ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle the climate crisis, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has society’s best interests at its core.
What you’ll do
ShareAction’s Financial Sector Research team works towards holding financial institutions accountable for their impact on globally important challenges such as tackling climate change, upholding human rights and reversing biodiversity loss.
Asset managers, insurance companies and banks hold a huge amount of influence over the world’s largest companies through their investment and underwriting activities. Our reports rank many of the world’s largest financial institutions on their approach to environmental and social issues, pushing for and facilitating change in the financial sector.
In this role, you will have the opportunity to:
- Lead the delivery of our 2026 benchmark of some of the world’s largest insurance companies (following our 2024 report), using your project management and research skills to ensure timely delivery of a high-quality publication and support the development of junior researchers in the team.
- Coordinate with civil society allies, executing the survey in collaboration with external partners for the first time, as well as continuing to work synergistically with other leading global NGOs.
- Present our work externally and engage with financial institutions, regulators, and industry bodies to provide detailed recommendations for improvement, supporting parallel workstreams on our benchmarks of asset managers and European banks.
Leading a small team of dedicated researchers within the Financial Sector Research team, you will support the Head of the team to ensure delivery of the insurance sector benchmark, one of ShareAction’s key reports ranking financial institutions. This involves organising the team to collect information from institutions and databases, analyse quantitative and qualitative data, produce engaging graphics to communicate results and translate this analysis into actionable steps for financial institutions to take. You would collaborate with teams across ShareAction and strengthen connections with other NGOs and external experts to ensure the rigour of this research.
This is a very exciting time to be joining the team. ShareAction is currently reviewing our strategy for work on the insurance sector, and this role therefore presents an opportunity to help shape the dialogue on how the benchmarks connect with engagement and campaigning expertise in ShareAction to achieve maximum impact.
We are looking for a person with excellent project management and communication skills, experience of research and a passion to make a difference within the financial sector at a challenging and critical time.
This will be a 6-month fixed-term position to cover the leave for an existing role.
What you’ll bring to the team

- Proven ability to manage competing demands and support junior staff members to deliver high-quality work and meet deadlines.
- Strong research experience in one or more of the following areas: economics, finance, sustainability, climate, biodiversity, labour rights, or public health.
- A good understanding of responsible investment and its implications for different types of financial institutions, as well as the current state of play, trends and challenges.
- Line management experience and the ability to motivate and develop a small, dedicated team of driven researchers.
- Proven ability to handle relationships with multiple external stakeholders.
- Any experience programming (ideally in Python) and interest in further developing this expertise.
- Advanced Excel skills.
- Strong communication skills in written and spoken English.
- A passion for the work ShareAction does and for making change happen.
Desirable
- Experience working in or with the finance sector.
- Experience in conducting surveys and/or carrying out qualitative or quantitative research on financial institutions.
- Experience integrating innovative tools into research processes, particularly AI tools.
- Deep subject matter knowledge in climate change, biodiversity, human rights and/or public health.
- Experience of project management in a matrix management environment.
- Experience with Microsoft Office 365, particularly SharePoint.
- Experience with CRM systems, ideally Salesforce.
- Any experience programming (ideally in Python) and interest in further developing this expertise.
