Senior Investment Solutions Specialist - Digital Technology and AI-driven Solutions (6022)

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow in Asia and beyond—infrastructure with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in 2016 and have since grown to 110 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA-rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients’ needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.

The Sectors, Themes, and Finance Solutions Department (STF) fosters technical excellence and expands the Bank’s financing expertise across all sectors and themes to support both sovereign and non-sovereign investment operations.

In addition, the Department supports the Bank’s efforts on cross-cutting themes including climate, gender and inclusivity, and nature.
