JOB DESCRIPTION

This role is responsible for the PRI’s stewardship activities on climate change. This primarily involves leading the PRI’s work on Climate Action 100+, one of PRI’s flagship projects and the largest collaborative investor initiative to date. It seeks to ensure the world’s largest corporate greenhouse gas emitters take appropriate action on climate change in order to mitigate financial risk and to maximise the long-term value of assets.
The position also extends to overseeing support to other regional climate stewardship initiatives, as well as guiding the development of potential new ones in key markets.

Join a global and motivated Stewardship team that works to deliver substantial real change in our global economy, society and the environment. Stewardship is one of the most powerful mechanisms by which investors and their agents can contribute to the achievement of the PRI’s mission: the creation of a sustainable financial system which benefits the environment and society as a whole. The role is an exciting opportunity to contribute to work that will encourage and enable PRI signatories to fully realise the potential of stewardship to drive real-world outcomes on climate change.
