Principal or Senior Banker, Financial Institutions Business Group, southern and eastern Mediterranean

This is a defining point in the history of the southern and eastern Mediterranean (SEMED). It’s also a pivotal time for the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). We’re expanding into the region, ensuring the stable economic growth demanded by the people who live here. It’s a unique moment – and you can be part of it.

About the role
Originate, structure and close transactions using a full range of financing structures and instruments. Monitor and and manage loans and investments. And develop and motivate a specific team. You’ll do all of that when you join our Financial Institutions Business Group. It’s a varied, high-profile role that will see you work right across the project lifecycle, address both equity and debt situations, and contribute across teams and geographies. At the same time, you’ll share your expertise with junior colleagues, offering guidance and advice on everything from project screening and due diligence to negotiation and project completion or exit.

About you
Thanks to strong experience in a leading investment, merchant or commercial bank, or a private sector financial organisation, you’ll have good relevant experience of lending to, or investing in, financial institutions. It’s a background that will have honed your financial skills and knowledge. You’ll be well-versed in either US GAAP or IFRS accounting for instance, adept at structuring and executing transactions and skilled at producing projections and models. Ideally you’ll hold a postgraduate or professional qualification and have first-hand knowledge of the SEMED region’s business environment. Fluency in Arabic and French would also be a plus. And, of course, you’ll be a strong communicator, team worker and problem-solver.

About us
Owned by 61 countries, the European Union and the European Investment Bank, the EBRD supports projects whose funding needs cannot be fully met by the market. We have operations in 29 countries from Central Europe to Central Asia and we are currently expanding into the southern and eastern Mediterranean. Our work covers a huge variety of sectors and projects. And while each one of them is unique in the challenges it presents, all share the common goals of encouraging private investment and promoting secure and stable market economies.
