Your Role

As Business Development Officer, you will play a central role in shaping and expanding FMO’s engagement with the European Commission, as well as other public partners.

You will act as the account holder for EC Guarantee Units, serving as FMO’s primary counterpart. In this role you will ensure alignment between EC priorities and FMO’s strategy, and proactively identify opportunities for collaboration. In parallel, you will work closely with Corporate Stakeholder Engagement (CSE) to monitor, interpret and help shape the EC’s Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF). You will translate these developments into actionable insights and concrete opportunities for FMO’s pipeline and positioning.

You will join the PIM Energy cluster, where your primary focus will be to originate and develop opportunities that support FMO’s Energy investment pipeline. At the same time, you will contribute to the development of PIM Private Equity solutions, working across teams to explore how guarantees and blended finance can support our equity strategy.

This is a multi-faceted business development role: while you will actively pursue alignment with upcoming MFF instrument, you will also proactively identify and develop opportunities with other public partners. Where MFF alignment is limited or uncertain, you will help ensure that alternative funding sources are mobilised to support FMO’s Energy and Private Equity ambitions.
