Please note that the deadline is based on Korean Standard Time Zone (KST, UTC+9)_ **INTRODUCTION TO GGGI**: The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) is a treaty-based international, inter-governmental organization dedicated to supporting and promoting strong, inclusive and sustainable economic growth in developing countries and emerging economies. To learn more please visit about GGGI web page. Since 2013, GGGI has supported the Government of Colombia in advancing green growth through strategic partnerships with key national and subnational institutions, including the Ministry of Environment and Sustainable Development, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Ministry of Finance and Public Credit, National Planning Department, and Ministry of Mines and Energy. Over the years, GGGI Colombia has evolved into a portfolio-based country program, delivering projects across multiple thematic areas such as sustainable forestry, solar PV, climate-resilient agriculture, climate action, and green investments. A central component of GGGI’s Colombia portfolio is sustainable finance. GGGI has supported public and private financial sector actors in the development of innovative financial instruments, including green, social, and sustainability bonds; sustainability-linked instruments; debt-for-nature swaps; and green credit and guarantee mechanisms. Since 2017, these efforts have mobilized over USD 10 billion in investment commitments toward NDC and SDG objectives across its member countries. Despite these advances, Colombia continues to face a significant gap between its climate and biodiversity ambitions and the mobilization of green financial flows. Only 2.4% of the national financial portfolio currently qualifies as green finance, and less than 3% of that is allocated to biodiversity. This reflects limited integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks within financial institutions’ regulatory and operational frameworks. To address these gaps, the UK PACT-funded project “Enhancing Climate and Nature Risk Management and Sustainable Finance in Colombia” aims to strengthen the resilience of Colombia’s financial sector to climate, nature, and social risks by advancing the adoption of international standards such as IFRS S1/S2 and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). Two core pillars of the project are to build capacity and provide the elements to enable the design and adoption of environmental and social management systems (ESMS) in various types of financial institutions such as banks, microfinance institutions, insurance companies and specialized funds, and the inclusion of international standards related to climate, nature, social and environment in Colombian financial regulation. Both points are critical to align financial flows with the SDGs and the Paris Agreement by integrating sound ESG risk management practices and incorporating the principles of gender equality, inclusion of people with disabilities and broader social inclusion (GEDSI). The project is implemented in collaboration with strategic partners including the Ministry of Finance, Financial Superintendency of Colombia, Asobancaria, Asomicrofinanzas, Fasecolda, and the Fondo Nacional de Garantías (FNG). It combines technical assistance, regulatory support, capacity building, pilot disclosures, and the facilitation of multi-stakeholder governance. In this context, GGGI is seeking an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) Officer to lead the technical design and implementation of ESMS frameworks tailored to Colombia’s financial sector and support the inclusion of international standards related to climate, nature, social and environment in Colombian financial regulation. The Officer will play a critical role in bridging regulatory and operational gaps and supporting institutions in building ESG risk management systems aligned with international best practices. ***: As part of the UK PACT-funded project “Enhancing Climate and Nature Risk Management and Sustainable Finance in Colombia,” the ESMS Officer will contribute to building institutional capacity, integrating climate-, nature-, and GEDSI-related risks into financial risk management frameworks, and aligning internal systems with international standards such as IFRS S1/S2 and TNFD. The Officer will also support the inclusion of the previously mentioned standards in the country's financial regulations. The Officer, under the supervision and coordination of the Senior Officer for Sustainable Finance, will have a direct relationship with both regulators and financial intermediaries. With regulators, the Officer will be responsible for reviewing national regulations and identifying the most appropriate pathways to incorporate TNFD and IFRS S1/S2 standards. In relation to financial institutions, the Officer will contribute to the development of technical content and training materials for the design and implementation of Environmental and S
