**osition title**:Assistant Vice President (AVP), Asia Sustainable Finance
**Reports to**:Head, Asia Sustainable Finance
**About World Wide Fund for Nature, Singapore (WWF)**
WWF-Singapore is a Singapore-registered charity, a network member of WWF International - one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organisations. WWF-Singapore protects critical natural resources for people in Singapore and supports a global network that spans over 100 countries. WWF-Singapore addresses issues important to Singapore and the region, such as climate change, deforestation, marine pollution and illegal wildlife trade. We achieve this through community-based conservation and restoration efforts in key landscapes and seascapes, and by innovative approaches for market transformation, sustainable finance, policy and advocacy, and education and outreach.
**Mission of the Asia Sustainable Finance Team**:
WWF has identified the **finance sector **as a key driver of global economic activity with which we must engage to successfully deliver on our long-term conservation mission. To do this, we work with key finance sector players including **banks, investors, regulators, and stock exchanges **, across **six focus areas**:
- **Regulations and Guidelines**:We provide recommendations and facilitate dialogue between regulatory authorities and financial institutions (FIs) to issue harmonized regulations and guidelines that raise the bar for sustainable finance at the national and regional level.
- **Standards**:We help FIs understand what makes certain standards and certification schemes credible to help them ensure that their due diligence and verification processes assure robust sustainability practices.
- **Capacity Building**:We empower FIs through capacity building on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues through industry-wide workshops and bilateral training sessions. Our training covers a range of sectors and thematic focus areas and helps FIs to better assess and price risk, value companies, and develop new products.
- **Research & Tools**:We conduct research, develop best practice guides, and benchmark FIs’ progress on ESG integration to ensure timely progress towards a resilient and sustainable financial system. We also help FIs to understand and implement cutting-edge tools so they can better understand, measure, and manage evolving ESG risks and opportunities.
- **Engagement**:We help investors exert their influence and facilitate large scale, meaningful change by providing research and analysis that supports their engagement with portfolio companies over key ESG issues.
- **Green Financial Solutions**:We work with FIs to support the development of innovative green financial solutions based on science-based criteria that create measurable environmental and social impacts alongside competitive financial returns.
In Asia, we work across seven (7) ASEAN countries - Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam - as well as in Japan and South Korea. We focus on sustainability issues related to soft commodities finance (e.g. agriculture, forestry, and seafood), the energy and infrastructure sectors, and cross-cutting issues such as climate and nature.
**Major Duties and Responsibilities**:
The AVP will contribute to the general work of the team work under the direction of senior team members across the following areas:
Stakeholder engagement and relationship management
- Manage relationships with key finance sector stakeholders, including investors (asset owners, asset managers), banks, stock exchanges, regulators, government ministries, etc.

Influence and foster the development of the finance sector’s strategies, policies and/or regulations on sustainable finance
- Work with key banks, investors, and industry associations to develop responsible lending and investing strategies, policies, ESG risk assessment tools, and appropriate monitoring and reporting frameworks (e.g. TCFD, TNFD, ISEAL certifications, climate risk assessment and alignment, geospatial tools, natural capital impact reporting, etc.)
ESG research and tools
