Key Responsibilities

• Support the monitoring and measurement of sustainability performance across the portfolio, including performance against recognised benchmarks and frameworks, to inform portfolio oversight and engagement.
• Support corporate sustainability data management, including emissions monitoring and reporting, with a focus on data quality and consistency for internal and regulatory reporting.
• Apply analytical techniques to identify trends, risks, performance drivers, and opportunities for improvement across sustainability datasets, supporting portfolio monitoring and value creation initiatives.
• Develop clear and compelling data visualisations, dashboards, and reporting outputs that translate data into insights, narratives, and actionable takeaways for internal stakeholders, including investment teams and senior management.
• Leverage data systems, automation tools, and emerging technologies (including AI-enabled solutions and low-code platforms) to improve data collection processes, analytical efficiency, and repeatability of outputs.
• Support portfolio-level measurement of sustainability-related risks and impacts, contributing to broader assessment and monitoring activities undertaken by the Sustainability team.
• Collaborate closely with the Private Equity Sustainability team and provide analytical support to the Credit business on sustainability-related data requests.
• Maintain high standards of data governance, confidentiality, and documentation when handling sensitive portfolio and corporate sustainability data.
• Contribute to the ongoing development and enhancement of sustainability data management tools, systems, and internal processes to support scalable and audit-ready reporting.

• Strong analytical skills with proficiency in data manipulation and analysis tools (e.g. Excel, SQL) and data visualisation platforms (e.g. Power BI or similar).
• Experience working with data systems and an interest in leveraging automation, low-code tools, or AI-enabled platforms (e.g. Airtable or similar) to improve data workflows and analytical outputs.
• Ability to critically interpret data, identify inconsistencies or anomalies, and communicate findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present insights and data-driven narratives in a clear, structured, and professional manner.
• Self-motivated, well-organised, and able to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• Familiarity with sustainability and non-financial reporting frameworks (e.g. SFDR, TCFD, CSRD).
• Demonstrated commitment to continuous learning and professional development, particularly in sustainability-related topics.
