Knowledge, Skill and Experience requirements

  • Experience of building ESRG capabilities and functions, including preferably setting up monitoring and reporting, or portfolio management, processes for ESRG risks.
  • Able to demonstrate relevant technical knowledge, regulation and knowledge of legislation in the context of ESRG and Infrastructure and understanding the application of developing regulatory and market standards for financial institutions e.g. CS3D, ISSB and international development bank/ECA standards.
  • Personally enthused by the Bank’s twin missions of local and regional growth and climate change.
  • Proven ability to work with, influence, and navigate stakeholders including commercial and senior partners, academia or government departments.
  • Experience of overseeing and building capability of other colleagues in developing ESRG expertise in a nurturing and inclusive way.
