Job Description

A B O U T T H E O R A N G E M O V E M E N T

Launched in 2022, the OrangeMovement™ is a global initiative led by IIX Global to integrate gender equality and climate action into financial markets. At its core are Orange Bonds™ - the world's first gender-lens and climate-focused asset class - designed to mobilize US$15 billion in capital markets by 2030 and positively impact 150million women, girls, and gender minorities.

With US$2 billion already mobilized, a new US$1 billion Orange Climate Fund, and a US$10 billion cooperation agreement with the Government of Indonesia, the Movement is entering a pivotal scale-up phase - with an active co-funder base, formalized governance infrastructure, and the Orange Forum as its flagship annual convening. As theMovement matures into a durable, self-sustaining institution, the OM governance and sustainability team is responsible for diversifying revenue throughMembership, Sponsorship, and the Corporate Catalyst Program, while maturing the coalition's governance architecture.

R O L E P U R P O S E

The Senior Associate will be a front-line driver of the Orange Movement's governance and sustainability agenda- originating relationships, converting funder and sponsor conversations into signed commitments, and connecting the dots between what the Orange Movement needs and what the wider IIX universe can offer.

This is a relationship-first role, not a paperwork-first one: someone who can open doors, hold their own in a room of philanthropists, blended-finance investors, and impact allocators, and keep momentum alive even when a deal stalls or a market proves harder than expected.

Reporting to the Senior VicePresident (SVP) - Sustainable Finance, the Senior Associate will be given real latitude to set and chase ambitious targets as the Movement scales - this is a stretch role by design, for someone ready to grow into it.
