Senior Analyst - Domestic Capital Mobilisation (FTC - 12 months)

GSG Impact is a global network of National Partners working to build impact economies that mobilise capital for measurable social and environmental impact. Through its network spanning more than 48 countries, GSG Impact works with governments, investors, regulators, development finance institutions, and ecosystem actors to strengthen the enabling conditions for impact investment and domestic capital mobilisation. 

As part of its Skoll Foundation-supported strategic pivot, GSG Impact is launching a new workstream focused on unlocking domestic institutional capital for impact in emerging markets. The project responds to the growing need for more sustainable and locally anchored approaches to financing impact economies, particularly in the context of declining ODA and shifting global financing dynamics.  

The project will develop practical research, tools, and country-tested guidance to help National Partners and ecosystem actors identify, unlock, and mobilise domestic capital sources, including pension funds, insurance companies, development banks, and sovereign funds. The work will combine market intelligence, country engagement, stakeholder coordination, and practical tool development across multiple emerging markets.
