The Organisation

With a vision of a just and thriving Asia powered by renewable energy, Tara Climate Foundation is a new and rapidly expanding philanthropic initiative focusing on South, Southeast, and East Asia (excluding China and India). The Tara Climate Foundation is headquartered in Singapore with a team spread throughout the region.

Tara plays three main roles: providing grants to a diverse group of climate and energy transition partners; working with local partners to craft compelling strategies for advancing the transition; and the convening of partners within and across borders. Tara provides grants to hundreds of civil society and research organizations, thinktanks, non-state actors, and the private sector across Asia to accelerate a just and clean energy transition.

The Role

This role will build a program to drive corporate renewable energy demand and corporate decarbonisation, leveraging investor strategies and technical analysis coupled with staff engagement, media, public campaigning, and a range of other strategies.

In addition to direct engagement with corporates, you will build and manage new partnerships and scale a grant making program.
