• Collaborate closely with the national Philanthropy lead to ensure India climate grantmaking aligns with established global and national sustainability priorities.

• Partner with PR and Internal Communications to localize global company messaging, creating accurate and compelling local content for internal and external channels.

3. Advocacy & Ecosystem Support
