London, United Kingdom ShareAction Full time

ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has societys best interests at its core. As part of the Financial Sector Standards Directorate, the Co-Head of Investor Engagement is responsible for leading ShareActions engagement with asset owners, asset managers and investment consultants. The role is key to establishing, sustaining and deepening constructive relationships with investment professionals at the heart of the financial system, challenging, encouraging and supporting them to raise their ambition on climate, nature, decent working conditions and peoples health. You will help ShareAction work towards our vision by playing a leading role in shaping a dynamic new strategy for engaging pension funds to be active responsible stewards of pension savers capital, helping them to exercise positive influence over the wider investment system in the interests of the people whose assets they manage.
Your vital contribution will be to build constructive and sustained relationships with our key audiences in the investment industry and to shape inspiring and engaging events, dialogue and communications that deliver our messages in ways that resonate.
The Co-Head role is not a job share both Co-Heads are full-time roles. Jointly, you are accountable for the design and overall delivery of ShareActions investor engagement strategy and for the wellbeing and performance of the Investor Engagement Team. However, you each have distinct accountabilities within the strategy, and the Engagement Lead (this role) will have primary responsibility for team operations (budget, risk and plan management, as well as monitoring, evaluation and learning). You will also liaise closely with colleagues who lead our advocacy with policymakers, as well as those who lead our corporate campaigns, helping to coordinate their efforts to build coalitions of investors that drive change through collaborative engagements with specific companies and sectors. You will oversee the secretariat function which ShareAction provides to two networks of mission-led investors (the Charities Responsible Investment Network and the Responsible Investment Network Universities), supporting their ambitions to be at the leading edge of responsible investment practice.
ShareActions research, engagement and campaigns are highly respected within the investment industry. If you are excited by the opportunity to influence and shape the way the finance sector responds to the challenge of aligning long-term economic, financial, environmental and social goals, then wed love to hear from you
We want to hear from you if youre highly skilled in strategic stakeholder relationship management and have a passion for making the financial system work in the interests of people and the planet. We think this role could suit someone who has previous experience in or of the financial sector. Or perhaps you may have worked in the wider industry in investor relations, in a professional services organisation, or in a stakeholder-facing role within a civil society organisation or regulatory/policymaking body. However, we recognise that talent comes from all types of backgrounds, and lots of skills are transferable. So, if you believe you would excel in engaging to change the financial industry but don't have one of these profiles of experience, were still keen to hear from you, and we welcome opportunities to explore different ways of achieving our goals.
We are currently formalising our hybrid working policy; however, as this role involves a lot of meetings with London-based stakeholders, there is an expectation that you will be able to attend the office or meetings in London on average 68 times a month.
We recognise that our people work hard to advocate for responsible investment and drive meaningful engagement with those who have the power to create a brighter future. Every day, they bring their expertise, passion and persistence to build a world where the financial system serves our people and planet. A commitment to flexible working: over 60% of our employees have some sort of flexible working arrangement in place.
~ Hybrid working : we are committed to supporting our staff to work in a way that suits their lifestyle and meets the requirements of their role.
~ Internal promotion and development opportunities : we offer a range of ways to improve your skills and focus on what you love, including promotion, secondment, or sideways development opportunities. The opportunity to help make a difference : we tackle some of the worlds biggest social and environmental challenges. We offer opportunities for you to develop your skills and experience in a friendly, flexible and supportive working environment.
~ 8% non-contributory pension , invested with NEST and their green funds.
~ A healthcare cash plan with Westfield that gives you money back on your healthcare costs.
~ An employee assistance programme : advice and support, lifestyle discounts and short-term counselling.
~25 days annual leave (increasing with length of service) plus office closure at the end of the year , ensuring everyone gets time to switch off together.
