This position is based in Arlington-VA, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador Guyana, Mexico, Peru, Suriname. Amid growing consensus that the protection, restoration, and improved management of ecosystems can provide at least 30% of the climate mitigation needed to limit warming to 1.5°C, Conservation International (CI) has set ambitious targets to realize the potential of natural climate solutions (NCS) worldwide. The Carbon Finance (CF) team within CI's Conservation Finance Division (CFD) is working across CI to source and finance a portfolio of high-quality NCS projects, creating industry-leading partnerships with the private sector and connections with CI field programs to ensure the delivery of ambitious climate and conservation targets. The CF team prioritizes impact through community engagement, biodiversity, safeguards, and high-quality carbon credits, as well as through projects that are located in "Irrecoverable Carbon" and Biodiversity hotspots. Each member of this team plays a critical role in making this impact mission a success. This position is an integral part of the CF team by ensuring that high-quality carbon projects are sufficiently funded throughout their lifecycle, while the needs and interests of stakeholders are taken into account. The role will be working closely with global origination and technical teams to support the delivery of turn-key service to both external partners and internally developed projects. The team is engaged with several leading institutional asset managers and corporates who rely on CI's expertise to design, structure, and manage natural capital impact strategies. The role will require working with internal and external partners to identify, review, and present project opportunities and then at a portfolio level, implement and manage these projects.
