Government & Country Solutions

The Senior Investment Manager is part of Invest International’s Government & Country Solutions (GCS) business unit. GCS develops, coordinates, finances and manages Invest International’s engagement with governments and public-sector stakeholders in partner countries. The team connects country needs with Dutch expertise, businesses, knowledge institutions and financing solutions to support sustainable economic development and address global challenges.

A key responsibility within GCS is the execution of Invest International’s public infrastructure programmes DRIVE and Develop2Build. Through these programmes, Invest International supports the development, financing and implementation of public infrastructure projects in areas such as healthcare, agri-food, water, climate resilience and sustainable manufacturing. These investments help create the conditions for sustainable growth, innovation and broader sector development.

The current portfolio comprises approximately 100 projects, representing around EUR 870 million in committed grants and subsidies.

As Senior Investment Manager, you will originate, develop and oversee complex public infrastructure projects that support sustainable sector and economic development. You will join the GCS regional team covering Southern Africa, Latin America and Europe and work closely with governments, companies, financiers, development partners and colleagues across Invest International.

You will be responsible for:

• Originating and assessing new project opportunities in priority countries and sectors, evaluating technical feasibility, economic viability, financing options and implementation requirements.

• Structuring and driving complex projects from early-stage development through investment decision, financial close and implementation, working closely with governments, companies, financiers and internal and external specialists.

• Maintaining oversight of relevant country portfolios, identifying emerging opportunities and risks and building strong relationships with key public- and private-sector stakeholders.

• Overseeing project implementation, including procurement processes and the monitoring of financial, operational and contingent-liability risks at country and regional level.

• Providing practical guidance on complex financing, procurement, client-relations and reputational-risk matters arising during project development and implementation.

• Coaching colleagues through active knowledge sharing and contributing to effective collaboration across GCS and the wider organisation.
