About US:
Mango Fund is an impact investment fund that seeks to encourage economic development in emerging economies by getting behind local entrepreneurs – especially those that are performing value addition activities within their countries. We seek to support the “missing middle” – entrepreneurs that are too big for microfinance institutions, but too small to access loans from the banking sector.
Key Duties and Responsibilities: The Investment Analyst will actively participate in the following activities as Mango Fund serves its markets:
Keenly analyze historical and projected financial statements for prospective clients so as to determine the viability of the client businesses;
Prepare and present investment communication materials for the Investment Committee;
Carry out industry and market research and assist in Mango Fund’s business development efforts;
Prepare and review financial statements for portfolio companies and prepare reports on company and portfolio performance;
Establish and maintain quality client relationships to ensure responsive client service and to enhance new business opportunities;
As a relatively new organization, Mango Fund expects the analyst to be comfortable wearing many hats (doing multiple roles)
Qualifications, Skills and Experience:
The Investment Analyst should hold a Bachelor’s or equivalent degree with specialization in finance, accounting or economics;
At least two years’ experience in a financial institution with a proven track record;
The applicant for the Investment analyst job opportunity must demonstrate a commitment for international development.
Excellent analytical and problem solving skills and sound business judgment to identify issues and present creative and practical solutions;
Excellent communication skills;
Strong numerical ability and quantitative skills;
Demonstrated ability to work successfully in multicultural teams;
Good teamwork skills;
Strong client service orientation with openness to feedback and new ideas;
