The CEFC is Australia's specialist climate investor, helping cut emissions in the race towards net zero by 2050. With access to more than $33 billion from the Australian Government, we invest to deliver a positive return for taxpayers. About the opportunity
Join the Clean Energy Finance Corporation as Associate, Portfolio Management and support the management of a portfolio of large-scale clean energy and transmission investments under the Rewiring the Nation (RTN) program.

You will work closely with internal teams and external counterparties to ensure assets are performing in line with expectations, obligations are met, and risks are appropriately managed.
