We provide innovative open-access data, clear metrics, and actionable insights to leading companies, financial institutions, governments and campaigning organisations worldwide.
This role will be at the core of our strategy to influence and enable financial institutions to assess and mitigate their impacts on forests and forest peoples. It will play a key role in finance sector engagement on our two core projects in this space, Aligned Accountability and Trase Finance.
Aligned Accountability will bring together existing data sets on deforestation, working closely with the finance sector and ESG service providers to improve deforestation metrics and related guidance. This can guide more sustainable investment, improve risk management, support due diligence, and enable green product innovation. It builds on our Forest 500 and Trase Finance initiatives, partnering with ZSL SPOTT, AFI and others, with support from the Norwegian Government.
Trase Finance: In partnership with Stockholm Environment Institute and London-based fintech leader Neural Alpha, Trase Finance brings unprecedented transparency to the hundreds of billions of dollars that directly and indirectly finance tropical deforestation each year. The tool enables financial institutions to systematically identify their direct and indirect exposure to deforestation risk, allowing them to improve the sustainability of their portfolios.
Your role will be to coordinate engagement with the finance sector, across these two projects and partnerships. This is a unique opportunity to make practical progress on integrating deforestation into ESG metrics and financial decision making, with the backing of major players in this space. Working across the Aligned Accountability and Trase initiatives you will be part of a leading, multinational, multidisciplinary, and multilingual team of experts. We value diversity, inclusivity and creativity at the core of what we do and we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds to apply.
To be successful in this role, these are the things that will matter the most:
-
Successful track record of engaging with financial institutions or ESG service providers, or experience of working within the financial sector or financial services sector.
-
Understanding of ESG metrics, and relevant data and disclosure initiatives.
-
Communication and interpersonal skills, including the ability to coordinate and influence a wide range of cross-sector partners to dedicate time and take action.
