Climate & Environmental justice Gender equality and Social inclusion (GESI)
POSITION SUMMARY
The Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) Associate will bring a strong energy sector technical background to support the implementation of “Decarbonizing Indonesia through Biogas,” supporting the project team in embedding GESI across both the Technical Cooperation (TC) and Financial Cooperation (FC) components of the project.

Reporting to the Project Manager, and working closely with GGGI's Indonesia GESI Sr Officer as well as regional and/or global GESI experts, s/he will connect technical understanding of biogas/biomethane production, feedstock supply chains, and renewable energy project development with the project's social inclusion objectives, ensuring GESI considerations are grounded in the realities of how the technology, feedstock supply, and guarantee facility actually operate, rather than treated as a parallel workstream. S/he will work closely with GGGI's HQ GESI and Safeguards specialists’ team, to support the development and implementation of the project's GESI Assessment and Action Plan, ensure compliance with the Donor Safeguards Policy and Exclusion Criteria and GGGI’s Environmental and Social Safeguards Policy, and help design mechanisms that extend the benefits of the guarantee facility to women and community-led micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in feedstock collection.

S/he will also support GESI-related monitoring, reporting and capacity-building activities, including GESI training for the Biogas Guarantee Facility (BGF) fund manager, and will contribute to the project's safeguard screening processes for sub-borrowers financed through the guarantee facility. As part of the Energy team, S/he may also be called on to support broader energy-sector technical inputs and analysis for the team's wider portfolio in Indonesia, as capacity allows.

PURPOSE
The primary objective of this position is to ensure GESI principles and Environmental and Social Safeguards are systematically integrated across the project's technical and financial components, from policy design through to guarantee facility implementation, grounded in a practical, technically informed understanding of the energy sector rather than a purely social-science lens. 

REQUIREMENTS
QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's degree in Energy Policy, Social Sciences, Development Studies, or other related
  • Preferred at least 4 years of relevant working experience in the energy sector, with direct experience integrating gender equality and social inclusion into energy or infrastructure projects.
  • Practical/technical understanding of biogas or bio-CNG
  • Familiarity with gender-responsive approaches to climate finance or green investment is an advantage.
  • Strong interpersonal skills with the ability to engage diverse stakeholders, including government counterparts, fund managers, and community groups.
  • Proficiency in English and Bahasa Indonesia, indicating the ability to speak, read, and write in both languages fluently and accurately, with knowledge and understanding of climate change issues.
  • Experience in conducting administrative and operational support for energy, GESI, or safeguards-related workstreams for government or international organisations.
  • Proven analytical and report-writing skills.
  • Team player with strong organizational and multitasking abilities.
  • High level of cultural sensitivity and adaptability in a diverse working environment.
