Our Financial Services Climate and Sustainability practice are looking for an experienced Consultant with Asset Management and/or Asset Owner expertise to join the team.

Over the last five years, we have supported over £200bn of investment in the transition to net zero, creating decarbonisation pathways covering 250 million tonnes of emissions. We pride ourselves on delivering solutions that are deeply informed by our understanding of the asset management industry, helping clients meet their sustainability commitments and maintaining their business objectives.

Our team comprises industry specialists in climate and sustainability, with backgrounds in leading asset managers, financial institutions, regulators, and think tanks. Our clients trust Baringa to solve complex challenges with expertise and a pragmatic, collaborative approach.

Our work is market-leading, shaping industry responses to climate change and global transition. We authored the Transition Plan Taskforce (TPT) guidance for asset managers and asset owners, recognized as the gold standard for transition planning. We also develop tailored strategies to help clients achieve their transition goals practically.

• Providing expertise in regulatory compliance, including CSRD, SFDR, SDR, and others, supporting sustainable fund development that meets market demands.
• Guiding on sustainability reporting and disclosures, enhancing transparency and aligning with evolving stakeholder and regulatory expectations.
• Sharing knowledge and best practices internally, leveraging Baringa’s insights and methodologies to deliver exceptional outcomes.

Your skills and experience

• Understanding of asset management and asset owner sectors, including their models, processes, and transition challenges.
• Knowledge of sustainability regulations and frameworks like CSRD, SFDR, SDR, and the EU Taxonomy.
• Experience with sustainable funds, including classification and design under SFDR, and portfolio alignment challenges.
• Project delivery experience, managing timelines, stakeholders, and outputs successfully.
• Practical exposure within asset management or asset owner industries is preferred.
• Ability to translate complex regulatory and sustainability requirements into actionable strategies.
• Client engagement skills, building trusted relationships through clear communication and tailored solutions.
• Relevant qualifications such as CFA, IMC, or similar are advantageous.
