Why join us?

We’re on an exciting journey to transform our Group and the way we’re shaping finance for good. We’re focusing on the future, investing in our technologies, workplaces, and colleagues to make our Group a great place for everyone, make change happen, and challenge the status quo. Sound like you?

What we’re looking for:

• Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex sustainability topics in a clear, engaging, and commercially relevant way.
• Experience leading teams, programmes, or workstreams, taking ownership for delivery, quality, and outcomes while supporting the development of others.

And any experience of these would be great:

• One or more: adaptation and resilience, just transition, nature integration, energy transition, sustainable transport, green buildings, sustainable supply chains, circular economy, sustainable food systems.

We know that great talent comes from many backgrounds. Whilst this advert may reference specific experience, we recognise that skills are developed in different ways, so if you have relevant, transferable experience, we encourage you to apply.

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity, and inclusion, supporting our customers, colleagues, and communities, and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn, and develop. We were one of the first major organizations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer Initiative. We offer reasonable workplace adjustments for colleagues with disabilities, including flexibility in office attendance, location, and working patterns.

And, as a Disability Confident Leader, we guarantee interviews for a fair and proportionate number of applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role with a disability, long-term health, or neurodivergent condition through the Disability Confident Scheme. We provide reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process to reduce or remove barriers. Just let us know what you need.

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
