WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING: The ESG Research Analyst will develop and improve corporate ESG scoring models and assessment tools, and co-author high-profile thematic publications on ESG and sustainability.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING: Candidates should bring a passion for sustainability, ESG analysis, and experience or strong curiosity in research within an investment context. Strong communication skills, enabling effective engagement with clients and collaborators, are highly valued.

• Ideally, bring 2+ years of experience in quantitative and qualitative ESG research; experience in an investment context is preferred but not required.
• Ability to effectively engage collaborators with varying demands – both internal (e.g. operations and technology teams) and external (e.g. clients, standard setters, and regulators).
• Strong analytical skills are crucial; proficiency in Python or similar tools is highly desirable, and experience with LLMs an asset.
