Headquartered in Amsterdam, with circa 160 people distributed all over the EU, EIT Climate-KIC leads and orchestrates innovation with a community of more than 400. Together we conduct activities in 39 countries. We partner with cities, regions, governments and communities with the highest climate action ambition; providing the framework and expert support to holistically manage the complexity of climate change and deliver accelerated climate action.

EIT Climate-KIC operates as a not-for-profit platform working through public-private partnership, wielding both public and private funding. We consist of 3 Legal entities: a Dutch BV Holding company (for profit) with 14 branches in European jurisdictions, providing grant management, innovation orchestration services, and impact investment advisory owned by a Dutch-based foundation with charity status - Climate-KIC International Foundation - with subsidiaries in the UK.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**

This role combines concrete roles and work under the UNIDO and CATAL1.5ºT projects with general learning and facilitation requirements under the ESV team.

The goal of the UNIDO project is to promote the role of the private sector in accelerating climate adaptation innovation through learning and knowledge management. This project seeks to establish a common platform for learning and knowledge management on adaptation innovation and financing, that will not only strengthen the climate change approaches throughout the LDCF and SCCF portfolios, but it will also support replication of these projects by other private sector actors and improvement of the models and technologies being implemented in each of these projects in new project proposals.

CATAL1.5ºT: Climate-KIC, together with GIZ and with funds from the Green Climate Fund and the German BMZ will support the development of climate entrepreneurial ecosystems in West Africa and Latin America. Over six years, the project will provide on the one side capacity development and technical assistance to local Entrepreneur Support Organisations (local incubators and accelerators) to build climate entrepreneurship capabilities in key areas (measurement of climate impact potential, gender and diversity in entrepreneurship, adaptation and resilience and system thinking/innovation). On the other hand, the project will launch a series of programmes to directly support local climate innovations with the local ESOs. Climathons, city-focused hackathons to ideate around local climate challenges. A Pre-Accelerator, to support very early-stage climate ventures. And an Accelerator, to support seed/growth-stage climate ventures. The programmes will include a broad range of support services for the ventures as well as financial support via (repayable) grants.
