Job Profile Summary
Sustainable Business is the future. A growing number of major companies around the world are adopting net-zero business strategies to reduce risk and ensure their long-term profitability. As a result, new sectors are emerging and business models are being developed that require innovative financial solutions.
Companies are looking for banks which will finance their transitions towards net-zero and more sustainable business models. This provides ING with solid business opportunities, which are both profitable as well as a contribution to a sustainable global economy.
ING recognises the importance of sustainability, which is a core pillar of its overall global strategy. ING has received high rankings in sustainability indices and is considered a leader for its integrated approach towards sustainability in the Wholesale Bank.
The Sustainable Solutions Group is growing as a strategic team, and provides sustainable financing solutions to clients globally and through its regional hubs in Amsterdam, Singapore, Sydney, Seoul, Hong Kong, London, Frankfurt, Brussels, Madrid, Paris and New York. To enhance coverage of our core clients in Singapore and the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, we are building out our Sustainable Solutions Group presence to enhance our sustainable finance offering to our clients and amplify our visibility and presence in the market.

Embedment
Support the team’s efforts to further embed sustainability and sustainable finance throughout ING’s Singapore and APAC operations.
Work closely with the front office colleagues to originate transactions and to upskill and empower them to spot sustainable finance opportunities early and take more ownership of the consequent deals.
**What we're looking for**:
At least 4 years of experience in corporate client-facing role, ideally in sustainable financing, but if not, then experience across advisory and/or consulting and banking.
A proven track record in sustainable finance / corporate ESG integration, with a working knowledge of corporate banking products (loans, bonds, financial derivatives, advisory, etc.).
