Job description

A key pillar of Capital Group’s ESG strategy is to incorporate ESG insights and data into the investment process across asset classes through thematic and company research, proprietary tools and company engagement. Our sector-based ESG Analysts generate impactful ESG research on under-appreciated investment risks and positive investment opportunities, and support our sustainable funds.

“I can succeed as an ESG Analyst at Capital Group.”

As one of our ESG Analysts, you will be responsible for leading ESG research and integration for sectors related to the energy transition, including Oil & Gas. You will determine company suitability for CG’s sustainable funds, establishing and debating your views with senior internal stakeholders including portfolio managers and investment analysts. You will identify, research and monitor ESG issues, and work closely with investment analysts to incorporate ESG insights into their analysis. You will engage companies under your sector coverage, and own proprietary ESG data frameworks.

“I am the person Capital Group is looking for.”

1. You are a curious and thorough analyst, able to deliver timely, frequent and fresh insights into new and emerging sector-specific ESG trends and provide insights into how they will impact the securities in which we invest.

2. You have expertise in the energy transition, such as relevant policies and technologies, and other ESG issues impacting the global Oil & Gas sector. You have an established industry network and an excellent understanding of wider research in the sector.

3. You have a collaborative orientation and can seamlessly partner with investment analysts on ESG research, providing a diverse perspective and additive insights. You excel at clear, concise written and verbal communication to an investment audience.

4. You understand corporate reporting and financial modeling, and how the energy transition will impact companies, sectors and countries in financial terms.

5. You are innovative, bringing new ways to assess ESG performance on key metrics using both conventional and unconventional data. You are rigorous in your analysis to ensure that CG’s proprietary industry frameworks reflect the best insights into ESG materiality.

6. You are skilled at building relationships internally and externally, partnering with ESG analyst peers, other internal teams such as Governance & proxy, and keep an eye to the external environment including NGOs and sustainability reporting groups.

7. You are comfortable conducting company engagements, helping to drive constructive conversations on key ESG issues that help us better understand the companies we invest in.

8. You have at least 5 years of experience focused on understanding how the energy transition impacts companies, markets and investment outlooks.

In addition to a highly competitive base salary, per plan guidelines, restrictions and vesting requirements, you also will be eligible for an individual annual performance bonus, plus Capital’s annual profitability bonus plus a retirement plan where Capital contributes 15% of your eligible earnings.
