IDB Invest is the private sector arm of the IDB Group and an international financial institution committed to addressing the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Our mission is to support sustainable enterprises and projects that deliver financial results while maximizing social and environmental impact in the region.
IDB Invest operates in 26 countries, structured across four geographic regions and three industry verticals: Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Intermediaries, and Corporates.
In support of a new transformative business model “Originate to Share” our shareholders recently approved a $3.5 billion capitalization. This will allow IDB Invest to significantly scale up its investments, to approximately $19 billion, and unlocking greater private sector participation to drive development and climate impact across the region.
We are looking for a motivated professional with demonstrated expertise in environmental and social risk assessment and management to join a team that provides technical support to ensure IDB Invest-financed operations are environmentally and socially sustainable. The role involves aligning projects with IDB Invest’s Environmental and Social Sustainability Policy (ESSP), and requires experience on social issues such as resettlement, Indigenous Peoples, contextual risk analysis, and stakeholder engagement, grievance mechanisms, labor and working conditions. Experience with extractive sector and critical minerals would be a plus.
You will work in the Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance Division (SEG), which is responsible for ensuring that IDB Invest financed projects and other activities are environmentally and socially sustainable. SEG specialists provide IDB Invest and its clients with guidance on environmental and social issues and participate in project teams and deliver technical input on social and environmental aspects during project due diligence and supervision.
National consultant: National consultant Full-Time, 36 months (up to 48 months, if applicable).
