MCA-Indonesia II is seeking a qualified and dynamic individual to join our team as a 

Deputy Executive Director for Infrastructure Finance

Further details about the position and application guideline are provided below.

1. Introduction and Background 
   
   

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) is a U.S. government agency established in 2004. Its mission is to provide assistance that will support economic growth and poverty reduction in carefully selected countries that demonstrate a commitment to democratic governance, economic freedom, and investments in their citizenry.  

  

In December 2018, MCC’s Board of Directors selected Indonesia as eligible to develop a second Compact. The selection reflected the strong partnership MCC and Indonesia built during the first Compact.  

  

The Indonesia Infrastructure and Finance Compact (“Compact”) was signed on April 13, 2023, and it entered into force on September 4, 2024. The objectives of the Compact are: 

1. to improve project planning and preparation for infrastructure projects under the Advancing Transport and Logistics Accessibility Services (ATLAS) Project
2. to reach financial close on transactions using structured finance, including deals with institutional investors and with a focus on local currency transactions (FMD Project or FMDP).

  

The Government of Indonesia has established an Implementation Independent Agency, called the Millennium Challenge Account – Indonesia II (“MCA-Indonesia II” or “MCA”), to act as a designee in supervising and managing the implementation of the five-year Compact in Indonesia.

Detailed information about the Compact is available on the MCC website (refer to Annex I: Program Description of the Compact) and the MCA-Indonesia II website.
