Associate Investment Officers, IFC Global Transaction Team Program

IFC's Global Transaction Team Program offers a unique opportunity to launch a global career as an investment professional helping to build the private sector in developing countries. Participants join as Associate Investment Officers – responsible for identifying, structuring, closing and monitoring IFC's loans and investments – and build their expertise through assignments in different countries, close to our clients. IFC's approach is to combine rigorous analysis, innovative deal structuring and a focus on financial sustainability and positive development impact. We are looking for current students or recent graduates of MBA or Master's degree programs with strong financial skills, professional achievement, leadership potential and a demonstrated commitment to development.

IFC also hires investment officers directly into its country and regional offices on a year-round basis. Such positions are advertised on our website under Current Opportunities . Interested and qualified applicants to the GTT Program may also be referred for these positions.
Program Features and Career Path
The two-and-a-half-year GTT Program is structured to provide participants with a solid understanding of IFC's business and strategy, a global network, and regional experience in one of our three industry groups (Financial Markets; Infrastructure and Natural Resources; and Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Services).
Participants join IFC in September of each year and spend 12 months with a Global Industry Department at IFC's headquarters in Washington, DC. During this period, they learn IFC's investment process, build their internal network and undertake professional training, including a 6-week residential credit course. Participants are then assigned to one of IFC's larger offices (e.g. Hong Kong, Istanbul, or Johannesburg) for 18 months and immediately add value working directly with project teams and clients sourcing, executing and monitoring investment transactions.

Following the program, GTT participants pursue a global career, gaining broad exposure across industries, investment products and regions. Depending on business need and personal preference, they pursue a series of assignments in different regions and/or Washington, DC. Participants are expected to be geographically flexible and interested and able to relocate as business needs require. See attached description of the GTT Career Path .
