Climate-KIC (Knowledge and Innovation Community) is Europe’s foremost climate innovation initiative, entrusted by the European Commission to catalyse transformation through innovation. Headquartered in Amsterdam, with circa 160 people distributed all over the EU, Climate-KIC leads and orchestrates innovation with a community of more than 400. Together we conduct activities in 39 countries. We partner with cities, regions, governments and communities with the highest climate action ambition; providing the framework and expert support to holistically manage the complexity of climate change and deliver accelerated climate action.

Climate-KIC operates as a not-for-profit platform working through public-private partnership, wielding both public and private funding. We consist of 3 Legal entities: a Dutch BV Holding company (for profit) with 14 branches in European jurisdictions, providing grant management, innovation orchestration services, and impact investment advisory owned by a Dutch-based foundation with charity status - Climate-KIC International Foundation. Historically, we have been funded by our founder and core funder, the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT), but we are currently transitioning to a multi-funder model.

**ABOUT THE ROLE**

Climate-KIC is working to make a rapid change to net-zero and climate resilience possible through innovation. A key part of our work is financial innovation, where we help local leaders identify and secure the different types of finance they require (both public and private) to pursue ambitious climate action. We refer to this as finance mobilisation - the work of integrating multiple different financial instruments together to unlock new possibilities.

Our finance mobilisation work is rapidly expanding - it now covers cities, regional adaptation and argi-food. We are looking to add an experienced financial professional to the team to focus on driving forward key deals that will enable us to move further and faster. This role is wide ranging but has a primary focus on fundraising activity that attracts investment into an underlying portfolio of innovative projects and initiatives.

This includes a wide variety of City projects from the Net Zero Cities Capital Hub, six flagship innovation programmes connected to the Ireland Agri-food Deep Demonstration and an emerging portfolio of adaptation finance projects coming from regional areas across Europe. The role is to identify, mobilise, and deploy both grant funding and private investment (venture, corporate and institutional) capital to support the innovation actions.

**Key Responsibilities**
- Deliver carbon footprint (or GHG) assessments for start-ups and their products,
- Train start-ups on how to conduct carbon footprint (or GHG) assessments of their products,
- Facilitation of virtual and in-person workshops on climate impact measurement and assessment methods to build capacities at Entrepreneur Support Organisations (ESOs) and start-ups,

- Application of procedures to validate climate impact claims,
- Support in the development of existing and new climate impact measurement methodologies,
- Managing climate impact metrics of portfolios of start-ups in our various programmes, and
- Producing regular climate impact reports.

**Key Working Relationships**

Internally you will be working mainly with the Entrepreneurship team at Climate
- KIC. Externally your main relationships will be with service providers supporting us to deliver our work as well as Entrepreneur Support Organisations (ESOs) and start-ups spread across the globe.

**ABOUT YOU**

in a systematic and structure way; a can do, get it done today action-oriented person that can help us to
