JOB DESCRIPTION

The Associate will join the PRI’s Sustainable Financial System (SFS) team, which is based in London and the Euro Zone, and will report to the Head of the team. The Associate will be responsible for carrying out and supporting market-leading research and analysis, project delivery, and engagement with signatories and financial system participants to drive change in the financial system.
The SFS team is a small and innovative team within the PRI’s Sustainable Systems Department. Our team researches and analyses the way in which the interlinkages between investment practices, financial system actors and market structures challenge or prevent the financial system from becoming more sustainable; and we work on projects that identify priority interventions and effective enablers and levers to achieve system change. We work closely with other PRI teams, PRI signatories and stakeholders on both project research and implementation of findings, and we play a key role in supporting the PRI’s strategy to help it achieve its mission.

• Contribute to innovative research and analysis on market practice, structural and regulatory barriers to the sustainability of the financial system and how these impact financial system actors.
• Support the identification of priority interventions and effective change levers for the PRI to champion.
• Support the SFS team’s projects and initiatives, including cross-team working with a range of PRI teams to implement financial system interventions and effective stewardship practices.
• Prepare briefing notes, meeting summaries, presentations, reports and other materials for internal use, including by the Director of Financial System Strategy & Analysis and the Executive Team.
• Support the SFS team’s engagement with key external stakeholders, including with PRI signatories and signatory committees, by providing project management support such as arranging logistics, preparing briefings and presentations, and carrying out follow up actions.
• Work with teams from across the PRI to ensure that the outputs of all work are appropriately disseminated e.g. via emails, policy briefings, reports, webinars and blogs, and ensure the SFS team’s web pages are kept up to date.
• Demonstrate commitment to the values and organisational ambitions of the PRI by staying abreast of organisational and market developments, integrating research and expertise across internal teams and staff interest groups, and through involvement in PRI team-building initiatives and events.
