London, UK, United Kingdom DiverseJobsMatter Full time

The Senior Research Officer will contribute to this research, collecting information from institutions and databases, analysing quantitative and qualitative data, producing engaging content, and translating this analysis into actionable steps for institutions in our reports.


The focus of this role is to support the production and publication of our survey of the European banking sector. In this role, you will work closely with colleagues in both the Financial Sector Research and the Banking Standards teams to:

  • Develop a methodology that is consistent with other financial sector benchmarks published by us, reflects recent market developments, draws on internal and external subject matter expertise, and reflects our campaign priorities
  • Collect, audit and analyse data regarding banks’ climate and sustainability strategies
  • Produce accurate and engaging written reports and data visualisations summarising the key findings of the research, and drafting credible and persuasive recommendations
  • Support the presentation of the survey’s findings to banks, investors, funders, and the media
  • Contribute to responses to external consultations, from regulators, policymakers, and other NGOs, and support data sharing with external partners as appropriate.


The survey and benchmark of the European banking sector will be led by the Banking Programme team, with support from the Financial Sector Research team. This role will sit within the Financial Sector Research team, to benefit from the experience and processes already established for our asset management and insurance benchmarks. While the successful candidate will focus on the survey of the European banking sector, there will be opportunity to contribute to and learn about the other financial sector benchmarks as part of this role.


Key responsibilities:

  • Analysing quantitative and qualitative data, and writing reports on banks’ responsible finance performance
  • Coordinating between the Financial Sector Research and Banking Standards teams to ensure consistency across our financial sector benchmarks
  • Conducting research across the themes covered by the benchmarks that draws on internal and external resources to inform survey development and data analysis
  • Using Excel and Python to analyse and organise large data sets (training will be provided for Python if needed)
  • Participating in engagement calls with banks and answering technical questions relating to the research content
  • Presenting findings of our work to external and internal stakeholders, through blogs, presentations, webinars, and roundtables, and supporting the coordination of these events as appropriate
  • Organising and planning work with a high-level of autonomy
  • Supporting the monitoring, evaluation and learning of our work
  • Contributing to funding bids and reporting on KPIs to funders where appropriate
  • Supporting the wider Financial Sector Research team to deliver other pieces of research, particularly the asset manager and insurance sector benchmarks
  • Keeping up to date on relevant news and information on the financial sector and the thematic areas covered by our work
