Investment Solutions Associate (6042)

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. It spearheads the development and implementation of innovative investment projects and leads the introduction and operationalization of new products and financing modalities - often ahead of their mainstream adoption by the Client Departments (CDs).

In close collaboration with the CDs, the STF conducts upstream work to support and incubate new initiatives in frontier technologies, public-private partnership (PPP) advisory, and other productive sectors. It also guides the Bank’s corporate strategy by setting thematic priorities such as: Green infrastructure, Technology-enabled infrastructure, Private capital mobilization (PCM), and Cross-border cooperation. In addition, the Department supports the Bank’s efforts on cross-cutting themes including climate, gender and inclusivity, and nature.

STF further represents the Bank in international forums to address sectoral, thematic, and financing issues, actively networks with other development partners, and reinforces AIIB’s reputation as a premier development institution contributing to the global development agenda.  

STF is seeking a motivated Associate with solid analytical and research skills to support the department on sector and market analysis and provide analytical underpinning to support the development of investment solutions.
