• Positively impact 150 million women, girls, and gender minorities.
• Position women and gender minorities as leaders in climate resilience and adaptation.
• The Orange Movement advances this vision through capital mobilization, policy reform, global partnerships, training, and advocacy. With US$2 billion already mobilized and a new US$1 billion Orange Climate Fund anchoring a US$10 billion cooperation agreement with the Government of Indonesia, the Movement is entering a pivotal scale-up phase - with an active co-funder base, formalized governance infrastructure, and the Orange Forum as its flagship annual convening. IIX seeks a Senior Director who can build the Movement into an institution with the financial strength, governance maturity, and operating capability to stand on its own for the long term.
• Role Summary.
• The Senior Director of the Orange Movement will provide strategic vision, entrepreneurial drive, and organizational leadership to build the Movement into a durable, self-sustaining institution - expanding its reach, resources, and financial independence globally. This is a rare opportunity to take a coalition at the intersection of finance, gender, and climate from an IIX-incubated initiative to a mature institution with genuine systems-change potential.
• Own and manage the Orange Movement program, working closely with IIX teams - including Sustainable Finance and the newly established Impact & ESG Advisory - as they execute Orange transactions and related projects.
• Ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the Orange Movement through diversified, multi-year fundraising - spanning co-funders, grants, and catalytic capital.
• Mature the coalition's governance infrastructure into a standard-setting model for stakeholder management, built to operate independently over time.
• Spearhead co-funder cultivation, partnership pipeline development, and multi-year fundraising.

• Strategic Partnerships & Global Alliances.
• Develop and execute a global strategy to expand the Orange Investor Alliance and Partner Coalition.
• Build and own a structured co-funder pipeline - from identification and cultivation through to close and stewardship.
• Engage institutional investors, DFIs, corporates, philanthropies, and governments as strategic allies and co-funders of the Orange Movement's mission.
• Build trust with policymakers, regulators, and multilaterals to embed Orange standards into financial systems.
• Use CRM systems and research tools to maintain a living, high-quality partnerships database.
• Engage the newly established Impact & ESG Advisory as a technical thought partner on measurement, standards, and reporting for Orange instruments.
• Fundraising & Financial Sustainability.
• Own and drive the Orange Movement's co-funder and fundraising strategy - from identification and cultivation through to closing institutional partnerships with foundations, DFIs, and impact investors.
• Mobilize grants and catalytic capital to scale the Movement, targeting US$2M+ in co-funder contributions in Year 1 and scaling year over year, securing multi-year funding commitments alongside IIX senior management.
• Build the Orange Movement's long-term financial sustainability model - including piloting fee-based membership and certification revenue streams - steadily reducing the Movement's reliance on IIX's core platform over time.
• Maintain best-in-class fundraising collateral, funder value propositions, and a structured partnerships pipeline across the co-funder lifecycle.
• Training & Market Building.
• Lead the Orange Capital Verifier Training program and similar certification tracks.
• Expand training offerings for investors, regulators, and issuers to build global confidence in Orange instruments - including blended/digital learning formats.
• Partner with universities, think tanks, and global institutions to mainstream Orange finance education.
• Own the roadmap for establishing the Orange Capital Principles, Orange Seal, and Orange Index as recognized, market-wide reference standards for gender-lens and climate-aligned finance.
• Coalition Governance & Institutional Development.

• Diagnose and address engagement gaps across working groups, including reviving or restructuring underperforming groups as needed.
• Evolve the coalition's governance bodies - Steering Committee, Advisory Council, Working Groups - into a mature structure capable of governing the Movement independently at scale.
• Advocacy, Convenings & Thought Leadership.
• Lead the flagship Orange Forum and other global convenings, owning the partnerships and stakeholder coordination layer.

• Identify and develop opportunities for IIX's research and advisory services to inform national and regional policy frameworks.
• Serve as a trusted liaison between IIX's investment and program teams and government counterparts, enabling market entry, regulatory engagement, and policy-aligned program design.
• Advisory Delivery.
• Lead or co-lead advisory mandates for government and multilateral clients on topics including climate risk finance, trade-linked sustainability, coastal and marine economy development, and green investment policy.
• Design and facilitate high-level workshops, roundtables, and capacity-building programs for government stakeholders.
• Contribute to proposal development and scoping of new advisory engagements, including technical assistance programs, research projects, and policy engagement initiatives.
• Investment Intelligence & Fund Support.
• Produce country, sector, and regulatory research to support investment screening, pipeline development, and due diligence for IIX's climate-focused blended finance work in Southeast Asia.
• Provide thematic analysis on climate resilience, trade dynamics, and blue economy developments that inform IIX's investment thesis and portfolio strategy across the region.
• Assess policy and regulatory risk for active and pipeline investments - including market entry feasibility, enabling environment analysis, and government relations risk - in close coordination with the investment team.
• Monitor policy and regulatory developments across SEA markets and surface timely insights to investment and program colleagues.
• Regional Presence & Collaboration.
