Our culture
We’re all really passionate about what we do.
Be part of something special
BII has a high-accountability, high-performance culture. Our work is not straightforward. No-one has all the answers. So we thrive on a mix of shared purpose, collaboration and open, healthy debate. We’re never complacent. We are always exploring, learning and evolving. If something doesn’t work, we try a new approach. You’ll be encouraged to voice your opinion, and you’ll have the space to take ownership, test new ideas and shape the markets we work in.
I’m proud of my work, of our organisation, of the people I work with.
Our values

Diverse perspectives
We are incredibly passionate about diversity within our business. There’s no one type of person that does well at BII because we embrace different perspectives, opinions and approaches. Unlike most DFIs, we are a truly international institution with a diverse group of people from a range of national and cultural backgrounds.
-
Collaborative culture
This is a positive environment with a flat hierarchy that empowers people to step up and join in. You’ll be working with thoughtful, respectful people in a friendly, supportive and caring culture. Our people are ambitious to make an impact, not to compete with one another, so we help each other to succeed.
-
Balance and wellbeing
We believe in giving people the flexibility and freedom to work in the way that works best for them. So we offer a generous set of benefits and HR policies designed to promote your wellbeing and work-life balance.
At BII impact is first and that’s very different.
We are trying to solve some of the toughest challenges in our markets.
You have the opportunity to continuously learn, drive innovation and to think outside the box.
The culture is diverse, open and fair.

What gets me up in the morning is the feeling that I can offer something that makes a difference.
Everyone’s really driven by that shared sense of mission.
