This position can be based in: Asuncion, Sao Paulo, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires or Montevideo.

**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 Corporates Division (SMC), part of the Industries and Cross-Cutting Themes Department, leads the origination and delivery of operations in agribusiness, manufacturing, tourism and digital economy.

The Southern Cone Division (RSC), part of the Regions Department, is responsible for managing business and client engagement from a country perspective within its member countries.
