ESG Credit Analyst - London
This is an exciting opportunity for someone with experience in ESG and looking to make their next step within the Credit space. You'll be passionate about ESG investing and would like to play an integral role in supporting our ESG capability within our Credit function. Our Credit Team represents a large part of our business, currently managing ~120bn USD across multiple investment desks. The role presents an excellent opportunity to work in a strategically important area at an asset manager with ambition and influence. You'll also have a direct role enabling our clients and their investments to adapt to the ESG opportunities and risks they face, including to key issues like climate change. You'll be working alongside other ESG Analysts within a dedicated Credit ESG Team, working closely with our Credit Investment Teams in London, Paris, and Toronto. You'll be responsible to produce high quality and dynamic ESG research to support investment decisions, as well as undertake engagements where needed to generate investment and sustainable outcomes for our clients.
A bit about the job
As part of this role, you'll be expected to:
• Support investment performance through relevant, timely and targeted ESG research
• Support the credit analysts' identification of ESG risks and opportunities at the issuer level through sector level research and collaboration on best practice
• Development of financial models, tools, and sustainability assessment frameworks to support credit analyst/PM teams
• Delivery of credit-specific engagement designed to support the research process and promote ESG change/improvements to support credit-specific investment outcomes
• Support credit integration-related activities
• Assist where needed with client engagement, including meetings or query responses
• Support the wider Credit ESG team in delivering its global objectives
Skills and experience we're looking for
• Proven track record in responsible investment or similar roles.
• Knowledge of the asset management industry and strong understanding of fixed income and bond markets , preferably through hands-on experience
• Finance or sustainability-related degree preferable.
• Business / management qualification preferable. IMC or equivalent, or recognized historic knowledge, experience, or qualification preferable.
• Relevant experience in ESG analysis and process and/or strong analyst background with a preference for fixed income
• Relevant experience in engaging individually and collaboratively with issuers on ESG issues to deliver investment insight and meaningful impact.
• Strong knowledge and understanding global ESG trends, including key stakeholders, investment themes, and ESG policy and regulation.
• Great all-round communicator, able to embed themselves in a team-based culture, demonstrate collaborative behaviours and drive decision making and outcomes.
In this role you'll be 'Certified' under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we'll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we'll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain 'fit and proper' and competent to carry out your role. We'll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
Aviva is for everyone:
We're inclusive and welcome everyone - we want applications from all backgrounds and experiences. Excited but not sure you tick every box? Even if you don't, we would still encourage you to apply. We also consider all forms of flexible working, including part time and job shares.
We flex locations, hours and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you. Most of our people are smart working -spending around 50% of their time in our offices every week - combining the benefits of flexibility, with time together with colleagues.
