Location: Central London
Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 + Performance Bonus + Long-Term Incentives
A role with real influence, not just oversight
This is not a reporting-heavy ESG position where you sit on the sidelines. You will be directly shaping investment decisions, influencing capital allocation, and working alongside senior investment professionals to ensure environmental, social, and governance principles are embedded into the core of every deal, portfolio, and client strategy.
You will be joining a firm that treats ESG as a commercial advantage, not a compliance exercise. The expectation is simple: bring insight, challenge thinking, and elevate how investments are assessed and executed.
What you will be responsible for
You will take ownership of ESG integration across investment activity, ensuring that sustainability considerations are embedded from initial screening through to portfolio monitoring and exit strategies.
You will analyse potential investments through an ESG lens, identifying both risks and opportunities that others may overlook. This includes reviewing company disclosures, assessing governance structures, evaluating environmental impact, and understanding social responsibility within business models.
Working closely with investment teams, you will contribute to due diligence processes, offering ESG insights that directly influence whether deals proceed, how they are structured, and how risks are mitigated.
You will design and refine ESG frameworks used internally, ensuring they align with evolving market expectations and regulatory standards. This includes developing scoring methodologies, impact measurement tools, and reporting structures that are both commercially relevant and technically robust.
A key part of your role will involve engaging with portfolio companies. You will guide leadership teams on improving ESG performance, supporting them in implementing sustainable practices that enhance long-term value.
You will also play a role in client-facing activity, contributing to presentations, investment reports, and strategic discussions where ESG performance and impact are increasingly central to decision-making.
What makes this role different
This position goes beyond policy writing and reporting. You will be embedded within investment activity, working on live opportunities and influencing outcomes in real time.
You will have visibility across a diverse portfolio, gaining exposure to multiple sectors and investment strategies. The role offers a balance of analytical work, strategic input, and stakeholder engagement.
You will be encouraged to challenge assumptions. ESG is evolving rapidly, and the firm is looking for someone who can bring fresh thinking, not just follow established frameworks.
What we are looking for
A strong understanding of ESG principles and how they apply within investment environments. This includes familiarity with areas such as climate risk, governance structures, ethical investing, and sustainability reporting.
Experience in investment analysis, asset management, consulting, or a related field where ESG considerations have been part of decision-making.
The ability to interpret complex data and translate it into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
Confidence in working with senior professionals and contributing to high-level discussions where your input will directly influence investment outcomes.
A commercially minded approach, with the ability to balance sustainability goals alongside financial performance.
Salary and rewards
Base salary between £55,000 and £65,000 depending on experience
Discretionary performance bonus linked to both individual contribution and portfolio success
Long-term incentive scheme aligned with investment performance
Benefits and perks
Hybrid working model available once you have established yourself within the team and understand internal operations
Private healthcare and wellness support, including mental health services
25 days annual leave plus bank holidays, with the option to purchase additional days
Enhanced pension scheme with employer contributions
Annual ESG innovation allowance to support further learning, certifications, or research projects
Access to exclusive industry events, conferences, and networking opportunities
Clear progression pathway into senior ESG leadership or investment strategy roles
Why this opportunity stands out
You will not just be measuring impact, you will be creating it. This is an opportunity to sit at the intersection of sustainability and high-level investment decision-making, where your insights will shape real outcomes.
If you are looking for a role where ESG is taken seriously, where your voice carries weight, and where your work directly influences investment success, this is where you step up.
Apply now to be part of a team redefining how investment and sustainability work together.
