Job description

About CPI

CPI is an analysis and advisory organization with deep expertise in finance and policy. Our mission is to help governments, businesses, and financial institutions drive economic growth while addressing climate change.

With a team of experts across seven international offices, including a strong presence in emerging markets and developing economies, CPI is a leader in tracking sustainable investment trends, identifying innovative business models, and supporting the solutions that can drive the transition to a low-carbon, climate-resilient, inclusive economy. We are unique in our focus on finance, our ability to get the right people to the table, and our analytical rigor.

About the Program

Coal2Green (C2G) is a technical assistance programme between Indonesia and Germany, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMUKN) through the International Climate Initiative (IKI). The program supports the repurposing of coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) in Indonesia into renewable energy platforms, working across four integrated outputs: technology and solutions, financing and investment, just transition and local stakeholder engagement, and knowledge transfer and capacity building.

C2G is implemented by Guidehouse Germany GmbH as consortium lead, with CPI Global and CPI Indonesia as consortium partners, in coordination with Indonesia’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR), represented by the Directorate General of New, Renewable Energy and Energy Conservation (DGNREEC/DJEBTKE) as Executing Agency.

This role will mainly contribute to C2G’s Output III: Just Transition & Local Stakeholder Engagement. Output III co-develops a just transition framework for CFPP repurposing through inclusive stakeholder engagement, prepared for operationalization at selected Focus Project sites. It comprises three work packages: just transition planning and indicators aligned with Indonesia’s JETP framework, local stakeholder mapping and engagement, and a just transition cost allocation framework that determines how transition-related costs are fairly distributed across government, asset owners, and financiers.

About the Role

CPI Indonesia is seeking an Analyst to support the Just Transition workstream of the C2G program. This position is dedicated primarily to C2G, with approximately 70% of the role’s workload allocated to C2G Output III activities and 30% to CPI Indonesia’s broader Climate and Energy Finance portfolio.

The Analyst will support the development of Just Transition frameworks, indicators, and site-specific plans for Focus Projects; contribute to stakeholder mapping and engagement activities; and support the design and application of the Just Transition Cost Allocation Framework.

The Analyst will work under the supervision of the Country Director and Senior Manager/Analysts, and in close coordination with CPI’s financing workstream (Output II) and the international consortium partner (Guidehouse) on technical (Output I) and capacity building (Output IV) alignment. The Analyst will work closely with government counterparts (MEMR, DGNREEC/DJEBTKE), local communities and worker representatives at Focus Project sites, and civil society organizations.
