About Women’s World Banking

Women’s World Banking is the global leader in women’s financial inclusion. Rooted in our deep understanding of the women’s market, we tackle financial inclusion in three interconnected ways: first, by partnering with financial services providers to develop scalable market-driven solutions; second, through our gender-lens private equity funds; and, finally, because diverse institutions are proven to be stronger, we build institutional capacity through leadership and diversity programs. Through this holistic approach and our global reach of 51 institutions in 28 countries, we accelerate economic opportunity for low-income women and growth for financial service providers in the emerging markets.

PURPOSE OF THE ASSIGNMENT

The WAM team seeks an intern (the “Intern”) to provide support for impact measurement and management initiatives for the fund. Please note that internship will be virtual with the option for a hybrid work schedule in our New York office. Academic credit is mandatory.

  • Testing and refining an impact scorecard.
  • Monitoring portfolio company impact metrics.
