Launched at COP28, the Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC) is an unprecedented global alliance of UN agencies, MDBs, philanthropies, public and private finance initiatives, and capacity-building providers to enhance collaboration and respond to growing requests for sustainable finance capacity-building support from policymakers and financial institutions in emerging markets and developing economies (EMDEs). Since its launch, the Coalition has grown to over 130 organizations working on capacity building, who in the aggregate work with over 5,000 public and private financial institutions, 160 financial centres and exchanges and millions of finance professionals in almost every country in the world.
The GCBC is supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies and led by a small team based between London and New York City.

The role requires a deep commitment to, and expertise in, climate and sustainable finance, capacity building and training, and multilateral collaboration. It will require excellent stakeholder relationships and management skills, and a strong track record of capacity building, education and training in climate finance.

- Support the development of best-practice for Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Frameworks to assess the effectiveness of capacity building delivery and drive continuous improvement.
- Raise the profile of the GCBC, its members, and high-quality resources and programmes by curating and promoting new and engaging content through digital channels, including the creation of new thought leadership products.
- Promote the GCBC through participation in member events, and other relevant capacity building, education and training fora.
Expected skills and experience:
- 10+ years’ global experience in climate and sustainable finance capacity building, education or training, with a strong track record in designing and facilitating capacity building for finance professionals
- Understanding of the public and private financial sector’s capacity building needs, particularly in emerging markets and developing economies
