** - This** **position will be based in one of CI’s offices in South Africa, Johannesburg**

The Project Analyst, Conservation Finance will be responsible for scoping and assessing projects with the aim of catalyzing and supporting the establishment of conservation financing mechanisms that will enable the long-term continuation of programs to protect and restore both terrestrial and ocean ecosystems, promote sustainable and inclusive livelihoods and economies, enhance protected area management, and maintain and increase carbon sequestration. In particular, the position will provide technical support and institutional strengthening to conservation partners in Mozambique and South Africa.

The work includes project management, developing a strategy for investment, managing relationships with stakeholders (including potential investors, project developers, and implementation partners), project pipeline origination and portfolio management, financial analysis/modeling, due diligence, and assisting with investment transactions from origination through to closing. 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.
