• Maintaining and improving LSEG's sustainability risk guidance, taxonomy and supporting methodologies.
• Defining sustainability risk drivers, assessment requirements and oversight expectations across the Group.
• Embedding sustainability risk into enterprise risk management processes, while maintaining an independent view of sustainability risk exposure and emerging trends.

Independent Review & Challenge

The role provides oversight and challenge across sustainability risk activities, helping ensure risks are understood, managed appropriately and remain within agreed appetite.

• Reviewing risk assessments, controls, mitigation plans and reporting produced by the first line.
• Identifying common themes, interconnected risks and emerging concerns across divisions and functions.
• Supporting governance activities where sustainability risk input, review or approval is required.

Risk Appetite, Reporting & Insight

• Supporting the development of sustainability risk appetite measures, tolerances and key risk indicators.
• Monitoring risk exposures, highlighting significant issues and contributing to escalation activities where required.
• Producing reporting and analysis for management, governance forums and Board committees.

Emerging Risk & Strategic Support

• Monitoring emerging trends, regulatory developments and external events.
• Assessing how these developments may affect the Group's risk profile.
• Contributing sustainability risk expertise to pivotal initiatives, acquisitions, new products and change programmes.
• Supporting scenario analysis and stress-testing activities.

Governance & Collaboration

• Partner with Group Sustainability, divisional risk teams and business stakeholders.
• Support governance forums where sustainability risk matters are discussed.
• Deliver guidance, training and practical risk advice.
• Promote a consistent approach to sustainability risk management across LSEG.

• Assessing alignment between sustainability commitments, risk appetite and the Group's sustainability risk profile.

Qualifications & Experience

You will bring a strong understanding of sustainability-related risk themes such as climate, nature, human rights, supply chain, conduct and reputational risk, together with experience developing frameworks, governance approaches and risk reporting. The ability to influence and constructively challenge senior partners is essential, as is strong communication and analytical capability gained within a complex and regulated environment.
