies to grow while improving their transparency, efficiency and sustainable competitiveness; (iv) catalyzing foreign investment, including mobilizing B loans and parallel loans; and (v) developing client, sector and country-level solutions that can be scaled and replicated with a special focus on climate change mitigation and adaptation.
