IFC — a member of the World Bank Group — is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities. Our mission is to leverage the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity on a livable planet.

Private sector financial development is essential to the promotion of successful and sustainable economies in low and middle-income countries around the world. Sound and efficient financial markets can ensure that resources are allocated where they are most productive, assisting job creation and spurring economic growth. IFC’s goal is to prioritize investment in the financial sector because it promotes development in all other sectors.

The Financial Institution Group (FIG) is one of IFC’s key Departments responsible for a significant portion of IFC’s business volume, profitability, and development reach, approximately 40%. FIG engages in a wide range of sub‑sectors including Microfinance, SME, Gender, Climate, Insurance, Capital Markets, Housing, Distressed Assets, and other areas.

IFC’s Distressed Assets Recovery Program (DARP) focuses on making investments in the distressed assets space, establishing investment facilitates and building servicing capacity in emerging markets globally. DARP has a successful track record of transactions and IFC is looking to expand its investment activities in this line of business. As a result, IFC is looking to recruit an Analyst to join the DARP team, with the aim to continue to scale up DARP’s business, as well as strengthen the management of the existing portfolio.

The Analyst will be based in Washington, DC, and will report to the Global Head of DARP.
