VACANCY ANNOUNCEMENT

General Context

BRD with its new strategic plan 2018-2024, BRD has a vision of being “an innovative and sustainable provider of development finance for socio-economic impact. This will be through its mission “To be a trusted and strategic partner for Rwandan’s development that offers financial solutions for enhanced value to our stakeholders. To achieve this vision, BRD has articulated three strategic themes:

  • Operational Excellence: Continuous improvement of our credit and risk management system, financial performance & customer services.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Forming strategic partnerships to deliver our mandate is a key component of our core activities.
  • Dynamic Culture: Continuously improving our pool of knowledge to have the most competent and skilled employees.

The Performance of BRD over the last years has been mainly driven by efforts by the Bank to maintain the asset quality and enhanced processes in the origination, and close monitoring to avoid migration of performing loans into NPLs. To achieve the Bank’s strategic plans the Bank has re-affirmed that it is critical to search for quality deals to ensure the loan book is maintained reasonably whilst boosting the Bank’s balance sheet quality. On this backdrop, the Development Bank of Rwanda is seeking to contract deal origination agents (DOA) to identify good quality projects on the market and invite clients to get project funding from BRD. The DOA’s will be contracted to identify the projects right from the onset and persuade the client/new investor to approach BRD for funding solutions.

Overall Objectives

The recruitment of DOA’s is instrumental to identify and channel quality development and investment projects to BRD for financing from project inception. The overall objective of having the deal/project origination agents is to scale up the Bank’s access to quality deals on the market and reduce the Bank’s reliance on walk-in clients which will subsequently boost the bank’s lending volumes and developmental impact whilst increasing the returns to shareholders.
