Nature Finance Manager (Landscapes) (Code: NF-M)

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.

Lead coordination and regular communication internally and externally to accelerate project delivery.
• Resource Mobilization: Support the design and development of funding proposals and other fundraising materials to support landscape financing plans and strategies. In coordination with partnerships teams, cultivate and manage relationships with key donors and partners.
• Strategic Stakeholder Engagement: Lead engagement with senior leadership, and external stakeholders including government officials, current and prospective funders, and industry and financial sector institutions around KI nature financing initiatives.
