About The Position

The Deputy Director Financing and Delivery (DD F&D) is a senior executive position responsible for KINETIK’s Financing and Delivery pillar, encompassing infrastructure, climate-resilient development, and investment mobilisation. The role provides strategic portfolio-wide leadership across the F&D pillar, ensuring effective delivery of climate-resilient investments and mobilisation of climate-aligned financing across the full KINETIK partnership. The role is accountable for ensuring that KINETIK delivers a credible, investment-oriented portfolio that translates policy ambition into financed and implementable outcomes. The role is accountable for setting the strategic direction and performance of KINETIK’s Financing and Delivery pillar, ensuring that priority infrastructure and climate opportunities progress from early-stage identification through to financing and implementation. This includes overseeing the development of a coherent pipeline aligned with Government of Indonesia priorities, DFAT objectives, and KINETIK’s EOPOs, and ensuring that infrastructure, climate, and financing elements are effectively sequenced end-to-end. Financing within KINETIK refers to translating climate and infrastructure opportunities into investible and implementable outcomes. KINETIK will do this in two ways. First, through supporting priority GoI climate and infrastructure projects through project preparation, investment readiness, financial and commercial structuring, mobilisation of capital and development of innovative financing approaches through government, development finance and private sector partners. Second, through private sector development based approaches, working to build Indonesia’s innovative financing ecosystem and capital markets to crowd in additional financing for Indonesia’s climate and infrastructure priorities. The Deputy Director Financing and Delivery provides portfolio-level leadership across this function, including setting priorities, allocating resources, and monitoring performance. Technical execution of financing and transactions activities is led by the Head of Financing and Transactions, while sector delivery is led by the Head of Climate Resilient Development. This role is prioritised for a suitably qualified Indonesian and international candidates with strong public and/or private finance credentials and established networks with Indonesian government and financial institutions. Candidates with demonstrated senior leadership experience in infrastructure, climate finance, or development finance are strongly encouraged to apply. As a member of the Executive Leadership Team (ELT), the DD F&D contributes to strategic decision-making and program governance. The role coordinates with the Deputy Director Policy, Partnerships, and Inclusion (PPI) to ensure end-to-end coherence across sector engagement, from policy and regulatory reform through to financing and delivery, and leads engagement with DFAT on Financing and Delivery matters. The DD F&D enables sector Leads (covering Renewable Energy, Sustainable Transport and Urban Connectivity, as well as Water, Sanitation and Solid Waste) to engage across KINETIK on policy, partnerships, and inclusion relevant to their sectors, and orchestrates cross-pillar sequencing where required.
