The European Climate Foundation (ECF) was founded in 2008 as a major philanthropic initiative to help tackle climate change by fostering the development of a low-carbon society at the national, European and global level.
We support over 280 partner organisations to carry out activities that contribute to the public debate on climate action, drive urgent and ambitious policy in support of the objectives of the Paris Agreement and help deliver a socially responsible transition to a net-zero emissions economy and sustainable society in Europe and around the world.
Context of the role
The goal of ECF International Forum for Energy (IFE) is to support the work of the organisation in developing strategies to secure clean energy around the world in the interests of healthy citizens and a healthy climate. The programme supports strong, effective and innovative interventions to address the barriers to the transition in the energy sector.
IFE is currently helping countries in Southeast Asia create an enabling environment for accelerated transition to clean energy through a number of tactical and strategic interventions including support for cutting edge policy analysis, technical assistance, civil society organisations (CSOs) and new media campaigns, diplomacy, and business innovation. The programme supports regional as well as in-country activities in Indonesia, Vietnam, and Philippines.
Given the size and scale of the program in Indonesia now and continued expected growth in the coming years, IFE seeks to hire a clean energy programme director for Indonesia who can hit the ground running in developing country-led strategies, manage grantees and grantee relationships as well as be the face of the organization in-country with all stakeholders.
Key responsibilities
The Clean Energy Programme Director for Indonesia is a leadership position and requires the possession of strong management and interpersonal skills. The position also requires the ability to establish and maintain cooperative working relationships, deal with difficult issues, and communicate clearly and effectively.
The Clean Energy Programme Director for Indonesia should have the leadership skills to be an effective advocate on climate change issues; should have high energy, a strong work ethic, and the initiative to define and execute new grants.
Education: A master’s degree with related course work in energy, climate policy, business or an associated field would be ideal.
Experience: The ideal candidate would have ten to fifteen years increasingly responsible management experience in administrative management and policy-advisory functions in climate change mitigation or clean energy.
