This includes formulating transition plans, identifying climate change-related risks and opportunities, and integrating climate considerations into all aspects of the bank's decision-making processes and operations.
Take charge of managing financed emissions by evaluating and reporting emissions, setting ambitious reduction targets, and collaborating with business units to identify lucrative opportunities with low carbon footprints.
Play a pivotal role in driving the bank's green and sustainable finance (GSF) business, aligning it with the institution's net zero aspirations. Enhance the GSF framework, evaluate new GSF products, and closely monitor performance to ensure sustainable growth.
Act as a subject matter expert on the bank's net zero transition, continuously staying abreast of emerging trends, regulations, and best practices. Proactively identify avenues for improving the bank's emissions performance and contribute to its industry leadership.
Supervise relationships with consultants and vendors, ensuring adherence to budgetary constraints within the department while leveraging their expertise to achieve optimal results.

Collaborate closely with data teams to develop the bank's robust ESG data platform, exploring suitable solutions from external vendors to enhance its comprehensiveness and effectiveness in analyzing carbon emissions and other relevant factors.
Maintain strict compliance with all applicable regulations, rules, codes, guidelines, and standards set by regulators and the bank, conducting all duties with the utmost integrity.
Adhere rigorously to established risk control guidelines, procedures, and measures for identifying, assessing, reporting, mitigating, and monitoring risks associated with daily work activities, ensuring a robust risk management framework is in place.
