Job Description

The Bezos Earth Fund is a fast-growing philanthropy dedicated to combating climate change and protecting nature.

Key Responsibilities

The Bezos Earth Fund is seeking an intern to coordinate meetings and convenings, conduct research and analysis, and otherwise support our program in macroeconomics. The position requires an organized researcher to coordinate conferences in the Spring and Fall, schedule subgroup meetings, follow up with subgroup leads and individual teams, and keep various workstreams on schedule through to publication in a Green Macroeconomic Modeling Initiative (GMMI) special issue.
This work will support the GMMI, which the Bezos Earth Fund helped to establish and coordinate for the past 2+ years. The Initiative aims to expand and strengthen the community of practice whose work is used by decision makers in ministries of finance and other similar decision-making entities. The Initiative currently has over 30 teams from around the world with deep expertise in diverse modeling techniques which the Macroeconomist Intern will interact with and learn from.
This position is short term (six months) with potential for extension, and is part time (approximately 20 hours per week). The expected workload will require a little more than half of the time on administrative tasks and the remaining time on data analysis and programmatic work. It will report to the Program Manager & Economist.
Organize the various teams around key workstreams that the steering committee designate.
Schedule multiple meetings across various time zones, often several at once.
Keep a detailed account of the status of the various workstreams in the portfolio and follow up with teams as needed to keep these workstreams running smoothly.
Communicate with teams to ensure good data reporting, including following up with teams that have not submitted data, or who might have other data issues.
Collect and synthesize asymmetric data from multiple sources.
Run simple checks on data submissions to catch any errors that might want attention of the teams, following up with them to confirm the accuracy of their results, and implementing fixes to maintain accuracy of the master dataset.
Coordinate biennial conferences in the Spring and Fall for the GMMI, in collaboration with the steering committee, the program manager, and other partners.
Work directly with the Program Manager & Economist to perform other duties as assigned.

Requirements

Prolonged periods sitting at a desk and working on a computer.
May require extended hours for urgent issues or to meet established deadlines.
Interns are expected to be onsite on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, where they'll have opportunities for mentorship, cross-functional learning, relationship building, shared team experiences, including catered lunches and other staff engagement activities.
Salary: $35/hr
