Investment Manager or Executive - Private Equity Funds and Co-Investments - 12 month FTC

Industries, Technology and Services Group ("ITS") consists of five sub-teams - i) Technology & Telecoms, ii) Manufacturing, Agribusiness and Forestry, iii) Consumer Services and Social Infrastructure, iv) Private Equity Funds & Co-Investments (PEFCO). We use equity, debt, and intermediated (primarily funds) investment instruments to reach our target sectors. The PEFCO team covers generalist funds and co-investments.

PEFCO is involved in sourcing, executing and managing fund investments and co-investments in Asia and Africa that are aligned with BII's strategy around Productive, Sustainable and Inclusive impact. The PEFCO team closely collaborates with sector and impact teams to achieve BII's objectives.

PEFCO takes a hands-on patient approach to backing funds that are aligned with BII's impact objectives across BII's target markets, ensuring the right teams and strategies are in place to make underlying businesses successful and impactful in the long term. PEFCO also focuses on co-investing alongside the funds in the portfolio which allows us to target our capital to investments aligned with BII's objectives.

There are four levels in the team - Associate, Executive, Manager and Director. In practice, people at all levels are involved in all aspects of our work including presenting to Investment Committee and representing BII externally. Directors and Managers act as deal and portfolio leads/oversights, and Executives execute and support the deal lead, including leading on certain workstreams.

We are looking for someone to join the team for a fixed term contract, 12 months, ideally at Investment Manager level or a strong Executive level candidate, to cover a team member's absence.

Responsibilities:

Please note, the below responsibilities are written for a Manager level, however, as mentioned earlier, people at all levels are involved in all aspects of the work and an Executive plays more of an execution and support role while being involved in the below areas. Specific responsibilities will be driven by priorities and needs of the team at the time, but are expected to include some or all of the following:

• Lead role in managing a portfolio of funds in BII target markets, including actively monitoring the financial performance and development impact of the funds and their compliance with BII's investment policy.
• Lead role in sourcing, analysing and executing new fund investments and co-investments, with the objective of selecting fund managers/co-investments with the highest potential financial and developmental impact.
• Working with BII's Environmental and Social, Business Integrity, Development Impact, Climate, Gender and Diversity, Legal and Finance teams in support of both fund selection and relationship management.
• Building and nurturing relationships with key stakeholders in Asia to support portfolio management and investment origination.
