Description

The Agriculture and Food team in the Latin America and Caribbean Region (SLCAG) working under the direction of the Latin America & Caribbean (LAC) Planet Department (SLCDR), supporting client countries tackle their most complex development challenges, including in the areas of Climate Change, and resilient, inclusive, and sustainable development. SLCAG's work program covers seven LAC Country Management Units (CMUs), and is led by a Practice Manager (PM), and a team of agricultural economists and specialists based at HQ in Washington, DC and across six country offices. The Unit manages a large operational portfolio and several analytical tasks. Looking ahead, in addition to Investment Project Financing (IPFs), there is a growing need for engagement on agriculture policy reforms through Program-for-Results (PforRs) and Development Policy Financing (DPFs), as well as Reimbursable Advisory services (RASs) and cutting-edge analytics to support the LAC agri-food system's green, resilient and inclusive transformation. SLCAG works in a collaborative manner with other GPs in landscape management, irrigation, fisheries, land use, nutrition, rural risk/insurance and policies. The focus of the team's work going forward is on the future of agri-food systems, green and resilient transitions, including inclusiveness, diversification of economies, jobs, agricultural competitiveness and linking farmers to markets, one health, leveraging the private sector, climate-smart agriculture, digital agriculture, financial innovation, resilience, and fragility and conflict, regional and cross-GP collaboration.

**Duties & Accountabilities**:
The WBG is recruiting a Senior Agribusiness Specialist based in Panama City, Panama. The Senior Agribusiness Specialist will report to the SLCAG PM and assist in the delivery of the Unit's work program, assurance of quality, interaction with internal and external clients, including the governments and private sector, and partnerships across LAC. The Senior Agribusiness Specialist will primarily focus on the SLCAG portfolio working on agrifinance and agribusiness development, but will also support the activities of other Planet units or other Practice Groups, such as the Finance, Innovation and Competitiveness Practice (FCI), and the Urban and Disaster Risk Management Practice working on disaster risk financing (DRF). The Seniro Agribusiness Specialist will also support the broader strategic dialogue and engagements, in areas including agrifinance, agriculture risk management, productive allicances, agribusiness competitiveness, and climate change.

In doing so, the Senior Agribusiness Specialist will work closely with the SLCAG PM, and the relevant Program Leaders. S/he will play an important leading or supporting role in the implementation support of complex operations, preparation of new operations and carrying out specific pieces of high priority Advisory Services and Analytics (ASAs). S/he is expected to lead the policy and reform dialogue in select LAC Countries among others, contribute to broader Planet and CMU engagements and dialogue, contribute to core analytic pieces for the country engagement as needed and proactively engage and seek opportunities for business engagement and support the Unit's achievements of operational milestones and results targets.

The Senior Agribusiness Specialist responsibilities will include, but will not be limited to the following:

- Play a key role in defining agri-food sector policy dialogue in LAC Countries, building and expanding on current activities, carry-out cutting-edge analytics, and provide strategic advice to clients, peers, and unit management relating to agri-food systems relevant themes - these could include policy and reform levers to inform macro-level agendas such as agrifinance, agriculture risk management, climate financing, and agribusiness development;
- Lead as Task Team Leader (TTL) or co-lead or serve as team member of complex operations, both in agriculture and multi-sectoral operations, assuring quality in all stages of the projects and other financial instruments such as MPAs, IPFs, DPFs, PforRs, and Trust Funds (TFs), and contribute to expanding current portfolio;
- Lead or co-lead sophisticated analytical and advisory service activities (ASAs) to support overall business development, inform reforms and fill knowledge gaps;
- Participate in the country strategic dialogue and represent the SLCAG team and provide contributions as needed;
- Support the effective and practical dissemination of knowledge products as well as potential knowledge exchanges;
