We are not the employer, we do not conduct these recruitments, and we cannot guarantee what happens once you make contact — you deal directly with the person or company behind the offer, at your own risk.

As an Investment Manager at FEDA, you will spearhead the end-to-end investment process for our Direct Investment Fund strategy, overseeing everything from initial opportunity assessment and financial analysis to deal structuring, negotiation, due diligence, and portfolio performance tracking. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, providing strategic guidance in drafting concept papers for diverse projects.

Expert Application Advice

When tailoring your CV for African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank), don’t just list your years in finance—show how you’ve mastered Excel with real results. For senior roles, a concrete metric or outcome proves you’re ready to lead, not just manage.

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.
