About the Role:
We are seeking a highly skilled Environmental and Social (E&S) Risk Management Specialist to join our team at International Finance Corporation (IFC). This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to our mission of promoting sustainable development in emerging markets.

About IFC:
IFC is a member of the World Bank Group and the largest global development institution focused on the private sector in emerging markets. We work in over 100 countries, using our capital, expertise, and influence to create markets and opportunities that benefit both people and the planet.

Your Responsibilities:
As an E&S Risk Management Specialist, you will be responsible for providing support to Financial Intermediary (FI)-related transactions in the East Asia and Pacific (EAP) region. Your key responsibilities will include:

• Reviewing E&S issues/risks in new investments and select advisory engagements with financial sector clients, including banks, funds, non-bank financial institutions, and microfinance institutions.
• Identifying and developing risk mitigation measures and value-add solutions, including through transaction structuring, to support clients in addressing identified issues throughout IFC's project cycle.
• Providing clear and proactive guidance to IFC investment teams on E&S risk management in project decision-making and processing throughout the investment cycle.
• Supporting FI clients in the development and implementation of their Environmental and Social Management Systems (ESMS).
• Proactively monitoring portfolio clients and engaging with clients and investment departments to promote client compliance with contractual E&S requirements.
• Clearly documenting and communicating any outstanding or emerging gaps between client performance and IFC requirements, and related risks to IFC.

About You:
To be successful in this role, you will need:

• A Master's degree or equivalent professional qualification in an environmental, social-development, or other relevant discipline.
• Minimum 12 years of professional experience working on E&S risk management in the international context, with strong preference for experience in the financial sector.
• Experience working with E&S policies and standards, international financial institutions, and demonstrated familiarity with IFC Performance Standards are preferred.
• Working experience in emerging markets is an advantage, especially in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
• Willingness to travel regularly in emerging market countries.
• Strong analytical skills, ability to think strategically, analyze and synthesize diverse information sources, draw conclusions from sometimes limited data, and develop solutions in potentially tense or conflicting situations.
• Demonstrated ability to adapt to changing circumstances, organize and prioritize deliverables, and maintain attention to detail.
• Excellent interpersonal, communication, and negotiation skills, including the ability to communicate persuasively with a wide range of internal and external parties (including senior staff, management, IFC's accountability mechanism, and clients) and present E&S risks and management solutions in a manner that non-experts can understand.
• Ability to work effectively as a member of a multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural team, influence and negotiate point of view within teams.
• Exemplary project management skills and ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously under tight deadlines.
• High personal integrity and emotional intelligence, with demonstrated ability to handle sensitive matters in a discreet and respectful manner.
• Diplomatic approach and calm under pressure.

Benefits:
IFC offers comprehensive benefits, including a retirement plan, medical, life, and disability insurance, and paid leave, including parental leave, as well as reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities.

Culture:
We are proud to be an equal opportunity and inclusive employer with a dedicated and committed workforce, and do not discriminate based on gender, gender identity, religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or disability.
