We improve lives

The IDB Group is a community of diverse, versatile, and passionate people who come together on a journey to improve lives in Latin America and the Caribbean. Our people find purpose and do what they love in an inclusive, collaborative, agile, and rewarding environment.

IDB Invest is the private sector arm of the IDB Group committed to supporting the sustainable development of Latin America and the Caribbean through the private sector. Our mission is to finance, structure, and mobilize capital for companies and projects that support economic growth, resilience, and long-term development across the region.

IDB Invest operates in 26 countries, structured across four geographic regions and three industry verticals: Infrastructure and Energy, Financial Institutions, and Corporates.

As part of its evolving business model, “Originate to Share,” IDB Invest is expanding its capacity to mobilize private capital and scale development impact across Latin America and the Caribbean, supported by a $3.5 billion capitalization from its shareholders. The model strengthens IDB Invest’s ability to originate high-quality assets, structure innovative financial solutions, and connect global capital with opportunities across the region.

About This Position

We are looking for a proactive, results-oriented, resourceful and relationship-driven Blended Finance Funds Consultant.

This position would be directly involved in program design, donor engagement, and fund development and management for global climate funds, with a particular focus on the Climate Investment Funds (CIF). You will work in the Blended Finance Division of the FSM Department. At the Blended Finance Division, we manage the deployment of IDB Invest’s US$ ~1.25 billion of concessional donors’ funds under management towards highly additional and catalytic projects where actual or perceived risks are too high for commercial finance alone, strategically deploying concessional funding alongside private and commercial capital to unlock high-impact investments that face financing barriers. Working across IDB Invest, the Division deploys third-party funding into innovative blended investment structures through a range of instruments, including concessional debt, equity, guarantees, outcome-based finance, and grant-based technical assistance.

The Blended Finance Division is responsible for the technical management of third-party blended finance and technical cooperation funds. The Division works closely with the IDB Group’s Global Partnerships Office (GPS), which manages the Group’s relationship with donors and acts as funds administrator.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
