The world is changing – and so are we. After 50 years, we’re more determined than ever to find solutions to the great environmental threats of our time. As a truly international network, we need our offices in the global South and East – the economic powerhouses of tomorrow – to be as strong as those in the North and West. We need to share more compelling stories of our work, stories that will change attitudes and inspire action. And we need to lead the way for organisations aspiring to work sustainably, with the opening of our ground breaking new Living Planet Centre in Woking. This is your chance to join the world’s leading environmental network as we face our biggest challenges yet.

You’ll provide knowledge and support on issues related to sustainable finance and corporate risk and working strategically to influence financial institutions, corporates, regulators, and / or governments in areas such as low carbon and climate friendly investment, water stewardship and green regulation. A successful track record in the financial services industry, environmental finance or risk management is essential, along with outstanding communication and influencing skills. Additionally, you’ll also need a good understanding of how the sustainability agenda relates to material business risks.
