3FP Fund Senior Analyst Building Markets New York, United States
Building Markets is establishing the Factor Finance for Procurement (3FP) project, a loan guarantee fund for local small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in developing countries who have successfully won international procurement contracts. This project will work closely with local banks, who will provide the lines of credit (LoCs) to these SMEs, while the 3FP facility will provide a partial backstop. The objective of the project is to increase local SMEs’ access to needed funding when typically these contracts require significant up-front costs and the timing of buyers’ payments can be uncertain. In general, the SME market in developing countries is an underserved segment of the local private sector. In addition, the project intends to increase the lending capacity of local banks in these countries by allowing them to experiment with new forms of lending while having a partner to share the risk. This project will be based in New York with field offices in each of the countries in which the facility operates.
The Senior Analyst provides operational and strategic support to the 3FP Project Lead and 3FP project team.
