**Position title**: Assistant Vice President, Asia Sustainable Finance
**Reports to**: Senior Vice President, Asia Sustainable Finance
**Location**: Singapore
**I. 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 trainings cover a range of sectors and thematic focus areas
and help 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), in addition to
cross-cutting issues such as climate and energy, and water.
**II. 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.
- Support the development of partnerships and platforms that contribute to the goals of WWF’s Finance practice
- Work closely with other WWF national offices in the region to co-execute country-specific finance sector engagement strategies, taking into account the varying interests and priorities of different 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. ISEAL certifications, climate risk assessment and alignment, geospatial tools, natural capital impact reporting, etc.)
Work with regulators and policymakers to develop guidelines and regulations on sustainable finance that are harmonized across the region and consistent with international best practice and standards (e.g. EU Sustainable Finance Action Plan, TCFD, NGFS, etc.)
**ESG research and tools**

Contribute to the development of reports and tools to support capacity building, policy development and investor collective engagement
