Job description

Are you passionate about the burgeoning sustainable finance market, which surpassed $3.7 trillion in total issuances in 2022? Are you keen to play a key role on our award-winning second-party opinion team across the Americas? In doing so, you’d be supporting the allocation of capital to impactful green, social, and sustainability projects. Sound like your dream job?

The Group :

Sustainalytics’ Fixed Income (SFI) Team is a rapidly growing business responsible for bringing sustainable finance products to multi-national corporations, governments, and financial institutions. We are best known for our second-party opinions (SPOs) for green, social, and sustainability bonds and loans, raising capital for sustainable projects and outcomes. Given the rapid growth and sophistication of the sustainable bond market, quantifying environmental and social impact plays a critical role in supporting the credibility and consistency of the use of proceeds. Sustainalytics Impact Reporting complements the SPO product, enabling issuers to report transparently on the impacts of the proceeds of their bonds.

Responsibilities :

As a project team member, you will contribute to Sustainalytics' position as a leading provider of solutions for the sustainable bond and loan market. Key attributes for this role include outstanding writing, research, numerical, and client communication skills. You will work directly with Project Managers on approximately 4-6 ongoing SPO or impact reporting projects simultaneously, alongside other team members. You may eventually manage projects, engage with issuers and underwriters from kickoff to delivery, and coach new team members. Collaboration with the global SFI team is essential to ensure efficient project management and strong team engagement.

Qualifications :

• Passion for sustainability and a demonstrated interest in sustainable finance and green bonds, with a willingness to learn.
• Experience in and understanding of quantifying environmental impacts (e.g., CO2 avoided) of technologies such as renewable energy, green buildings, and clean transportation.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a commercial and client-centric approach. Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-growing industry.
• 2-3+ years of relevant work experience; experience in financial markets, emissions quantification, or corporate consulting is a plus.
• Fluency in English with excellent oral and written communication skills. Proficiency in additional languages like Spanish or French is preferred.
• Attention to detail and accuracy.
• A strong work ethic and eagerness to learn in a fast-paced environment.
• Ability to analyze and interpret data critically.
• Client-focused and entrepreneurial mindset.
• Ability to manage multiple projects across regions.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
• Alignment with Sustainalytics’ mission, vision, and values.
• Experience working with diverse teams.
• Professional report writing skills.
• Degree in business, finance, sustainability, engineering, or related disciplines.

Additional Information :

Morningstar’s hybrid work environment offers remote work options with in-person collaboration at least three days a week. Additional benefits are available to support flexibility. Regardless of location, you will have tools and resources to engage with your global colleagues effectively.
