Job Title:  Investment Impact Data Analyst

Organisation: aBi Finance Ltd

Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda

About the Company:

The Agricultural Business Initiative (aBi) was jointly founded by the Governments of Denmark & Uganda in 2010 as a social enterprise that channels development cooperation funding to agribusinesses & agricultural service providers.

In 2021, aBi Finance transitioned from a company limited by guarantee to a company limited by shares in a bid to commercialize its operations and attract new investments. As an impact investor, aBi Finance Ltd provides sustainable financing solutions in Uganda’s financial services sector. Our mission revolves around enabling access to agribusiness and green finance, achieved through three key strategies: offering competitively priced liquidity through lines of credit (LoC), mitigating agribusiness finance risks using the agribusiness guarantee (AG), and bolstering the capabilities of financial services providers through Financial Services Development (FSD) and Business Development Services (SOS).

Job Summary:   The Investment Impact Data Analyst plays an important role in supporting data-driven decision-making at aBi Finance; ensuring that aBi management and stakeholders, including the board, have access to accurate, reliable, and timely data analytics to inform strategic investment decisions and program design. The analyst uses advanced statistical analysis, predictive modeling, and data visualization techniques to identify high-potential investment opportunities, forecast investment outcomes, and assess program impact.
