Project Manager, Climate Resilience
Help drive Europe's transition to sustainable and climate-resilient infrastructure
Do you want to contribute to a future where cities and regions can finance and implement real climate solutions? At the Global Infrastructure Basel Foundation (GIB), we bring together partners across Europe to make infrastructure more sustainable, inclusive, and nature-positive.
We're looking for a motivated Project Manager to join our Basel team and support our work on Horizon Europe and international projects focused on sustainable investment, resilience, and innovation.
About GIB
GIB is a Swiss foundation based in Basel, working towards a world where investments in social, economic, and physical infrastructure lead to inclusive, sustainable, and resilient communities and ecosystems. We work closely with municipalities, regions, investors, and international partners to bridge the gap between project ideas and real, bankable sustainable infrastructure.
What you'll do
As Project Manager for Climate Resilience, you'll play a key role in ensuring GIB's contribution to European research and innovation projects runs smoothly and with impact. In this role, you will:
* Coordinate GIB's activities across several Horizon Europe projects.
* Liaise with internal teams and partners to align objectives and ensure successful delivery.
* Monitor and manage project budgets, timelines, and reporting.
* Prepare high-quality deliverables, progress reports, and communication outputs.
* Organise and attend meetings, workshops, and events with international partners.
* Support the development of new project ideas and proposals within GIB's Infrastructure & Nature team.
What you bring
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage effectively with diverse stakeholders (partners, funders, research institutions, and communities).
* An advanced university degree in a relevant field (e.g. economics, finance, sustainable development, or related; project management qualifications are an asset).
* Excellent oral and written English.
* At least 2 years of professional experience in project management, ideally with EU-funded projects (e.g. Horizon Europe).
* Strong organisational and problem-solving skills; able to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines.
* Knowledge of Nature-based Solutions (e.g. water management, wildfire mitigation, urban greening, sustainable agriculture) is an asset.
* Understanding of public and emerging financing approaches is an advantage.
Who you are
You are curious, collaborative, and committed to quality. You thrive in an international, purpose-driven environment where teamwork and initiative go hand in hand. You bring energy, adaptability, and attention to detail — and share our belief that good infrastructure can improve lives.
Why join GIB
At GIB, you'll find a diverse, supportive, and mission-driven team; opportunities to work on pioneering projects with real impact; a collaborative, international work culture based in the heart of Basel; and flexible working arrangements in a purpose-driven environment. We believe great ideas come from everywhere and strongly encourage individuals of all genders, ages, and backgrounds — including persons with disabilities — to apply.
