Senior Technical Officer, Finance and Economics for Nature

Position description

While nature supports human development and societal progress, it is being degraded at rapid and unprecedented rates. IUCN helps address this critically urgent challenge by helping mainstream nature into financial and economic decisions, towards transforming investments and actions for valuing the natural world. 

In Asia, IUCN works with diverse stakeholders at various levels and scales in better understanding and influencing: i) how nature contributes to prosperous and equitable societies, ii) how financial flows and economic activities impact biodiversity conservation, and iii) how the private business sector can contribute to more nature-positive outcomes.

The Senior Technical Officer provides expert input to and is responsible for overall coordination of Finance and Economics for Nature, a strategic theme under the IUCN Asia regional programme. He/she helps catalyse multi-disciplinary knowledge and expertise to drive collaborative learning and action by conservation, finance and economic sectors in the region. The Senior Technical Officer serves as IUCN Asia’s focal person for Finance and Economics, enhances relevant capacity of regional team and partners, coordinates and grows the regional portfolio of projects and activities, and engages with Union constituents, partners and donors.
