Rockpools Special Counsellor

The Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG) is a coalition of like-minded official aid donors. The objective of PIDG is to help mobilise private sector investment to assist developing countries in providing the infrastructure vital to boost their economic growth and combat poverty.
PIDG has established a range of specialised financing and project development companies designed to overcome the obstacles to generating private sector investment in infrastructure projects in poor countries. Through these companies, PIDG brings financial, practical and strategic leadership; with a readiness to be bold and, where appropriate, back investments where others are reluctant to invest.
The role of the Special Counsellor will facilitate better communication and decision-making within the PIDG structure. Your outstanding leadership, sound judgement, gravitas and diplomacy skills will enable the PIDG Chair and the Chair’s Office to function effectively and efficiently, optimising the “light-touch” operating regime of the PIDG, whilst helping to protect its reputation and financial discipline.  You will have in-depth of knowledge of development finance, ideally in infrastructure, together with extensive experience of governance and strategic influence at Board level.  Moreover, your relentless commitment to supporting emerging economies in providing infrastructure to boost economic growth and combat poverty will set you apart.
