Analyst, Nature and Climate Finance

The Analyst supports the efficient and effective financial management of donor resources entrusted to the Bank to advance climate change and environmental objectives. The Analyst analyses financial information and provides solutions to a wide spectrum of financial issues, manages donor funds, provides financial advice, and coordinates periodic and annual financial reports.

Using donor finance in a disciplined manner is integral to the Bank’s business model and is a key enabler of its strategic goals. The Bank must meet donor expectations to maintain continued support. The need for collective, urgent and ambitious action on climate has never been greater. Under its Strategic and Capital Framework 2026‑2030, the EBRD reaffirms its commitment to supporting a green economy transition and mobilising private capital at scale, including through innovative blended finance structures.

EBRD works with some 50 multilateral and bilateral donors, with about 50% of the Bank’s investments drawing on donor support. The Green Partnerships team manages a portfolio close to USD 3 billion and collaborates with partners across three continents to advance climate and environmental action.
