Today, a company’s value is increasingly reflected not just in its short-term financial performance, but also in its ability to deliver value to multiple stakeholders, including consumers, employees, governments and wider society, as well as its ability to anticipate and manage climate risks. We are looking for professionals with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) diligence and EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) experience, and / or Responsible Investments to join our successful team.

• Excellent problem-solving skills
• Exceptional team player

• Exposure to corporate reporting and/or regulatory reporting on ESG and EHS issues
• Experience in design and implementation of ESG-related initiatives and/or reporting either as an investor or in a corporate environment
• Practical experience and deep understanding of the core elements of ESG and EHS, for instance:
  • Environmental compliance, assessment of environmental and ecological impacts of business operations
  • Health & safety management & compliance
  • Carbon footprint measurement, decarbonization planning, SBTi alignment
  • Climate risk assessment, mitigation and adaptation planning, TCFD reporting
  • Managing sustainability and human rights issues in supply chain
• Professional services / consulting experience: from a management consultancy, corporate finance firm or as an 'internal consultant' in a corporate environment
• Relevant academic and professional qualifications
