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 policy and investment, working with institutions such as 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’s country program has evolved into a robust, portfolio-based platform covering areas such as sustainable forestry, solar PV, climate-resilient agriculture, green investment, and climate action. Within this broader portfolio, GGGI has developed a rapidly growing sustainable finance practice. It supports public and private sector financial actors in structuring innovative green, social, and sustainability bonds, sustainability-linked instruments, debt-for-nature swaps, green credit and guarantee mechanisms. Since 2017, GGGI has mobilized over USD 10 billion in investment commitments aligned with NDC and SDG objectives across its member countries. Despite Colombia’s progress in developing regulatory frameworks and setting ambitious NDC targets, a major gap remains between its climate ambitions and the mobilization of green finance. Currently, only 2.4% of the country’s financial portfolio qualifies as green, and less than 3% of that is directed toward biodiversity. This gap is compounded by limited institutional capacity to adopt international sustainability standards, such as IFRS S1/S2 and the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). To address this, the UK PACT-funded project “Enhancing Climate and Nature Risk Management and Sustainable Finance in Colombia” will deliver a comprehensive national training and knowledge-sharing program. The initiative aims to strengthen the technical capacity of over 300 stakeholders from the financial sector — including development banks, commercial banks, microfinance institutions, insurers, and regulatory agencies — in the adoption of environmental and social risk management systems and sustainability standards. The Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building Senior Associate will play a key role in designing and delivering this program. The Senior Associate will develop technical training content, coordinate learning and co-creation processes across stakeholder groups, and lead the dissemination of practical guidance through platforms such as the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) and the Global Coalition on Capacity Building. ***: The Senior Associate will support the implementation of a national training program to strengthen technical knowledge on climate, environment, social and nature-related risk management, GEDSI integration, and international sustainability standards such as IFRS S1/S2 and TNFD. The role involves coordinating with financial associations, regulatory agencies, and public/private financial institutions to identify capacity gaps, design tailored learning content, lead training and co-creation sessions, and disseminate materials through global platforms such as the Green Growth Knowledge Platform (GGKP) and the Global Coalition on Capacity Building. The Senior Associate will also ensure that GEDSI principles are integrated across all knowledge products and outreach processes. ***: **PURPOSE**: - Based in Bogotá, the Knowledge Sharing and Capacity Building Senior Associate will play a central role in designing and delivering learning and capacity-building activities under the UK PACT-funded project “Enhancing Climate and Nature Risk Management and Sustainable Finance in Colombia.” - This is a knowledge centered and stakeholder facing role, contributing to broader institutional change by strengthening Colombia’s financial sector capabilities to respond to climate, nature, and social risk. - Lead a knowledge-driven and stakeholder-oriented agenda that strengthens the capacity of Colombia’s financial sector to effectively address climate, nature, and social risks, thereby contributing to systemic and institutional transformation aligned with sustainable development goals. **ENGAGEMENT**: - The Senior Associate will report directly to the Sustainable Finance Senior Officer. - Coordinate closely with financial associations (Asobancaria, Asomicrofinanzas, Fasecolda, Banco de las Oportunidades) the development of relevant training content. - Engage with public institutions and regulatory actors to align capacity-building efforts with national policy goals. - Work with project stakeholders to co-design inclusive learning strategies and outreach plans. - Participate in multi
