Key Responsibilities
- Provide thought leadership and advise the foundation's climate change policy and advocacy work.
- Co-develop and help execute the foundation's new cross-cutting climate policy and advocacy approach.
- Develop, negotiate, and manage a portfolio of investments in climate change policy and advocacy and all related grant-making processes.

- Write and produce clear, concise, and insightful briefings, messaging, reports, email updates, and other materials on key climate topics and other relevant issues for foundation leadership.
About You
We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced professional with a deep understanding of effective approaches to successful policy, advocacy, and communications that increase support for climate change issues. You will have a proven track record of providing vision and influencing others in a constructive, optimistic manner, while building and sustaining collaborative relationships. You will also have outstanding project and leadership skills, including the ability to lead strategy development through execution, develop shared goals and execution plans, prioritize, facilitate meetings, manage budgets, develop consensus, and work both autonomously and collaboratively.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in public policy, international relations, climate science, development, or a related field with 7+ years of progressive senior-level experience leading programmatic, policy, or advocacy initiatives on climate change and development issues.
- Deep understanding of effective approaches to successful policy, advocacy, and communications that increase support for climate change issues.
- Experience working on climate change policy and financing at a global, regional, or national level, either within government, climate philanthropy, climate funds, and/or the climate diplomacy community.
- Experience working with senior-level policy makers, civil society organizations, coalitions, and governments.
- Understanding of key regional and multilateral financial institutions and mechanisms, including climate funds, and how they make policy and fund development programs at national and regional levels.
- Proven track record of providing vision and influencing others in a constructive, optimistic manner, while building and sustaining collaborative relationships.
- Outstanding project and leadership skills, including the ability to lead strategy development through execution, develop shared goals and execution plans, prioritize, facilitate meetings, manage budgets, develop consensus, and work both autonomously and collaboratively.
