London, Greater London, United Kingdom Children's Investment Fund Foundation Full time
Main Purpose of the Role

The Children's Investment Fund Foundation's Climate team is driven by a vision of a climate-safe future for today's children and future generations. We support the urgent global transition to a zero-carbon society. Our team is committed to strategies that get to the heart of the greatest climate challenges and are willing to support new approaches to accelerate action and the step-change in ambition required to keep global warming below 1.5 degrees C.

We have a large climate portfolio across a range of sectors and geographies, alongside a track record of supporting global climate policy, governance, and institutions. This role sits in a team also focused on climate issues across climate finance and corporate accountability, and the successful applicant will have exposure to food systems, land use, and climate litigation.

Key Responsibilities

Our Climate Analyst will work alongside senior colleagues to collate and/or conduct analysis and research on specific projects and sector trends in order to support the shaping of strategies and investments related to different sectors such as food systems, land use, and climate litigation. They will also build and maintain a range of relevant knowledge and information resources, to enable the team to access high-quality intelligence, analysis, and data to inform current and future programme activity.

The successful candidate will provide and communicate global, regional, national, and sectoral insights both verbally and in writing, which contribute to the strategy and planning process. They will also undertake other specific research projects required, as directed by members of the team.

Our Climate Analyst will support the Executive Director (ED) and Senior Management Team in the organisation, coordination, documentation, and professional presentation of outputs from the strategy and planning process. They will also assist the team in preparing aspects of the programme strategy and evidence base, working with wider teams and in-country experts.

Programme Development, Delivery & Performance

The successful candidate will work with Programme Directors and Managers in collaborating with grantees to support and shape their delivery strategies, identifying course corrections and opportunities to accelerate impact and supporting the shaping of future plans. They will also support the identification of and embedding of appropriate monitoring and evaluation processes for investments and Missions.

Our Climate Analyst will conduct regular reviews of programme progress to identify problems and delays and implement effective solutions. They will also develop new investments, working with Programme Directors and Managers to identify potential new grantees and new areas of focus in order to achieve CIFF's key missions.

The successful candidate will manage the end-to-end administration of the grants management process (from investment memo through to final payment), suggesting improvements where appropriate, to enable the team to deliver and monitor its philanthropic activity efficiently and effectively.

Ecosystem Development and External Leadership

Our Climate Analyst will support Programme Managers, Directors, and the Partnerships Team in developing and managing collaborations and convenings with other funders, grantees, and partners to strengthen the climate action ecosystem. They will also provide analytical and administrative support to assist in the production and presentation of high-quality thought leadership, PR, and marketing materials for the team, ensuring compliance with corporate branding and communications guidelines.

The successful candidate will maintain accurate and up-to-date records and systems on behalf of the team, to ensure CIFF can take a coordinated and professional approach to managing stakeholders and partners. They will also act as a point of contact for external enquiries about the work of the Sector or requests to partner with CIFF, to ensure these are dealt with in a professional and timely way.

Requirements

We are looking for a highly skilled and experienced Climate Analyst who has a strong understanding of relevant programming in CIFF's priority impact areas. Experience of land use or climate law and litigation is desirable. The successful candidate will demonstrate professional, sound judgement, and be able to think critically, objectively, and strategically.

They will also have strong interpersonal skills, be able to engage with others to get the best out of them, and work well as part of a team. Effective organisational and project management skills are essential, as is the ability to be flexible as priorities and needs change, and work well under pressure.

English is CIFF's business language, and we expect all of our people to display outstanding verbal and written communication skills across all aspects of their role. The successful candidate will also have the capacity to work in a range of cultural and socio-economic contexts, adapting style and approach appropriately and in a culturally sensitive manner to maximise effectiveness.

IT proficiency, particularly in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, is also essential, as is the ability to learn new systems. The successful candidate will be a motivated self-starter, with good initiative and problem-solving skills.
