Are you passionate about unlocking capital for innovative businesses and catalyzing private investment in









under-served markets? We are looking for an experienced Impact Investment Advisor who can drive capacity

building across Ghana’s SME ecosystem to support businesses in accessing finance. In parallel, the selected

Advisor will shape and deliver impactful investment ecosystem support to help facilitate increased flows of

sustainable capital towards Ghanaian businesses. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives at the

intersection of finance, development, and innovation.

The programme: BII's Ghana Investment Support Programme

British International Investment (BII) is the UK’s development finance institution. Over the past five years, BII

have committed almost £7 billion of new investments, with net assets growing in value to approximately £7.5

billion. As part of this commitment, BII have launched The Ghana Investment Support Programme (GhISP).

GhISP is a technical assistance programme, delivered by DAI, that aims to increase investment flows to

underserved SMEs in Ghana, with a particular focus on BII’s investment themes (Gender, BOLD, Climate,

Target Populations) by employing a dual portfolio support and market shaping approach. Anchored around

Growth Investment Partners (GIP), BII's local currency debt investment vehicle for SMEs in Ghana, GhISP

provides 1) pre and post investment support to GIP and other BII portfolio companies in Ghana, and 2)

shapes the broader investment ecosystem to unlock investment through market-level pipeline development

and field building.

Tasks and Responsibilities

The selected candidate will join our GhISP deliver team at BII’s offices in Accra. Working closely with the

Senior Advisor and Programme Coordination, the Advisor will support in the delivery of all elements of the

• Develop innovative approaches to support SMEs, leading the design and delivery of technical
  
  
  

assistance and transaction advisory projects. Support the development of partnerships with SMEs,

including origination and evaluation of potential pipeline.

• Build and manage a network of Transaction Advisors and run outreach campaigns to support SME

• Work with the Senior Advisor to help financial institutions and private capital funds adopt stronger

• Lead on developing new ways to engage with financial institutions, investors, and ecosystem actors to
