  • Contribute to business development efforts (concept notes, proposals, project design inputs).
Requirements

Required

  • Bachelor's degree in Sustainability, Environmental Management, Natural Resources, Agriculture, Development Studies, Engineering, or related field.
  • 3–7 years experience managing sustainability or development projects.
  • Strong project management and stakeholder coordination skills.

  • Prior work in agriculture, energy transition, climate adaptation, or resource efficiency.
  • Fluency in English (additional local/regional languages are an advantage).
