POSITION SUMMARY
The Senior Portfolio Manager (PM) is at the core of the Fund’s subject matter expertise and is the primary point of contact between the Fund, the technical experts within and outside of Conservation International, project proponents, and internal Deal/Regional Leads. The PM oversees the pipeline and portfolio development process, including project selection processes, appraisal, and development, and ensures technical alignment with other carbon finance divisions within CI.
The NCS Fund team is dynamic and fast-moving, with the ambition to tap the deep knowledge and technical expertise within Conservation International, to catalyze gigatons of emission reductions in the

The Fund team will prioritize impact through community engagement, biodiversity, safeguards, and high-quality carbon credits, as well as through projects in “Irrecoverable Carbon” and biodiversity hotspots. Each member of the Fund team plays a critical role in making this impact mission a success.
This position may oversee staff as the team continues to grow.
