The Senior Advisor, NDC Specialist, will work closely with the Head of Secretariat, the BOGA Fund Manager, and the Secretariat team to support BOGA members and friends in delivering NDCs that accelerate the phase-out of oil and gas production; work with BOGA members and partners to develop guidance on integrating just transitions away from oil and gas in the next round of NDCs; and support the design and delivery of NDC-related programs under the BOGA Fund.
Candidates should have at least 8 years of relevant experience, with a strong understanding of international financial institutions and the global economy, and a solid track record of delivering policy dialogues and practical interventions relating to climate risk and/or energy transition. The successful candidate will demonstrate:
experience working directly with governments and development finance institutions, including in-country work in oil and gas-dependent economies;
strong track record of working within/with governments to develop NDCs and long-term strategies under the UNFCCC;
experience designing and coordinating funding proposals and raising donor resources for climate and energy transition-related assistance;
a track record of managing consultants and delivery partners, and supporting the delivery of timely and high-quality analysis, dialogues, and technical assistance;
strong expertise in project management, including designing, planning, coordinating, and delivering large-scale donor-funded projects;
experience designing and implementing monitoring, evaluation, and impact strategies, including the ability to proactively identify and manage risks;
strong communication skills, including the ability to draw lessons from data and dialogues and draft clear technical guidance and policy briefs.
The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, with the ability to deliver against tight deadlines, and to plan and organize work with minimal supervision, in a logical and efficient manner. They will be a team player, comfortable working within a growing team in an evolving role.
