IFC, a member of the World Bank Group, is the largest global development institution focused exclusively on the private sector in developing countries.

We utilize and leverage our products and services as well as products and services of other institutions in the World Bank Group to provide development solutions customized to meet clients' needs. We apply our financial resources, technical expertise, global experience, and innovative thinking to help our partners overcome financial, operational, and political challenges.

Clients view IFC as a provider and mobilizer of scarce capital, knowledge, and long-term partnerships that can help address critical constraints in areas such as finance, infrastructure, employee skills, and the regulatory environment.

IFC is also a leading mobilizer of third-party resources for its projects. Our willingness to engage in difficult environments and our leadership in crowding-in private finance enable us to extend our footprint and have a development impact well beyond our direct resources.

The Associate Operations Officer will also be responsible for building connections with stakeholders, focusing on sponsors from FCS diaspora communities residing in the GCC.

  4. Provide regular updates on the pipeline and portfolio of investment and advisory/upstream projects for Regional Management, including weekly and biweekly reports
  5. Support all regions in responding to IDD requests related to GCC-based companies and sponsors
  6. Monitor and analyze business performance, updating the pipeline of advisory and investment projects
  7. Conduct research and analysis to identify potential partners and investee companies in the UAE
  8. Prepare strategy briefs, working papers, presentations, and materials for internal and external stakeholders
  9. Organize and contribute to IFC events, including webinars, roundtables, and conferences
  10. Lead the planning and execution of senior WBG official missions in the region
  11. Assist in meetings with private companies, public authorities, IFIs, and bilateral agencies, ensuring follow-ups and action point implementation
  12. Support GCC investors with cross-border investments in the MCT region and FCS countries
  13. Contribute to knowledge sharing across the World Bank Group (WBG) on relevant topics across the region and beyond.
  14. Coordinate with IBRD/IDA and other WBG stakeholders as needed
  15. Support the GCC Senior Manager in various aspects of office administration, including procurement and execution of general services (rental/lease agreements, maintenance, security, etc.)
  16. Manage administrative tasks related to local and international staff visas in coordination with Public Relations Officers (PROs)

Selection Criteria

  1. Master's degree in business administration, Finance, Economics, or a related field
  2. Minimum 8 years' experience in consulting, banking, or other knowledge-based work environment
  3. Effective interpersonal skills, strategic thinking, and ability to successfully operate in a diverse work environment at all levels
