The posting

Public Infrastructure, is Denmark’s primary instrument for supporting large‑scale public infrastructure in developing countries. Fully integrated into Impact Fund Denmark, it remains a central component of Denmark’s development cooperation under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Danida).

High‑quality infrastructure is essential for sustainable and inclusive economic and social development. Yet in many low‑ and middle‑income countries, project preparation and access to capital are limited. Public Infrastructure addresses this gap by providing concessional financing and technical expertise for non‑commercial public infrastructure projects in emerging markets and fragile states. Through this work, it contributes to the UN 2030 Agenda, the Sustainable Development Goals, and Denmark’s development strategy.

Public Infrastructure supports projects across the full lifecycle - from early project definition and feasibility, through construction, to handover and monitoring of development results for up to five years after completion.

The Role

We are seeking an Investment Director with deep insight and a well-developed understanding of the possibilities, trends and instruments with concessional or blended finance, e.g. from multilateral development banks, EU or other institutions with a development mandate in concessional or blended finance. The role requires mastery of the full investment processes for public infrastructure projects, including financial analysis and structuring, assessment of development and climate impact, ESG evaluation, legal review, project scoping, due diligence, and negotiation of agreements.

The Investment Director will carry out deal sourcing, networking, management of all key aspects of the investment process, including financial analysis and structuring, development, and climate impact, environmental, social and governance, legal, scoping and carrying through due diligence, negotiating agreements. Furthermore, the Investment Director will undertake management of portfolio through project development, feasibility, design and tendering.

The Team

The Public Infrastructure team consists of 10 colleagues that are based in Copenhagen, Johannesburg and Nairobi. The open position is a replacement for a colleague that is retiring at the end of the year, and will be based at our Headquarter in Copenhagen.

Qualifications & demonstrated capabilities

  • Minimum 15+ years of relevant experience
  • Possess a university degree in a relevant field, for example in Economics or Finance
  • Strong understanding of concessional and blended finance instruments from MDBs, the EU, and similar institutions
  • Proven ability to manage all aspects of the public infrastructure investment process, including financial analysis, structuring, climate and development impact, ESG, legal review, due diligence, and negotiations
  • Deal sourcing and networking with various stakeholders.
  • Management of all key aspects of the investment process, including financial analysis and structuring, development, and climate impact, environmental, social and governance, legal, scoping and carrying through due diligence, negotiating agreements.

  • Capacity to work independently, lead processes and project teams on your own and be a resource for others/ mentor others through challenging decision-making processes.
  • Operational experience with managing infrastructure projects, e.g. water and sanitation, waste, energy or other.
  • Successful project management with demonstrated ability to drive things forward in an often complex and political environment. The right candidate demonstrates patience, drive, pro-activity, and great structure.
