Description

The Syndicated Loans and Mobilization Department ("CSL") is at the forefront of mobilizing private capital and credit insurance capacity for IFC clients from banks through the B Loan program, parallel lenders, and through MCPP from institutional investors and credit insurance companies. The Department's Co-Investor Solutions division ("CSLCU") is responsible for developing innovative products, platforms and other solutions to attract private capital into emerging markets, including IFC's initiative to warehouse and securitize assets that it originates. It is further responsible for mobilizing third party capital through the suite of syndication products as well as attracting non-traditional syndications partners, including institutional investors, to support the growth of IFC's loan business. The Department also manages the ongoing syndicated portfolio engagements with B Loan participants, parallel lenders, MCPP investors and global credit insurance companies.

CSLCU is currently seeking an MNA Fellow for its Global Portfolio and Analytics ("GPA") team based in Washington, DC. The MNA Fellow will report to the Head of GPA.
