The Minnesota Climate Innovation Finance Authority (MN CIFA, our state's "green bank") is hiring its inaugural permanent Executive Director! 🎉 This is an exciting opportunity to lead one of the nation's most well-resourced state-level clean energy finance entities as the indomitable Peter Klein winds down his interim ED role. MN CIFA was created by the Minnesota Legislature in 2023 with a significant capitalization of $45 million in public funding, with the potential for tens of millions more through the federal Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, DOE's Loan Programs Office, and private capital. Importantly, MN CIFA will release its first investment strategy later this year with an explicit commitment to ensure that at least 40 percent of benefits flow to environmental justice communities in Minnesota. If you, or someone you know, are an entrepreneurial individual who can lead powerfully at the intersection of finance, clean energy, and equity, please consider this opportunity. Apply if interested, and help spread the word! 📢 Posting attached here for ease of reference, or go to the "External Applicants" link at https://lnkd.in/daEEXDH5 and search for Job ID 79073.
