Assist Africa’s unbanked populations’ to access basic financial services.
Division Manager, Financial Inclusion
The African Development Bank’s Financial Inclusion Division supports Regional Member Countries’ aim for near-universal access of essential financial services. Its programs and projects facilitate the unbanked populations’ access to basic financial services at a lower cost, while achieving acceptable financial security and safeguarding financial stability. The Bank now seeks a division manager to champion this goal through driving a wide-range of financial inclusion programs and projects.
To this end, you will plan, organise and supervise your team whilst constantly monitoring and analysing economic developments in regional member countries. At the same time, you will recommend programs to senior management, head multidisciplinary teams of investment officers, economists, engineers and lawyers to deliver projects, and conduct complex negotiations with government officials and private investors, giving you significant influence and visibility. In particular, you must be able to make expert recommendations on project structuring, including the selection of partners, technologies and approaches.
To be equal to the challenge, you will require at least a master’s degree in Finance, Banking, Economics, Business Administration or another relevant discipline, backed by extensive experience in the financial or socio-economic development sector. Notably, you will bring deep knowledge of financial sector regulation, financial inclusion, SME finance, mobile banking and payment systems, alongside real passion for digital payments and other technology solutions. Finally, it goes without saying that you will be very IT literate, skilled in resolving problems and disputes, and capable of communicating in either English or French with a working knowledge of the other language.
This position is based at the Bank’s headquarters, Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire. Applicants must be nationals of one of the Bank’s member countries.
The closing date for applications is 31 August 2015. For more information on the position and to apply, please visit http://www.afdb.org/en/careers/
