About the Role

This is an impactful job with real contributions to the green transition and improving living conditions in developing countries and emerging markets.

IFU is Denmark's Development Finance Institution and a leading emerging market impact investor. We think innovatively about ways to deploy our capital, attract and mobilise other investors, and drive sustainable impact in emerging markets by making commercial private sector investments that support the green transition, as well as building just and inclusive societies in developing countries and emerging markets.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Strategy Development: Define and drive priority initiatives in strategy implementation together with the business units, including setting appropriate KPIs and processes to track and review implementation.
  2. Brand Development: Assist in building a new brand for IFU, which is more targeted towards the commercial market. This includes marketing, communication, and investor relations.

  4. Investment Targets: Develop strategies, tools, and processes that will enable IFU to deliver on its investment targets.
  5. Annual Planning: Lead annual corporate business planning.
  6. Capital Plans: Develop updates to capital plans and investment mandates with IFU's owner, the Danish Government.
  7. Insights and Recommendations: Produce insights, recommendations, and fact-based decision material based on research and analysis for IFU leadership and business units.

You have strong experience within strategy development and project work, preferably from at least 2 years in a management consultancy. Experience with emerging markets, development finance, and private equity will be considered a plus, but is not a requirement.

In addition, you have:

  • A Master degree within economy, business, political or social science, financing, or something similar.
  • Strong quantitative analysis skills and ability to formulate and deliver recommendations with crisp communications.
