Investor Engagement Systems Intern

About the role

The Amazon Investor Coalition is a non-profit start-up on a mission to increase and improve investments in forest-friendly economic development, and the rule of law, across the Amazon region of South America. The Coalition is an impact finance learning-and-collaboration platform that convenes investors and philanthropists, in partnership with communities, companies, governments, and civil society. Given the critical role of the Amazon ecosystem in mediating the global water and carbon cycles, the Amazon forest and its forest guardians need to be at the heart of the global economic agenda. By helping global markets properly value rainforests, soils, and biodiversity, the Amazon Investor Coalition aims to make forests worth more alive and standing than cut and burned.

The Amazon Investor Coalition seeks a tech-savvy, passionate Investor Engagement Systems Intern. The position will support AIC Directors and the CEO in donor, investor, corporate, and stakeholder relations management. The intern will use the AIC business processes and Salesforce Customer Relations Management system to ensure coordination and streamlined communications across contacts, conduct research to prepare team members with key information, and track follow-through on priority partnership opportunities. The ideal candidate is hyper organized and on a mission to transition the Amazon region away from commodity-driven deforestation and towards an alternative development pathway based on standing forests and flowing rivers.
