About Impact Investment Exchange (IIX)
Impact Investment Exchange (IIX) is a pioneer in the global impact investing movement, dedicated to reshaping finance for sustainable development with a focus on gender equality and climate action through capital mobilization and data-based solutions. For over a decade and a half, we've been building the sustainable investing market, from establishing the world's largest crowdfunding platform for impact investing (Impact Partners™), operating award-winning enterprise technical assistance programs, creating innovative financial products such as the Women's Livelihood Bond™ Series, (listed 6 bonds in the public market with zero credit default) and establishing an Impact Institute and Research & Advisory. While we are very deep with our work in Asia, the Pacific, and Africa, our work spans 60 countries globally where we have invested close to $500 million of private-sector capital, positively impacted over 160 million direct and household lives, and avoided over 1.9 million metric tons of carbon and have collected over 90,000+ data points on sustainable micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The base of IIX's work is IIX Values™, an impact verification tech solution measuring investments' social and environmental impact to the last mile, amplifying the voices of the underserved. In 2022, we, along with global partners, launched the Orange Movement™ and, within that, created a new asset class, Orange Bond, to demonstrate the intersectionality of gender equality and climate action and unlock $10 billion in capital markets by 2030, impacting 100 million women, girls, and gender minorities and making them a key player in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts. In 2024, we unveiled our global data hub, IIX Intelligence™, which aggregates, evaluates, and benchmarks data from sustainable MSMEs, offering unparalleled insights into gender diversity, climate action, ESG performance, and community risk management. IIX Intelligence demonstrates with data the importance of MSMEs as a backbone of sustainable development. Numerous accolades, including the Oslo Business for Peace and the UN Global Climate Action Award, have recognized our efforts. Our team's 'PREM' values—passion, resilience, equity, and mavericks—propel our efforts, bringing meaningful change to Global South communities and the 99%.
You will join a highly effective team that will provide you with an un-paralleled hands-on exposure to the Impact Investing and Social Finance space. You thrive in tackling development issues and excel in creating solutions using structured strategies and innovative programs that address the world's most pressing problems, from food security to inclusive finance to clean energy.

When you join IIX, you embark on a rewarding career in which we are heavily invested in your professional development as we will build on your strengths and help you gain new skills with training, coaching, encouragement and guiding you in the right direction guidance. The skills you obtain and the exposure to the rapidly growing impact investing space will be invaluable as you advance in your career. To be a successful member of the IIX team, you should exhibit PREM:
• Passionate: Commitment to social finance and impact investing as a path to unlock society's potential to effect social change is essential for a happy and successful tenure at IIX.
• Resilient: Similar to our enterprises working in emerging markets, our IIX team members have strong mental and emotional fortitude and are able to recover quickly from difficulties or setbacks. We look for people with an adaptable and positive attitude and strong sense of self-worth, which enables them to move forward and continue to strive for their goals even in the face of adversity.
• Equitable: At IIX, we manage toward impact maximization and produce measurable and transparent returns – both social and financial. These results strengthen the ecosystem and transform existing realities by helping impact enterprises magnify their impact and scale. We are fair and impartial in our actions and ensure that we make objective and unbiased decisions based on facts and impact.
• Maverick: While IIX is a seasoned stakeholder in the impact enterprise and impact investing space in Asia, we pride ourselves on creating new opportunities. We look for people with an independent and unorthodox approach to thinking and behaving. If you are someone who is non-conformist, innovative, and independent, often going against the grain, does not like following the crowd and is not afraid to express your own opinions, we want you. Some of our clients include foundations such as the Rockefeller Foundation and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch Foundation, corporations such as Standard Chartered Bank and KKR, international non-profits such as Oxfam and World Vision, multilateral institutions such as the Asian Development Bank, UN Agencies such as UNDP, and government development agencies such as USAID and SIDA.
Example of a typical scope of work:
• Research on national development goals and sustainable development agenda, to identify gaps and
opportunities
• Identify sector and development experts, schedule and conduct interviews to validate gaps per sector and
more broadly for development
• Identify entry points for social entrepreneurship to expedite social progress, with particular attention to
impoverished areas in need of accelerated economic growth
• Synthesize data gathered and gap analysis to produce a well written report for wide distribution to
ecosystem players
• Prepare materials (briefing, handouts, agenda etc.) and assist in coordination for a knowledge sharing
event for ecosystem players to be held upon completion of the report
Requirements:
• At least 3+ years of relevant work experience, and a proven track record of grant writing and program
management.
• Bachelor or Master's Degree in Communications, English or Writing or the equivalent.
• Excellent written and verbal skills with a strong research background.
• Demonstrated technical expertise and professional knowledge in one of IIX's five priority sectors: energy,
agriculture, water, health, and education is preferred.
• Experience in fund-raising and winning advisory assignments
• Field level development work experience, preferably in Asia and the Pacific.
