8+ years of relevant professional experience in climate action, coastal & ocean resilience, public policy, sustainability, development, partnerships, programme management, or related domains.
Demonstrated experience engaging with government departments, development partners, academic institutions, civil society organisations, and other ecosystem stakeholders.
Experience in business development, including familiarity with government procurement, tendering, and proposal development processes.
Strong partnership-building and relationship-management skills, with the ability to identify and develop strategic collaboration opportunities.
Exposure to one or more domains such as climate action, coastal & ocean resilience, climate resilience, climate finance, disaster risk reduction (DRR), public policy, governance, data and AI for public good, or related sectors.
