ShareAction and the global system of finance

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

ShareAction’s Banking Standards team seeks to work with stakeholders such as banks, investors, and NGOs to make sure the banking industry takes responsibility for its impact on people and planet. 

As a Senior Research Officer, you will be responsible for conducting research and analysing banks’ position on climate change and other ESG issues. Together with the Senior Research Manager, you will also contribute to the development of standards against which the banking industry will be assessed going forward.

You will be joining us at an exciting time, when there is rising interest in how banks are addressing climate change risks and fostering the transition to a fairer, cleaner and safer world. This is a rapidly evolving field and we are looking for someone with excellent organisational, research, and interpersonal skills and a passion to make a difference to join our team. 

Key responsibilities:

• Drafting reports and briefings for a range of audiences, including banks, investors, and industry bodies;
• Conducting research on new areas of work and contributing to the development of standards for the banking industry;
• Sharing guidance on research internally and presenting findings to banks and investors on an occasional basis with the support of the banking team;
• Supporting engagement with banks by conducting ad-hoc research and feeding into briefing notes and presentation materials;
• Maintaining an internal database tracking relevant commitments of banks in scope of ShareAction’s banking campaign;
• Contributing to the development of a survey methodology, collecting data, and analysing survey responses for ShareAction’s biennial banking benchmark (see, for example, the 2020 Banking on Low-Carbon Future report);
• Working closely with our communications team to coordinate press and social media around publications;
• Assisting in the submissions of responses to external consultations and taking ownership of consultations in specific areas of expertise;
• Maintaining a thorough understanding of the banking sector and how it is impacted by climate change and other ESG issues;
• Helping members of the banking team to file shareholder resolutions and draft investor letters and AGM questions, and with ad-hoc operational needs.

Please note that this list is not 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

• Proven experience of undertaking research and writing reports for a professional audience;
• Excellent organisational and time management skills, with the ability to work under pressure, plan, and prioritise work effectively and meet deadlines; 
• Excellent analytical skills – the ability to quickly get to grips with new and complex subject areas, assimilate information, pull out the relevant points and communicate them to internal and external audiences; 
• Excellent written and oral communication skills; the ability to present ideas and concepts effectively and persuasively;
• Excellent attention to detail and a commitment to accuracy;
• Advanced knowledge of Microsoft Office applications, particularly Excel and PowerPoint;
• Great team player, willing to help support projects for the banking campaign on an ad-hoc basis, such as the filing of resolutions, and drafting of AGM questions (if needed);  
• Knowledge and interest of climate change.

Desirable

• Fluent in a second European language (Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian and/or Spanish);
• Experience using Eikon or Bloomberg terminal;
• Experience developing and/or managing a database using Microsoft Applications;
• Knowledge and interest in biodiversity and/or other ESG topics that are relevant to banks; 
• Knowledge of Corporate and Investment Banking;
• Experience using social media or speaking to the media for professional purposes;
• Experience working with CRM systems, ideally Salesforce;
• Basic knowledge of data protection regulations/GDPR.
