The successful candidate will place significant value on the rewards that come from doing something about climate change that is practical and effective.
The CD manages the overall city program, including planning, budgeting, relationships with the government and other key stakeholders, implementation, monitoring and reporting, and expectation management.
The CD also determines when specialized expertise needs to be made available within the city, and coordinates with the appropriate staff of the Foundation worldwide to ensure delivery. As the ambassador of the Foundation in a city, the CD ensures that all actions of the city team are consistent with the Foundation's values, and continually strives to strengthen the mutual respect between the Foundation and government.
Preferred Experience

Finance Associate - NY, London or ?
The CCI is working with the 40 largest cities in the world to make their greenhouse gas reduction more commercially viable. This is targeted on reducing the costs of climate change action by cities across the areas of the built environment, transport, waste and water.
A main focus of the CCI are the opportunities for financing solutions and the engagement of all forms of major financial institutions (commercial banks, investment banks, sponsors, hedge funds, multilateral agencies and specialist finance such as carbon finance) in these actions. In many cases there are actions that can be taken to reduce GHG emissions where those actions are already value-creating under today’s incentive structures. Being able to represent this pool of the world’s largest cities (with a population of 350m+) allows the CCI to structure more attractive transactions than has been possible up to this point. A first example of the work that our finance-focused team has produced is the recently announced Energy Efficiency Retrofit Program. In the EERP the CCI has brought together 5 global financial institutions (JP Morgan, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Citigroup and ABN Amro), four of the largest players in the ESCO industry (Siemens, Johnson Controls, Honeywell and Trane) and 16 of our cities to structure an initial program of $5bn of value-creating energy efficiency retrofits to municipal buildings in these cities. The initial $5bn will be a small start as the cities spread incentives to this work to private sector owners, operators and tenants.
The successful candidates will work with this team to develop and implement similar financing transactions across all the cities and areas where we work, and will create financing vehicles and structures that have not been applied to climate change before. These will integrate traditional and carbon finance.
The ideal candidates will have excelled in the analyst training program of a major investment bank or financially-focused management consultancy, and have strong modeling, presentation and communication skills. No specific industry skills are required, but it will be an advantage to have experience in or knowledge of any of the following: energy markets, real estate, transport, waste, water and other utilities, option pricing and carbon finance. Fluency in a second language is again not a requirement but will be a great advantage given that our 40 cities are located in 32 countries on 6 continents.
SALARY: $60,000 pa
