Forum for the Future, one of the world’s leading international sustainability organizations with a 30-year track record, works to influence the arc of change towards a just and regenerative future. We inspire change-actors to step up their ambition, stretch their vision and find pathways towards tackling the complex causes of the ecological and social challenges of our time. We partner with business, civil society, government and philanthropy to initiate multi-stakeholder collaborations to drive deep systemic change. We operate as a global team, across four geographies—Americas, UK/Europe, India and Southeast Asia—delivering both international and local projects.

Forum is at an exciting time in its evolution. As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, this role holds the potential to enhance our ability to create deep and lasting impact in Southeast Asia.

We work with people across a spectrum of markets and sectors (including developers, financiers and civil society) on more sustainable ways to produce and deploy renewable energy.
One of the key flagship programs is the Responsible Energy Initiative (REI), a multi-year program working to ensure renewable energy in Asia achieves its full potential and creates value in a way that is ecologically safe, rights-respecting and socially just. It operates in India and in the Philippines.
We are looking to appoint an experienced Programme Communications Manager to lead on the Responsible Energy Initiative (REI) - Philippines program communications efforts. The role will be an active part of both the Forum for the Future’s Southeast Asia team and Forum’s Marketing and Communications team.
