Summary

Assess and monitor the development impact of ATIDI’s underwriting operations in Nairobi. The Impact Assessment Officer evaluates expected outcomes and additionality, integrates findings into transaction decisions and follows results through portfolio monitoring and evaluation, supporting credible reporting to the Board and partners.

About the role

Reporting to the Impact Coordinator, you apply ATIDI’s Impact Assessment Framework throughout the transaction cycle. Impact ratings sit alongside risk and pricing considerations, with analysis of outcomes such as jobs, energy access, trade, gender inclusion and climate effects. The remit connects underwriting decisions with client data, portfolio reporting, evaluation and improvements to the institution’s impact methodology and systems.

Key responsibilities

Assess proposed transactions’ expected development outcomes and financial or non-financial additionality, assigning documented impact ratings.

Prepare impact notes for screening, underwriting committees and Board papers and define baselines, indicators and targets at entry.

Collect and validate results from policyholders, lenders and investors, maintaining traceable evidence and escalating material underperformance.

Support evaluation of mature transactions and turn lessons into improvements in origination, underwriting and impact methods.

Prepare portfolio analysis and reporting for the Board, shareholders and annual disclosures, including relevant climate and sustainability information.

Improve the impact framework and digital systems, coordinate impact-risk oversight and train colleagues and clients on reporting requirements.

Key requirements

Master’s and bachelor’s degrees in economics, development economics, finance, public policy, statistics or a closely related field, as listed in the advert.

At least five years in sustainability, monitoring and evaluation, impact assessment or ESG.

Experience designing results-measurement systems and reporting on impact or ESG, with knowledge of relevant investment and sustainability standards.

Strong quantitative and qualitative analysis, Excel proficiency and at least one statistical or BI tool such as Stata, R, Python or Power BI.

Experience with an MDB, DFI, export-credit agency or political-risk/credit insurer is strongly preferred.

Fluent written and spoken English and French, with strong stakeholder communication and the ability to manage competing priorities.
