Job Description IFC’s Creating Markets Advisory (CMA) Unit delivers on IFC’s capital increase commitments by providing a foundation for IFC to increase private sector investment opportunities. CMA addresses key reform asks in IFC country strategies, complementing World Bank efforts, while strengthening IFC's relationships with client countries in support of IFC 3.0. Specifically, CMA works proactively with governments and regulatory agencies to create effective and efficient market conditions, both at economy wide as well as industry/sector level, for increased private investments. Our global experience shows that challenges in the business environment and lack of the right enabling regulatory framework results in countries losing significant amounts of investment annually.

The unit collaborates extensively with the public sector, private sector and other teams across the World Bank Group in the design and delivery of advisory services. IFC’s focus in Latin America and the Caribbean is on promoting Inclusive Growth, Competitiveness and innovation, Regional and global integration, and Climate change. CMA currently operates across the Latin America and the Caribbean region, with an active portfolio in Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Eastern Caribbean States, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Paraguay, and Peru. Roles and Responsibilities: Client and Stakeholder Management: Participate in senior level client meetings to provide technical advice and monitor progress in implementing financial sector reforms and conduct new business development in line with client and market needs as well as IFC priorities.

Leverage relationships with Government officials, private sector and World Bank Group staff to design and implement reforms targeting the financial sector, using existing or new projects and tools to support reform implementation. Communicate with senior level clients of the Government, banking sector and other private sector entities to articulate the case for reforms that can unlock new investment opportunities in the market. Work collaboratively with the IFC country offices and internal business anchors ( Investment/Upstream/Advisory) to orient CMA engagements toward building a 3-5 year pipeline of investment projects and provide solutions to key portfolio clients. Engage with the relevant teams at the World Bank and IFC to leverage synergies, develop joint initiatives and strengthen collaboration to implement reforms needed to unlock new markets and work collaboratively across IFC.

Engage pro-actively with donor partners to report progress on donor funded programs and develop new fund-raising proposals. Design and Operationalize Solutions: Collaborate within CMA as well as industry specialists in the identification and design of financial sector reforms to mobilize private investment in LAC as needed. Review and contribute to the development and approval of relevant project documents (Concept Notes and Implementation Plans) and client deliverables to ensure standards and objectives are met. Improve the design and delivery of client solutions by incorporating global best practices and lessons from past.

Partner with results team in developing appropriate theories of change and results frameworks and indicators to strengthen the development impact and sustainability of client solutions and continuously learn from client projects/ engagements. Ensure high quality of project management, project supervision and completion documents and provide quality control over client deliverables. Moreover, support client in implementing recommendations and help trouble shoot as needed. Create and Share Knowledge and Build Capacity: Support peer to peer knowledge exchange sessions across the region, lead diagnostics with the client and develop and implement advisory engagements in line with IFC investment and country priorities.

Conduct research to shape ongoing and future offerings on financial sector-level reforms and develop new tools and guidance to incorporate internal and external best practices. Design and deliver training and communication strategy for Investment and Advisory staff to better enable them to be champions for sector-level reform, and for external stakeholders to generate interest on sector-level reforms and understanding of why it is important/ advantageous to businesses, community and/or economy. Proactively strengthen the value proposition of advisory products through embracing new trends and partnerships.
