Investment Solutions Associate - Finance Solutions (6271)

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank (MDB) whose mission is to finance the Infrastructure for Tomorrow with sustainability at its core. It began operations in Beijing in January 2016 and has since grown to 110 approved members worldwide. Working 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 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.

The 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.
