Description

About the World Bank Group:

Established in 1944, the World Bank Group (WBG) is one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries; a unique global partnership of five institutions: the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), the International Development Association (IDA), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA), and the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID). With 189 member countries and more than 120 offices worldwide, the WBG works with public and private sector partners, investing in groundbreaking projects and using data, research, and technology to develop solutions to the most urgent global challenges.

ITS Vice Presidency Context:

Information and Technology Solutions (ITS) enables the WBG to achieve its mission of ending extreme poverty and promote shared prosperity in a sustainable way by delivering transformative information and technologies to its staff working in over 150 locations.

Our vision is to transform how the Bank Group accomplishes its mission through information and technology. In this fast-paced, ever-changing world, the formulation and implementation of the ITS strategy is an ongoing, iterative process of learning and adaptation developed through extensive consultations with business partners throughout the World Bank Group.

ITS shapes its strategy in response to changing business priorities and leverages new technologies to achieve three high-level business outcomes: business enablement, by providing Bank Group units with innovative digital tools and technologies to transform how they deliver value for their clients; empowerment & effectiveness, by ensuring that all Bank Group staff are connected, able to find information, and productive to accelerate the delivery of development solutions globally; and resilience, by equipping the Bank Group to provide risk-based cybersecurity and robust data protection for a global network and a growing cloud platform.

Implementation of the strategy is guided by three core principles. The first is to deliver solutions for business partners that are customer-centric, innovative, and transformative. The second is to provide the Bank Group with value for money with selective and standard technologies. The third principle is to excel at the basics by providing a high performing, robust, and resilient IT environment for the organization.

Unit Context:

As a unit within the WB Operations and Corporate (ITSOC), the Data and Analytics unit (ITSDA) provides state-of-art information and technology applications to support the operations of the World Bank Group. Functions provided ensure that the systems meet the business needs of users and external clients to manage business processes for the World Bank.

Our plans are to migrate our on-prem data repositories and re-engineer based on new Cloud architectures in the coming years.

ITSDA is seeking a IT Officer, Data and Information Management with strong technical skills, to help ITSOC reach its goals of optimizing its global delivery model.  He/she will work as part of the Data Platforms team in designing and managing the next-gen data platform that supports our data management, engineering, data governance, business intelligence, and data science teams.

Description

IFC—a member of the World Bank Group—is the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in more than 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities in developing countries. In fiscal year 2020, we invested $22 billion in private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging the power of the private sector to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity. 

While IFC continues to expand its traditional roles of advisory services and investment operations, IFC has embarked on an ambitious new growth strategy (IFC 3.0) to stimulate more investment activity. This strategy calls for generating our own opportunities by proactively working “Upstream” (i.e. prior to and/ or in anticipation of a project or investment), to create, deepen, and expand markets and to imagine, design, unblock and implement investment projects. It requires taking a systematic approach to understanding the regulatory and sector bottlenecks that prevent the flow of private capital into productive investment in our member countries, as well as addressing these bottlenecks through World Bank Group engagement on policy reforms and programmatic interventions at the country and sector level. It also requires capacity to leverage WBG programs and projects to develop our own proactive sector interventions and to imagine and design projects even in the absence of reforms. 

 

The Infrastructure and Natural Resources (INR) business line provides financing solutions to clients focused on the power, transport, telecoms and municipal and environmental infrastructure sectors. A strategic focus for the INR department in Asia Pacific is to ramp up activities in the cities space (municipal lending, waste, water and urban infrastructure). Cities are large contributors to economic development and quality of life. IFC is looking to support this municipal infrastructure development, engaging upstream with strong private, and subnational partners to support the development, financing and implementation of pipeline of bankable, impactful and sustainable deals. Through IFC’s Cites Practice, IFC draws on its global network, mobilizes commercial financing for priority projects, connects cities with capital markets and helps diversify their investor base. This is done through an integrated approach, combining advisory and investment work. The Cities team’s mandate covers all urban infrastructure and services, either through direct financing to cities or subnational, financing to private sector or – working jointly with our PPP team, PPP solutions.

 

To support the growth of its Cities business, IFC is seeking a Senior Operations Officer for its Cities team, with expertise in urban financing, urban infrastructure or services sector. The selected candidate will focus on supporting the development of high-quality Upstream pipeline for subnational governments, primarily in India, under the supervision of the Regional Cities Lead. S/he will also support policy work and other interventions across the World Bank Group to prioritize various initiatives and to maximize the impact of Upstream efforts.
