More than half of global GDP –$44 trillion of economic value–is dependent on nature and its services. Despite the clear economic case for environmental conservation, a significant proportion of global financial flows continue to promote activities that contribute toward the degradation of the world’s natural capital. Reorienting global finance toward ‘planet positive’ investments that advance nature protection while achieving climate mitigation, adaptation, and sustainable development objectives requires skilled professionals capable of designing novel financing solutions and effectively adapting existing finance tools and strategies to address these opportunities.
Konservasi Indonesia (KI), the main partner of Conservation International (CI) in Indonesia, is hiring a Nature Finance Manager (Landscapes) to lead a growing portfolio of landscape finance initiatives in Indonesia. Leveraging relevant knowledge, skills, and experience, this position will design, develop, and advance programs that support nature protection and sustainable, low-emissions development opportunities in priority Indonesian landscapes. This position will serve as a technical advisor and expert, advising internal and external partners on a range of sustainable financing mechanisms and strategies to support both institutional and country climate, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable development goals and objectives.
Ideal candidates will be knowledgeable in a broad range of nature financing tools and mechanisms including, but not limited to, nature-based carbon offsets and in-setting and associated financing structures, payment for ecosystem services (PES) schemes, thematic bonds and other debt instruments (e.g., green and blue bonds and sukuk, sustainability-linked bonds and loans), public and philanthropic funding instruments, and both public and private market debt and equity financing structures. This position will report to the Vice President, Nature Finance based in Singapore.
