It is said that “money makes the world go around” but the global financial system in its current form is in danger of making our world a very inhospitable place indeed for future generations.

Though it has lifted many out of poverty, today the global financial system has an oversized impact on many of the existential challenges we face. Biodiversity loss is such an example, as is climate change and the growing gap between rich and poor in terms of both income and health. Investment, lending and insuring decisions can enable destructive and exploitative industries or they can support a transition to a more sustainable way of living and use of precious resources. The latter approach is known as responsible or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment.

ShareAction’s vision is of a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. Our mission is to define the highest standards of responsible investment and to drive change until these standards are adopted worldwide. We work towards our mission by:

• advocating for change in the investment industry using our research and rankings
• campaigning with allies to strengthen investor stewardship and change corporate behaviour
• pushing for public policy reform to transform the financial system

Position

We are looking for a Research and Engagement Manager to join our growing Financial Sector Strategies (FSS) team. Our team works towards holding financial institutions accountable for their impacts on people and planet by (1) researching the sector’s current performance and regularly publishing surveys, and by (2) engaging with each surveyed institution and providing them with detailed recommendations for improvement.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is keen on scaling up this area of work, with a particular focus on assessing the impact of the investor-led project Climate Action 100+ (CA100+).

Key responsibilities:

• Analyse and monitor CA100+ members’ engagement practices on climate change and related reporting, as well as the general structure of the investor initiative;
• Create and write reports based on the research and analysis carried out, including recommended next steps;
• Research sustainable finance practices and create a ‘best practice’ template for climate engagement reporting, with support from the wider team;
• Engage closely with CA100+ members and other internal and external stakeholders, including the ShareAction Communications team, to promote our findings and the reporting template;
• Provide general support to the Financial Sector Strategies team in raising the bar for responsible investment.

Please note that this list isn’t exhaustive and the role might change slightly from time to time.

Requirements

We are looking for a passionate, determined individual, with the following experience and skills:

ESSENTIAL

• Experience either working in the finance industry or corporate campaigning;
• A good understanding of responsible investment and its implications for different types of financial institutions (particularly asset managers and asset owners);
• Experience of managing relationships with external stakeholders;
• Good analytical skills and attention to detail;
• Negotiation and influencing skills;
• Strong communication skills in written and spoken English;
• A passion for the work ShareAction does and for making change happen;
• Excellent organisational and project management skills, proven ability to manage competing demands while still meeting deadlines;
• Good working knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, particularly Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

DESIRABLE

• Subject matter knowledge in climate change;
• Advanced Excel skills, especially when using Excel to create reports and collect data;
• Knowledge and experience of how to conduct internet research;
• Experience of working with Microsoft Office 365, particularly SharePoint;
• Experience of working with CRM systems, ideally Salesforce.

Other information

Hours: Full-time, but with some flexibility possible.

Contract type: One year with possibility of extension

Salary: £32,000- £38,500 + 8% pension contribution (non-contributory) and benefits including a healthcare scheme.

Closing date: Wednesday 28 April 2021 (9.00am).

Oxford Wood Recycling (OWR) works with some of the most disadvantaged members of our community who see employment as an integral part of developing their potential but face barriers to accessing work. Over the past few months we’ve carried out a thorough review of our employability service with the ambition of re-designing a service that plays to our strengths as a supportive workplace whilst delivering an excellent service for work placement participants, resulting in social impact for our community. We believe the secret lies in the careful matching of individuals and their work aspirations with the available activities and direct and indirect support network within OWR at a given time.

The Employment Support Worker at OWR will use their skills and professional experience to recruit for work placements and, using some existing assets, to design, manage and evaluate bespoke programmes for those individuals. We envisage working with 5 placements during any given week on programmes of approximately 12 weeks.

We would love to meet you if you are a resourceful, enthusiastic, motivated person who is experienced and passionate in supporting individuals to realise their potential. You will have the skills of working in coaching, mentoring or employment/recruitment with people of working age facing significant barriers to employment, perhaps in the form of Supported Employment schemes or Intensive Personalised Employment Support (IPES). You will be familiar with current government work programmes and have a basic understanding of benefits such as Universal Credit, Access to Work and work allowances. 

The role is fixed term for 24 months, with further investment funding and contracting to be sought by Trustees and a determination by the Board of Trustees to make the Employment Support function permanent at OWR.

Application deadline 5pm Wednesday 21st  April 2021.
