Role overview

The Equity Funds Team is responsible for the Bank's equity fund portfolio and works in a similar way to an institutional fund of funds manager. EBRD's support of private equity fund managers helps improve the supply of equity capital and accelerates the development and institutionalisation of the private equity industry in the region. The role of the Analyst is to contribute, as a project team member, to the reviewing, structuring, implementation and monitoring of investment transactions, and their effective implementation and monitoring in line with the Bank's operational objectives.

Accountabilities and Responsibilities

Under the guidance of the operation leader or a more senior banker:

1. Structuring and Execution
  • Work as a project team member on transactions, contributing to all aspects of project structuring and execution, including working with client counterparts, consultants and other parties to progress the project;
  • Be the primary driver of the scope and quality of project due diligence, including financial, market, integrity and EBRD policy compliance;
  • Prepare internal project documentation, including project approval memoranda, financial models, draft term sheets, presentations etc as and when required;
  • Take responsibility, as operation leader, to design and process technical co-operation assistance, ensuring that technical co-operation processing and approval fits with the approval schedule of any related investment project or the related policy dialogue initiative;
  • Ensure that all tasks within his/her responsibility are completed within the specified time frames to a high standard and in line with the policies, procedures and objectives of the Bank.

2. Portfolio Monitoring, Value Creation and Reporting

  • Take responsibility for the implementation and monitoring of all projects to which the Analyst is assigned, including: compliance with project agreements and Bank procedures related to disbursement; monitoring of progress of the project implementation and financial performance of the client; assessing evolving risk factors and monitoring and assessing covenant compliance, in the case of more senior Analysts, becoming the operation leader for the project once it is in implementation and/or monitoring phase;
  • Prepare timely and comprehensive monitoring reports and include recommendations for corrective actions where required and ensure these proposed corrective actions and recommendations are brought to the attention of more senior team members;
  • As technical co-operation funds operation leader, ensure effective implementation and monitoring of technical co-operation assignments to ensure their compliance with donor reporting requirements, operational objectives and that all reports are of a high quality;
  • As a project team member perform all such tasks as may be assigned by the operation leader.


3. Business Development

  • Assist, as required, with marketing and business development efforts.

    The responsibilities of the Analyst are designed to allow for the development of transaction expertise and expansion of responsibilities, leading to assuming the role of an operation leader on standard, non-complex transactions. In such cases, the Analyst's accountabilities and responsibilities would be increased to undertake a role of an operation leader under the supervision/guidance of more senior bankers or the Team Director.

Qualifications, Skills, Experience and Knowledge

  • Bachelor's degree. Master's degree preferred or equivalent experience in the areas of expertise.
  • Professional qualification such as ACA, CFA, ACCA, or CIMA desirable.
  • Relevant financial industry experience from an investment or commercial bank, private equity firm, fund of funds investor, asset management firm, or auditing/financial consulting firm operating to international standards. For candidates with fund of funds background, experience in direct co-investments is not necessary but would be an advantage.
  • Practical experience of participating in transactions through the full project life cycle.
  • Exposure to industry/country experience.
  • Strong quantitative/numerical skills are critical with the ability to interpret financial information and to design and use financial models.
  • Credit analysis skills, with the ability to interpret accounts, understanding local and international accounting principles and practice of credit analysis.
  • Computer literacy, conversant with Microsoft Office and spread sheet packages including financial analysis and modelling modules.
  • For internal candidates, excellent understanding of relevant systems and processes.
  • Ability to work effectively as a team member and to deadlines and under time pressure.
  • Excellent written and oral communication skills in English.
  • Good command over the local/country language is an advantage.
