Senior Sustainable Finance & Engagement Manager

The Finance for Biodiversity Foundation is a non-profit organization aiming to support a call to action and collaboration between financial institutions worldwide on biodiversity. Our community has grown from 26 financial institutions launching the Finance for Biodiversity Pledge last year to 75 signatory financial institutions from 17 countries this year.

Working groups

The Foundation is hosting 3 very active working groups for 38 members on engagement with companies, impact assessment and public policy advocacy in which members like AXA IM, Aviva, Amundi, Federated Hermes - International, Fidelity International, Manulife, and Rabobank exchange knowledge, share best practices and collaborate on actions like the establishment of a Nature Action 100 program or advocacy towards CBD COP15. Each working group is co-chaired by a member financial institution. Next year we would like to expand with at least one more working group(s).

Our global community is growing fast and we therefore are very keen to expand to regions such as Asia-Pacific, Africa, South and Latin America and North America.

Location: Our work is conducted around the globe, and we therefore work mainly online/remotely.

Hours: You would work between 28 and 36 hours per week.
