Senior Manager, Communications About the client Arthan
is conducting this search in confidence on behalf of a client: a
leading climate organisation working across Asia on the
philanthropic ecosystem, climate resilience and systems change. It
works with funders, civil society organisations and institutions to
move climate action from commitment to delivery, and it is building
the platforms that will shape how the region's climate capital,
talent and ideas connect. The client's name is shared only with
shortlisted candidates. The role Asia's climate decade will be
shaped by who tells its story well. As Senior Manager,
Communications, you will be the strategist and the voice behind a

intelligence platform that funders and institutions will turn to
for an independent view of where climate capital is going. You will
set the narrative, build the brands and earn the trust of audiences
who are hard to impress. This is a builder's role in a lean,
AI-first team: you set the strategy, and you also write the post,
