About the Role

IIX is seeking an experienced and strategic professional to provide consulting support to the CEO's Office on high-priority Strategic Initiatives. This is a project-based engagement for an intellectually curious, execution-oriented consultant who can work independently to support strategic concept development, organizational planning, and cross-functional execution.

Operating as an extension of the CEO and leadership team, the Consultant will drive strategic initiatives, enable high-quality decision-making through research and analysis, and amplify IIX's voice in the global impact investing space. This is not a traditional support role - it is designed for a self-directed professional who can navigate ambiguity, deliver polished work products with minimal oversight, and switch between diverse project streams.

• Experience across sectors such as climate, infrastructure, development finance, or impact/sustainable finance
• Familiarity with inclusive finance or impact measurement frameworks
• Prior experience in strategy or policy roles within impact-oriented organizations

Engagement Details
