Overview

SYSTEMIQ, the system change company and certified B Corp, was founded to drive the achievement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement on climate change by transforming markets and business models in five key systems: nature and food, materials, and circular economy, energy, urban areas, and sustainable finance.

We are guided by the conviction that all system transformations are rooted in human transformations. We must continue to bring more diverse people and voices into real conversations to succeed. We know we don’t have all the answers; we may not even have all the right questions. But we know that open mindsets drive change, so relationships, people, and trust are at the heart of everything we do.

You will have senior strategy consulting experience coupled with exposure to the financial industry. You will have passion aligned with our mission to accelerate the shift of capital towards a more sustainable future and understanding of trends across ESG, sustainable and climate finance.

You will primarily be working on advisory projects to deliver breakthrough insights, action and results for leading investors, corporates and policy makers. You will support financial institutions to develop their strategies in a rapidly changing environment – working with them to identify investment opportunities across new technologies and business models that can shift capital towards a low-carbon, nature-positive economic system.

You will have a passion for working with leaders across the financial system as one of the most important drivers of transformative change in the real economy. You will have a vision for how sustainable finance can help build a more resilient, net-zero economy for people and planet by mitigating climate risk. You will bring strategic “big picture” thinking to global challenges, but be detail-oriented and understand how financial instruments, regulations and tools can help shift large-scale capital.

You will help design and structure innovative financial solutions to tackle some of the world’s greatest challenges. You will help drive research and communication with policymakers on how to green the financial system, working closely with our flagship coalitions such as the Blended Finance Taskforce.
