Summary
The Director of Climate & Market Transformation (CMT) is responsible for advancing WWF-Indonesia’s mission to stop the degradation of the planet’s natural environment and to build a future in which people live in harmony with nature.
This position leads national efforts to transform markets, influence government policy, promote circular economy and waste management solutions, and mobilize multi-sectoral action toward sustainable and climate-resilient development. The Director will guide strategic engagement with government institutions, private sector actors, and communities, ensuring their active participation in achieving nature-positive and zero-waste outcomes across WWF-Indonesia’s priority land and seascapes.
The CMT Program addresses the over-exploitation of Indonesia’s natural resources by influencing three key drivers:
1.Private Sector Engagement:
Drive responsible business practices in key sectors such as finance, consumer goods, forestry (timber, pulp & paper), palm oil, mining, energy, and waste management. This includes facilitating sustainable supply chains, circular economy transitions, ESG adoption, sustainable finance, and constructive corporate dialogue and campaigning when necessary.
2.Government Policy Influence:
Collaborate with ministries and regulatory bodies such as the Ministries of Environment and Forestry, Agriculture, Energy, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and Bank Indonesia to develop, advocate, and implement policies supporting sustainable land use, waste reduction, circular economy, climate resilience, and green economy transitions, in close coordination with the Head of Policy, Advocacy, and Social Inclusion (PASI) to ensure alignment and effectiveness.
3.Community Empowerment:
Support equitable community participation in conservation and resource management, including community-based waste management and recycling initiatives that contribute to circular and low-carbon economies.
This work is grounded in strong communication, applied conservation science, effective advocacy, and active coordination with WWF-Indonesia’s site-based programs to scale impact nationally.
The Director ensures strong integration between national-level policy advocacy and site-based implementation, promoting coherent strategies, shared learning, and measurable conservation impacts.
He/She represents WWF-Indonesia in national and global forums, builds and sustains strategic partnerships, and ensures the CMT Directorate contributes effectively to WWF’s Global Goals (Forests, Oceans, Wildlife, Climate & Energy, Food, and Freshwater) and Plastic Smart Cities and Circular Economy initiatives.
