Senior Digital Specialist - Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank

The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) is a multilateral development bank whose mission is Financing Infrastructure for Tomorrow in Asia and beyond, with sustainability at its core. We began operations in Beijing in 2016 and have since grown to 110 approved members worldwide. We are capitalized at USD100 billion and AAA-rated by the major international credit rating agencies. Collaborating with partners, AIIB meets clients' needs by unlocking new capital and investing in infrastructure that is green, technology-enabled and promotes regional connectivity.

The Sectors, Themes, and Finance Solutions Department (STF) fosters technical excellence and expands the Bank's financing expertise across all sectors and themes to support both sovereign and non-sovereign investment operations.

In close collaboration with the CDs, STF conducts upstream work to support and incubate new initiatives in frontier technologies, public-private partnership (PPP) advisory, and other productive sectors. It also guides the Bank's corporate strategy by setting thematic priorities such as: green infrastructure, technology-enabled infrastructure, private capital mobilization (PCM), and cross-border cooperation. In addition, the Department supports the Bank's efforts on cross-cutting themes including climate, gender and inclusivity, and nature.
