In particular, the position will provide technical support and institutional strengthening to both CI and its conservation partners across CI’s Africa priority areas.The role will work in close collaboration with the broader Nature Finance portfolio teams in Africa (including payments for ecosystem services (e.g. carbon, water, biodiversity credits), protected area financing (e.g. trust funds, project finance for permanence), eco-tourism and finance plan development), and will deep dive into investment opportunities identified within conservation-based projects on the ground and get these to an investment-ready stage. Here, the role will require from the successful candidate an in-depth knowledge of project and corporate finance analysis, as well as structuring and deal-making criteria of various financing mechanisms. In addition, the successful candidate will have in-depth and technical experience with cash flow/ financial modelling.

It will require working in close coordination with CI’s global programs to identify opportunities for financed conservation interventions: assessing their feasibility, designing their implementation, proving them out for maximum impact, and scaling them more broadly across CI, partner organizations, and commercial actors.This position does not directly supervise staff.Responsibilities
• Support the CI Structured Nature Finance team with the early-stage identification, due diligence, and design of new potential nature finance opportunities: help to support the initial due diligence and feasibility process (which may include financial modelling to test for feasibility).
• Supporting the development of the Structured Nature Finance (SNF) deal portfolio within Africa: provide analytical and technical support to the CI’s regional team as well as conservation and finance partners to launch private sector linked financing mechanisms and build out the capacity for further sustainable financing deals within this focus area for CI.
• Lead project management of day-to-day activities under the SNF portfolio (coordinating input from more specialized technical experts as needed) and management of overall project delivery. This includes maintenance of project management and delivery systems, contracting / procurement processes, monitoring of external consultancies hired, and representing the SNF team in all project-related meetings/ engagements.
• Work in close collaboration with other Nature Finance technical experts (both internal CI, as well as external consultants and finance sector partners) when it comes to scoping, evaluation, and applying structuring considerations of SNF opportunities.
• Collaborate with Finance, Grants and Contracts, Legal, and other support teams to ensure projects comply with CI policies, donor agreements, and applicable regulatory requirements.
