About the Role
The world is shifting from fossil fuels to renewable energy. To help shape Tara Climate Foundation’s strategy and support our partners across Asia, we need to gather, interpret and use a wide range of data on the clean energy transition. This is the role of the Senior Data & Impact Officer.
We are looking for a highly capable analyst with strong knowledge of the energy transition, excellent data interpretation and communication skills, and a deep commitment to climate action. This role requires someone who can work with detailed datasets while also understanding what the numbers mean for strategy, policy, infrastructure, and real-world decarbonisation pathways.
The successful candidate will be able to understand and interpret data across areas such as electricity generation, power sector planning, renewable and fossil fuel energy infrastructure, greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, industrial decarbonisation, finance flows and policy change. They will not only capture and manage data, but also ask the right questions of it: what is changing, what is not changing, where progress is evidenced, where there are gaps, and what this means for Tara’s programs and partners.


You will excel at gathering, analysing and interpreting data, and at turning complex evidence into insights for senior leadership, program teams, and funders. You will be comfortable moving between quantitative analysis, interpretation and communication. You will also bring the curiosity and motivation of someone who follows energy transition developments closely and enjoys making sense of technical and policy-oriented information.


You will also apply your analytical skills to Tara’s internal organisational data, supporting monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) that help us assess progress towards our long-term strategic goals and annual objectives across geographies and sectors.


You will work closely with program teams across Asia, support Tara’s programs and data-focused partners and grantees, and contribute to the development of shared data resources, insights and narratives that strengthen climate and energy strategies across the region.
