Investment Analyst Fresher Jobs - Mango Fund

Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda

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.

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

  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.

  skills and sound business judgment to identify issues and present creative
  
  and practical solutions;

• 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;


• Previous experience of having worked on
  
  investments related to the manufacturing, agribusiness and services sectors
  
  will be an added advantage.


• Fluency in English and a local Ugandan
