The world’s largest fossil fuel producers are already on track to produce more than twice the amount of coal, oil and gas than can ever be burned if we are to hit our climate targets. The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative is a campaign and diplomatic initiative that champions a new international mechanism to complement the Paris Agreement, one that would address the structural barriers to the transition and provide a clear plan for the phase out of fossil fuels with equity at the core. The Government of Colombia is hosting a conference focused on the transition from fossil fuels, bringing together governments, policymakers, researchers, and climate advocates to explore pathways toward sustainable energy futures. To support this critical convening and maximize its impact, we are seeking an experienced Partner Sponsorship Consultant to develop and implement a comprehensive corporate partnership program.

Reporting to the Development Director and working with the campaign and partnership teams, this consultant will design and execute a partner sponsorship strategy that secures financial and in-kind support from corporations aligned with the conference's mission, while building meaningful partnerships that enhance the event's quality and reach.
