About this opportunity

We currently have a great opportunity for an experienced Associate Director to join our dedicated first-class Sustainability & ESG Financing team (“S&ESG Finance”). We're committed to support and accelerate our own, our colleagues’ and our clients’ transition to a more sustainable economy.

Our team takes a lead in enabling the Bank to deliver on its dedication to reduce carbon exposure from our balance sheet by 50% by 2030, as part of our commitments to the Net Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) and to provide £15 bn of sustainable finance by 2024. Our approach to engaging clients on assessing the credibility of their transition plans (CTP) is a fundamental, strategic lever in our ability to deliver on our NZBA targets - alongside building out our approach to advance financing for the technologies required to reach net zero through our Net Zero Impact Portfolio (NZIP).

Your accountabilities will include:

- Build out specialist technical capability & capacity in CIB to support the UK’s net zero transition, delivering on our ambition to reduce CIB financed emissions by 50% by 2030.
- Address increasing demand from our clients for our technical expertise in climate transition and sustainability strategic advisory, in formulating credible transition plans.
- Identify, assess and support delivery on Net Zero Origination, advancing our financing in the technologies required for reaching net zero, engaging ESG Risk, Coverage & Product teams and continuing to build out our Net Zero Impact Portfolio.
- Support CIB sector coverage teams in setting Net Zero Banking Alliance targets and ensure delivery of targets by defining & implementing sector transition strategies through a Just Transition Lens.
- Promote and broaden our ESG technical capability, in delivering thought leadership on the emerging strategic sustainability challenges and opportunities facing our clients.
- Deliver effective governance capability having confidence to challenge constructively and work with any local regulators in an open and collaborative manner.
- Support CIB and wider sustainability initiatives within the group to advance our sustainability products and propositions.

You'll need to:

- Demonstrate a strong understanding of cross-sector trends in Sustainability, ESG and Climate Change, and be able to optimally disseminate information to clients and key partners.
- Demonstrate an understanding of transition planning including the trade-offs of initiatives and interventions and understand the various frameworks and data sources related to transition plans e.g. The Transition Plan Taskforce, Transition Pathway Initiative, Climate Action100 etc.
- Undertake strategic, comprehensive research on borrowers, markets and lenders, effectively drawing upon market, policy, technology and ESG analytics data and other sources of information to present to clients in a clear and compelling way.
- Knowledge of the ESG reporting landscape for Corporates & Financial Institutions.
- Develop productive and positive relationships with internal partners across the Bank and wider pan-LBG and with external partners including advisory and legal firms, representing LBG at market-leading industry events and with clients as we transform our business.
- Providing thought leadership in the creation of marketing materials, pitch-books and reports, to ensure successful promotion of the bank and the team’s ESG activities both internally and externally to develop an industry leading profile in this area.
- Mentor and stretch the development of others in the team.

Why Lloyds Banking Group?

From building a truly sustainable business to creating a place where people love to work, we need colleagues who are up for the challenge of our bold ambitions. Who are excited to push boundaries and make change happen. Together, we can grow with purpose.

What we need from you?
- Track record of technical and strategic capability across ESG, climate and sustainability.
- An enthusiasm for delivering a Just Transition in our advancing toward net zero for LBG and our clients with a deep understanding of the trade-offs and consequences if not achieved.
- A desire to support our clients, colleagues, and wider society for a real-economy transition.
- In-depth knowledge of key frameworks and standards in the sustainability sphere, including climate policy, net zero transition technologies and market / scenario analysis.
- Existing external profile in Climate & Sustainability Strategy, with client advisory experience.
