Career

Nexus for Development is offering an exciting opportunity to individuals who wish to make a difference in sustainable development in Asia through serving on its volunteer Board of Directors.

We are on a mission to urgently mobilize carbon and impact finance to scale enterprises in Asia that benefit both people and planet. Leveraging our initial experience with carbon finance, we have evolved over the last decade to identify market gaps and develop appropriate financing solutions for enterprises delivering clean energy, water, waste and agriculture solutions that benefit low-income households, smallholder farmers, women and other underserved communities across Southeast Asia. The impetus that drives these initiatives is our commitment to providing useful, affordable and fair financial products and services to enterprises that are improving people’s lives in the face of poverty and climate change.

We are a team of regional and international experts with diverse backgrounds in finance, engineering, credit analysis, international development, corporate partnerships, marketing, and operations working together to deliver solutions, create value and achieve our mission. We collaborate with a range of global funders and corporate partners to unlock finance for social enterprises. Our work is supported by leading development bodies including UN Women and UN Environment Programme.

The existing Board is composed of leading figures from diverse organizations spanning international development, carbon markets, climate finance and private sector entities.

We are seeking for a Board Chair. As the presiding Board member, the Chair ensures that the relationships are effective and efficient and further the best interests of Nexus. In performing this role, the Chair must work closely with the Executive Director (“ED”) and manage activities of the Board. The Chair, while working closely with the ED, should always retain an independent perspective to best represent the interests of Nexus, members and other stakeholders.

Through debt financing vehicles, Nexus aims to scale locally appropriate technologies that have both climate-positive impacts and social benefits. The diverse enterprises we work with deliver everything from solar mini-grids to clean cooking devices to regenerative farming technologies that improve the lives of their customers. We support these early to growth stage social enterprises by providing affordable, flexible and unsecured debt in the “missing middle”, typically inaccessible to SMEs in emerging markets.
