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 Vice President (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.

Revenue Origination & Funder Conversion

  • Own and drive execution: lead origination and conversion of new relationships across Membership, Sponsorship, and the Corporate Catalyst Program — from first conversation to signed commitment.
  • Identify, qualify, and convert sponsorship and funder prospects in close association with the SVP – Sustainable Finance, with particular focus on priority APAC markets.
  • Bring persuasive proposals and confident negotiation to every stage of the funder journey — this is a relationship-first role.

Strategic Connectivity Across the IIX Universe

  • Own and drive execution: see the bigger picture of what the Orange Movement is trying to achieve, and connect it to what the wider IIX universe can offer.
  • Connect Orange Movement priorities to relevant offerings across Sustainable Finance, Strategic Initiatives, Impact & ESG Advisory, and country teams.
  • Speak fluently across the impact investing continuum — philanthropy, blended finance, and impact investing — meeting funders and partners where they are.
  • Represent OM governance and sustainability priorities in cross-functional forums, surfacing new angles for collaboration as the Movement scales.
  • Represent IIX and Orange Movement across key industry events, national and international (as needed).
  • Assist with and run day-to-day operations and administrative architecting to effectively steer the governance and sustainability movement.

Orange Events & Market Growth

  • Own and drive execution: support Orange events planning and drive sponsorship conversion across the annual calendar of Regional Summits and the Global Forum.
  • Assist the SVP – Sustainable Finance, in shaping IIX’s market growth strategy, with a focus on Singapore, India, Japan, Australia, and priority Global North markets.

Governance & Cross-IIX Stewardship

  • Help keep the Steering Committee, Advisory Council, and Working Groups genuinely engaged — regular, high-quality touchpoints rather than administrative upkeep for its own sake.
  • Build close working relationships across the IIX universe to ensure effective, joined-up stewardship of OM governance and sustainability.

Profile

W H A T W E ’ R E L O O K I N G F O R

Experience & Skills

  • 5–7 years of experience in the development sector — mid-level, with genuine program delivery and project management experience.
  • Demonstrated client-origination and funder-conversion skills — comfortable initiating relationships and closing them, not just maintaining them.
  • Experience in an advisory or consulting role, ideally across climate-sensitive and gender-centric sectors and geographies across APAC.
  • Conversant across the impact investing continuum — philanthropy, blended finance, and impact investing — able to adapt the pitch to the audience.
  • Familiar with or willing to learn about ESG compliance/reporting and sustainability mandates.
  • A persuasive writer and confident negotiator, comfortable representing IIX and the Orange Movement in external-facing conversations.
  • Comfort with AI, CRM, and productivity tools to set-up and strengthen operational workflows.
  • Willing to travel about 25% of the time, sometimes internationally for events, partnership meetings, and other stakeholder engagements as deemed necessary.
  • Resilient — able to bounce back from setbacks and keep the mission moving forward.

The Person

  • A natural connector who can do both the day-to-day as well as see the bigger picture of what the Orange Movement is trying to achieve — then translate that into the right offer for the right partner.
  • A door-opener, comfortable initiating conversations with philanthropists, corporate foundations, and impact investors, and turning first meetings into lasting relationships.
  • Ambitious and coachable — ready to stretch into a role that will grow in scope as the Movement scales, and to set and chase targets that go beyond what’s comfortable today.
  • Even-keeled under pressure — treats a stalled deal or a difficult market as a problem to solve, not a reason to slow down.
