.Conservation International protects nature for the benefit of humanity. Through science, policy, fieldwork, and finance, we spotlight and secure the most important places in nature for the climate, biodiversity, and for people. With offices in 30 countries and projects in more than 100 countries, Conservation International partners with governments, companies, civil society, Indigenous peoples, and local communities to help people and nature thrive together.POSITION SUMMARYThis position could be based in Bolivia, Brazil (remote), Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guyana, Mexico, Suriname, Peru, or Belgium. In 2020, Conservation International (CI) launched the Global Green-Gray Community of Practice (CoP) to collaborate with practitioners of nature-based solutions to fundamentally transform the engineering and construction industry to design and build with nature – to create the next generation of climate-resilient infrastructure. The CoP serves as a forum for collaboration across the conservation, engineering, finance, and construction sectors to generate and scale green-gray climate adaptation solutions. Green-gray infrastructure combines conservation and/or restoration of ecosystems with the selective use of conventional engineering approaches to provide people with solutions that deliver climate change resilience and adaptation benefits. By blending "green" and "blue" conservation with "gray" engineering techniques, communities can incorporate the benefits of both solutions while, through a hybrid approach, minimizing the limitations of using individually. The CoP has grown to 180+ member organizations and 600+ individuals – representing non-profit, academic, government, and private organizations spanning the globe.The Global Green-Gray Community of Practice Coordinator will be part of a fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic team and will work closely with internal and external partners, including collaborating with CI experts in the Center for Oceans, the Conservation Finance Division, Natural Climate Solutions, and the International Blue Carbon Institute.The Global Green-Gray Community of Practice Coordinator provides administrative, operational, strategic, and project support to expand the Global Green-Gray Community of Practice. This position will provide technical support to the CoP, including building out technical, policy, and innovative finance working groups to further the mission of the CoP. Tasks may encompass supporting the development and management of the CoP including working groups, supporting budget management, and managing a database of individual members and organizations. Additionally, aiding in project start-up activities such as developing trackers, drafting communication materials, managing project documentation through shared platforms, and coordinating calendars, workshops, and meetings are key aspects of this position
