Ecosystem Facilitator (Collaboration Coordination And Partnership)

About the Organisation Asia Community Foundation (ACF) is the first Asia-wide platform for collaborative and strategic giving. ACF enables donors to pool resources, co-create solutions, and drive positive social and environmental impact across the region. Through donor-advised funds, impact funds, and bespoke giving vehicles, ACF helps philanthropists give with confidence, transparency, and impact. ACF has recently launched Shared Impact Philanthropy (ShIP), a new regional offering that will make it easier for funders and nonprofits to work together, providing shared systems, hosting, and operational support so partners can focus on what really matters: driving impact across Asia. This is the work of putting good intention into action. Helping to incubate transformative solutions and turn ideas into results. It’s about building what doesn’t yet exist: new systems, new partnerships, new ways of enabling philanthropy to flourish. Role Overview (Contract Role) Reporting to the Programme Director, this Singapore-based position will play a key role in facilitating a climate-focused coordination initiative hosted within ShIP, helping to convene and nurture the regional climate funder ecosystem across Asia in service of community-rooted climate action. Working closely with the ACF Singapore team, the role will cultivate and sustain strategic relationships with funders, intermediaries, and ecosystem partners; catalyze regional collaboration through grants, joint initiatives, and cross-sector partnerships; and enhance coordination, alignment, and collective action across a diverse network of stakeholders to advance shared impact in Asia. This position is suited to someone who is trusted across boundaries, moves fluidly between strategic conversations and relational work, and brings a genuine feel for how the Asian philanthropic and civil society ecosystem functions and how it could function better.

Support continuity and momentum across conversations, convenings, and partnerships, while contributing to the development of Asia-led ways of working that reflect the region’s relationship dynamics, trust-building norms, and decision-making rhythms. 3. Portfolio Management (Programmes, Initiatives & Grants) Lead the development and delivery of a complex and evolving portfolio of grants, projects, and collaborative initiatives across the region. Oversee portfolio coordination, grant and project management, partner engagement, and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (M&E) processes to ensure programmes remain adaptive, responsive, and strategically aligned. The role also includes identifying ecosystem gaps where new collective initiatives are needed and supporting the design, resourcing, and incubation of enabling structures to sustain them over time. 4. Strategic Problem-Solving & Innovation Apply creativity, judgment, and systems thinking to navigate complex challenges and emerging opportunities within a dynamic regional landscape. Lead the incubation of new initiatives, develop enabling structures and collaborative pathways, and design practical responses to evolving ecosystem needs and strategic priorities.
