As an Investment Manager at FED, you will assume a central role throughout every phase of the investment process for our Direct Investment Fund strategy. This position demands leadership in evaluating prospective investments, conducting rigorous financial analysis, shaping deal structures and negotiations, managing due diligence, and tracking portfolio performance. Collaboration with cross-functional teams will also be essential, particularly in developing concept papers for diverse initiatives.

Thriving in a high-energy and rapidly evolving setting is imperative. Key Responsibilities: Provide leadership and oversight to the investment team across all stages of the investment process and fund lifecycle, encompassing deal sourcing, opportunity evaluation, participation in investment committees and board meetings, portfolio company oversight, exit strategies, and fundraising initiatives. Perform comprehensive risk assessments, identify strategic opportunities, and assess the viability of investments or emerging Greenfield projects. Lead detailed financial analysis, modeling, and valuation to evaluate potential investments and monitor portfolio performance. Guide the deal structuring process by analyzing investment terms, drafting term sheets and investment memos, negotiating terms, and coordinating deal execution. Conduct thorough due diligence on target companies, engaging with executive leadership and analyzing industry trends, competitive dynamics, and financial performance. Liaise with due diligence advisors, review their findings, and present insights to FED’s management and investment strategy committee. Assess and report on portfolio company performance, pinpointing key performance indicators and proposing enhancements. Track value-creation plans, including ESG implementation for portfolio companies. Prepare and distribute monthly and quarterly investment reports for FED’s governance bodies, including executive management, the board, and investors. Stay abreast of market developments, regulatory shifts, and macroeconomic factors influencing FED’s investment decisions. Support fundraising efforts by developing marketing materials and participating in investor engagements for portfolio companies or FED’s funds. Qualifications: Analytical Proficiency: Capacity to dissect intricate financial data, detect pivotal trends, and derive actionable insights. Financial Modeling Expertise: Skilled in constructing and deploying financial models to assess opportunities, forecast performance, determine valuations, and evaluate risk. Research & Due Diligence: Adept at conducting thorough research, analyzing market conditions, and performing rigorous due diligence on potential investments. Precision & Accuracy: Meticulous attention to detail in financial analysis, data interpretation, and report preparation.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your resume for African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), don’t just list your years of experience—prove mastery of les compétences demandées dans l'annonce with a specific, measurable achievement. Senior roles need concrete impact, not generic duties. This shows you understand the role’s real demands.

Positioning — Your cover letter must answer one question: why YOU for THIS specific role right NOW? Avoid generic templates — one sentence on what you specifically bring beats three generic paragraphs.

Key figures — Budgets managed, cost savings achieved, audits closed on time: prepare 3 precise financial achievements with amounts. African CFOs often test IFRS or local GAAP knowledge — be ready with specific examples.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
