Description
Build a career with impact. Working at the World Bank Group (WBG) provides a unique opportunity to help countries solve their greatest development challenges. As one of the largest sources of funding and knowledge for developing countries, the WBG is a unique partnership of five global institutions dedicated to ending poverty, increasing shared prosperity, and promoting sustainable development. 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.
The International Finance Corporation (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 2025, IFC committed a record $71.7 billion to private companies and financial institutions in developing countries, leveraging private sector solutions, and mobilizing private capital to create a world free of poverty on a livable planet.

IFC’s 3.0 strategy aims to stimulate more investment activities across emerging markets, by proactively working “upstream” to create, deepen, and expand markets and design and develop potential investment projects. Achieving these ambitions at scale requires an approach that relies on (i) a broader product offering to engage earlier in project cycle and secure opportunities, (ii) a greater focus on preparing clients in nascent markets and sector development and (iii) a greater focus on value addition and risk management of portfolio investment clients to enhance their performance.
