Policy Adviser – Green Finance

3 months ago

Durham, United Kingdom HM TREASURY-1 Full time

Green finance is one of the fastest growing trends in global finance. This stretching role within HM Treasury's Green Finance Unit provides an exciting opportunity to shape the Government's green finance agenda

About the Team

The Green Finance Unit is an impactful and friendly team. We lead on policy and regulation for green finance, working closely with other government departments and the financial regulators.

Ensuring the UK's finance sector can respond to the global transition to a resilient, nature-positive, net zero economy is at the core of what we do. This includes supporting the financial sector to unlock the investment needed to address climate change and biodiversity loss, empowering people to understand the environmental impact of their financial choices, and ensuring that the rapidly growing market for sustainable finance is well-regulated.

About the Job

You will work collaboratively with colleagues across Government and the financial regulators to create innovative policies that will harness the financial sector to help drive the UK's transition to a more sustainable economy. This includes:

  1. Designing and implementing policies to 'green' the financial system. This includes developing policy to position the UK's financial services sector to capture sustainability-related opportunities; ensuring the sector manages climate and environment-related risks; and supporting the mobilisation of necessary private finance needed to deliver transition to a resilient, net zero and nature-positive economy.
  2. Leading engagement with financial regulators and departments across Whitehall to ensure that the Government's approach to green finance policy and regulation is effective, proportionate, and coordinated.
  3. Working closely with Treasury legal advisers to explore legal implications across a range of policy options in order to deliver clear recommendations to seniors.
  4. Delivering clear, high-quality advice for ministers and senior officials on complex financial services policy, with an emphasis on how policies fit with broader Government climate and environment policy and deliver on government objectives.
  5. Engaging with experts from industry, academia and NGOs to test policy ideas and identify emerging trends.
  6. Promoting the UK's approach to sustainable finance regulation both domestically and internationally, through preparing Ministers and seniors to engage with leading industry figures, at international forums, and with Parliament.

About You

Experience in climate policy and or/financial services knowledge is key for this role, as is the ability to understand and analyse policy detail, identify key issues and how they fit into overall government objectives. You'll be a great collaborator, with the ability to build relationships and work effectively with partners at all levels.

Some of the Benefits our people love

  • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King's birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing employees to take up to an additional 2 days off each month
  • Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, condensed hours)
  • Generous parental and adoption leave packages
  • Access to a generous Defined Benefit pension scheme with employer contributions of 27%
  • Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances
  • A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
