    Default job background
    Description
    Investment Associate/Executive, Capital Solutions
    British International Investment is the UK's development finance institution, owned by the UK Government.

    We invest with the aim of solving the biggest global development challenges by investing patient, flexible capital to support private sector growth and innovation.

    We have 75 years of experience successfully supporting the sustainable, long-term growth of businesses in Africa and Asia, and have recently expanded to invest in the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean.

    We invest to achieve impact and a financial return which is then reinvested for more impact.

    Over the past five years, we have committed £7 billion of new investments, with our net assets growing in value to approximately £8.Over the next five years, we plan to grow further, and aim to commit around £9 billion of new investments over the period.

    These objectives mean an increased focus on climate finance, including investing in green infrastructure; on financing digital transformation; and on driving inclusive outcomes, including through gender and diversity finance.

    We changed our name to British International Investment in 2022, to more accurately reflect our central role in the UK Government's international financing offer.

    We take an entrepreneurial approach to investment. We are a team of over 600 and place immense value on diversity within our organisation.
    Purpose and Role of the Asset Allocation and Capital Solutions Team
    The Asset Allocation and Capital Solutions team sits within the Office for the Chief Investment Officer (OCIO).

    OCIO works with investment teams to set and execute the investment strategy across all sectors, products, regions and capital portfolios.

    OCIO covers five areas overseen by the Chief Investment Officer:


    • Asset Allocation and Capital Solutions ("AACS")
    • Investment Policy and Decision Making
    • Asset Allocation: Providing strategic direction on shaping BII's future portfolio to deliver our impact and financial objectives across geographies, sectors and products. Providing the tools to deliver BII's development goals, either through existing pools of capital (Growth, Catalyst, BII Plus and Kinetic) or with new pools of capital and partnerships, for which key parameters around impact, risk, return and governance must be designed and managed.

    The focus of the role is in supporting the implementation of Kinetic facilities but as part of a collegiate team with a broader mandate, the candidates will also contribute to other work being delivered by the Capital Solutions team.

    Kinetic facilities enable BII to make blended and concessional investments. The Climate Innovation Facility (CIF), the first BII Kinetic facility, was launched in late 2021.

    CIF is designed to enable BII to test and seed innovative, scalable, yet unproven technologies, businesses or investment strategies that have the potential for transformative climate impact across BII's markets.

    Kinetic facilities (80% focus)
    Kinetic facility management

    • Lead on financial management, working with relevant investment and operations teams at BII. This includes collecting accurate and timely data for shareholder pipeline reporting, cash flow forecasting and drawdowns of funds.
    • Lead on monthly and quarterly shareholder reporting including collating financial and impact information as required. Support internal communications and learning for investment teams, investment committee members and executive/non-executive management on Kinetic facilities.

    At the start of 2024 BII is exploring two new Kinetic facilities with FCDO – one focused on Mobilisation and one focused on deals in Low Income Countries.

    Work with Innovative Finance team members across the business to finalise funding agreements with FCDO.
    § Support the development of internal processes and documentation required for BII to administrate each facility.
    § Support development of communications materials to raise awareness of the facilities internally and externally.
    Monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL)

    • Coordinate Capital Solutions team inputs on the Climate Innovation Facility (CIF) MEL project, working with BII's Evaluations team and external consultants. This includes reviewing the monitoring plan for all CIF investments, supporting the development of the CIF research agenda and supporting facility-level evaluations.
    • Support the development of MEL frameworks for new facilities, working with relevant investment and development impact teams.
    • Support the development of investment and facility-level learnings and case studies for both internal and external dissemination.

    Support the Capital Solutions team in designing and implementing cross-company projects that help BII to identify capital gaps, expand its toolkit and reach impact objectives.


    • Facilitate sharing of best practices in blended finance within BII and to/from the wider innovative finance community.
    • Supporting the implementation of BII's partnerships with third parties including with Allied Climate Partners, the Shell Foundation and the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP) and maximise the mutual value of such collaborations.
    Experience managing grant-funded and/or blended finance programmes or facilities.

    • Experience working with donors such as FCDO and international foundations.
    • Excellent project management skills, including independently driving workstreams.
    • Ability to source and analyse data from multiple sources, and to synthesise this into key learnings.
    • Fluency in English required.
    Creative, innovative and entrepreneurial spirit. Possess an ownership mentality including a desire to take responsibility and being empowered to drive progress across key projects.

    • British International Investment is committed to diversity and inclusion and welcomes all applicants regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or educational background.
