To manage risk effectively and run a successful business, we invest significantly in our people and infrastructure.
Job Purpose
A rapidly growing number of stakeholders globally across governments, private and financial sectors, as well as society at large, have embraced the urgent need to address environmental and social challenges. DBS has been thoughtful around our own sustainability agenda because we not only want to create a healthy planet but also to ensure that the transition to accomplish this is just. We want to be a bank that contributes to preserving a healthy planet while also addressing key social needs.

The role will focus on advancing DBS' climate risk management strategies and initiatives, driving and developing climate risk management capabilities, and building our approach to climate risk data collection.
As a second line of defence, the role will collaborate with the business to enhance standards and policies and provide climate risk advice on deals, products, transactions, and client engagements, in turn supporting DBS in achieving our Net Zero targets. Working in close partnership with the broader Risk organization, the selected candidate will be responsible for establishing climate risk best practices in this critical area and supporting enhanced due diligence for high-risk accounts.

Provide guidance to IBG/CBWM Credit Risk Managers on climate risk assessments and considerations relating to deals, products, transactions, and clients, and provide recommendations to mitigate climate risk, where required/appropriate.
Manage senior stakeholders in key internal ESG forums including engaging on the strategic development of ESG risk management practices within the organization.
Develop and oversee the implementation of climate risk management strategies and frameworks across DBS' markets, including designing, implementing, and documenting new measures and controls to manage climate and environmental risk. Contribute Risk input to broader firm-wide sustainability strategic commitments (e.g. NZBA, TCFD, Equator Principles).
Drive the interpretation of expectations from key regulators and ensure risk compliance with emerging environmental risk regulations. Manage regulatory engagement for ESG Risk management, particularly annual regulatory review exercises.
Manage interactions with external parties such as relevant associations, consultants, and prospective vendors on climate risk topics, including regular reporting and updates.
Work towards building an understanding of new climate change products and services, including carbon markets, new climate change mitigation, and adaptation technologies.
Develop and oversee an environmental risk capacity building program for ESG risk assessment including managing training for newly introduced ESG risk management processes and policies.
Requirements
A Bachelor's or postgraduate degree in a sustainability-related field, and/or a relevant risk domain.
A minimum of 8 to 10 years of experience and proven track record in Climate and ESG Risk management in the financial sector and good understanding of Institutional Banking products/services and risk policies.
Familiarity with the increasing regulatory expectations facing banks and other market developments with respect to Climate Risk/ESG.
Proven track record of senior stakeholder management on climate and environmental risk with the ability to take ideas forward and to challenge others, where appropriate.
