About the role
A B O U T T H E O R A N G E M O V E M E N T
Launched in 2022, the OrangeMovement™ is a global initiative led by IIX Global to integrate gender equality and climate action into financial markets. At its core are Orange Bonds™ — the world's first gender-lens and climate-focused asset class — designed to mobilize US$15 billion in capital markets by 2030 and positively impact 150million women, girls, and gender minorities.
With US$2 billion already mobilized, a new US$1 billion Orange Climate Fund, and a US$10 billion cooperation agreement with the Government of Indonesia, the Movement is entering a pivotal scale-up phase — with an active co-funder base, formalized governance infrastructure, and the Orange Forum as its flagship annual convening. As theMovement matures into a durable, self-sustaining institution, the OM governance and sustainability team is responsible for diversifying revenue throughMembership, Sponsorship, and the Corporate Catalyst Program, while maturing the coalition's governance architecture.
R O L E P U R P O S E
The Senior Associate will be a front-line driver of the Orange Movement's governance and sustainability agenda— originating relationships, converting funder and sponsor conversations into signed commitments, and connecting the dots between what the Orange Movement needs and what the wider IIX universe can offer.
This is a relationship-first role, not a paperwork-first one: someone who can open doors, hold their own in a room of philanthropists, blended-finance investors, and impact allocators, and keep momentum alive even when a deal stalls or a market proves harder than expected.
Reporting to the Senior VicePresident (SVP) - Sustainable Finance, the Senior Associate will be given real latitude to set and chase ambitious targets as the Movement scales — this is a stretch role by design, for someone ready to grow into it.
