IDB: IDB Invest – Portfolio Management Officer- Corporates Division

JOB DESCRIPTION

We Improve lives

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, nearly doubling annual financing from approximately $8 billion to $19 billion, and unlocking greater private sector participation to drive development and climate impact across the region.

To deliver on this ambition, IDB Invest reorganized its structure and created the Regions Department, which manages business and client relationships from a country perspective. The regions include:

• Southern Cone (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay)
• Andean Group (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela)
• Caribbean (The Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago)
• Central America, Haiti, Mexico, Panama, and the Dominican Republic

Additionally, the Industries and Cross-Cutting Themes Department manages business and client engagement from an industry perspective. It is composed of six divisions: three focused on core industries (Infrastructure and Energy (IEN), Financial Institutions (FLI), and Corporates (SMC)); two focused on cross-cutting themes (Climate and Environment (CLE) and Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI)); and one dedicated to Portfolio Management (PTM). Together, these divisions support the implementation of IDB Invest’s mandate by providing sectoral expertise, thematic leadership, and strategic portfolio oversight across the institution.

The Portfolio Management Division (ICT/PTM) seeks a candidate to support the monitoring of a portfolio of non‑sovereign guaranteed loans and guarantees to corporate entities and special purpose vehicles created to develop productive investment projects. The assigned project portfolio will be primarily located in the northern and central regions of Latin America and cover sectors such as agribusiness, telecommunications, hospitality, and manufacturing, depending on the candidate’s experience and profile.

Transaction monitoring will require periodic and ad hoc financial performance analysis of counter parties and a review of loan documentation to ensure compliance with contractual obligations. The selected candidate will be the main point of contact for assigned clients and will be responsible for identifying contractual breaches and operational risks, proposing solutions to address those breaches and managing risks to ensure the stability and soundness of IDB Invest’s loan and guarantee portfolio.

• Work independently and collaboratively with other members of the ICT/PTM Division to supervise and monitor a portfolio of loans and guarantees with corporate counter parties.
• Collect and analyze information to assess counter parties’ ability to comply with financing agreements and propose risk mitigation measures.
• Analyze financial statements and projections of assigned clients, prepare risk rating proposals and periodic supervision reports to measure credit risk and development impact.
• Evaluate statuses/situations affecting loans and guarantees and, when necessary, disseminate information and prepare recommendations to define appropriate measures and next steps.
• Maintain close relationships with borrowers, their shareholders, B and C lenders, and internal counterparts.
• Manage monitoring visits and coordinate project supervision with departments such as Risk, Legal, Environmental, and Finance.
• Stay informed about relevant sector developments, news, and material events that may affect credit performance.
• Prepare and share lessons learned from projects in the portfolio and contribute…
