In GIZ's Digital Transformation Cluster, we promote a sustainable, inclusive and sovereign digital development through "Tech4Good". To this end, we advise political partners and strengthen digital ecosystems in developing and emerging countries.

To accelerate investments in green and secure digital infrastructures, GIZ is establishing a Digital Investment Facility (DIF) covering Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) in close collaboration with the Government of Finland. The DIF will support the facilitation of investments in data infrastructure (Data Centres and Internet-Exchange-Points), that are environmentally friendly (green) and in line with state-of-the-art cybersecurity to mobilise investments under the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) and other funding sources from EU Member States.

**Your tasks**:

- Assess requests from Sub-Saharan African partner countries and/or project promoters with regard to their eligibility for DIF support incl. risk assessment and preparation of investment decisions
- Define and manage the targeted support and advisory activities with DIF partner countries and/or project promoters, including procurement and steering of external consultancy services for project design, review, and pre-feasibility studies
- Develop and foster partnerships across all levels, targeted outreach with and coordination of a network of relevant local and regional stakeholders, including development banks, donors, and other GIZ programmes
- Develop targeted regional project portfolios in the regions of Sub-Saharan Africa
- Support to establishment and refinement of DIF processes with European implementing partners
- Promote knowledge exchange on topics of infrastructure promotion, digital connectivity and cooperation with development banks within GIZ and its partner system, for example through South-South cooperation, participation in communities of practice and innovative formats for knowledge transfer
- Manage procurement and administrative processes in accordance with GIZ compliance and integrity rules
- Contribute to reports (regular and ad-hoc), PR materials, and other related tasks to reporting and communication for the DIF

**Your profile**:

- University degree, ideally with a focus on digital transformation and/or finance/banking/business or economics topics.
- Several years of relevant professional experience in the nexus of finance and digital transformation and/or digital connectivity, assessment, and preparation of public sector investment projects, preferably gained abroad
- Practical experience in technical assistance and advisory services for national or subnational stakeholders in developing countries and emerging economies, particularly in Africa, ideally in network and digital industries
- Experience with (international) financing institutions; working experience with financial intermediaries (e.g. national promotional banks) in developing and emerging economies is advantageous
- Experience in the cooperation with international donors of Official Development Assistance, such as the BMZ, the World Bank, European Commission, on Digital4Development topics
- Proven ability to handle politically sensitive negotiations, particularly in intercultural contexts in partner countries of German Development Cooperation
