Position Summary:
Bloomberg will be supporting the GFANZ Secretariat moving forward. We are looking to fill a number of workstream “technical lead” roles to assist the GFANZ Secretariat. Selected individuals will be tasked with being the go-to technical authority on one or multiple of GFANZ”s area of work, working across the GFANZ Secretariat and GFANZ coordinating bodies (e.g., the Steering Group and Advisory Panel), to ensure a high level of difficulty and impact of the work. Technical leads are not expected to do this alone; depending on workstream area, leads may be able to use management consulting support, Secretariat member staff time, workstream taskforce member time (i.e., from GFANZ member firms), and/or talent seconded to GFANZ from other organizations and/or Bloomberg. To discover more about the GFANZ”s workstreams please read the relevant chapter of GFANZ”s Progress Report, published at COP26: https://assets.bbhub.io/company/sites/63/2021/11/GFANZ-Progress-Report.pdf
Key Responsibilities:
- Support technical workstream staff leaders (e.g., the CSOs from GFANZ Principal Group CEO firms) including helping set workstream strategy, goals/objectives, activities, and work product – all while maintaining the spirit of GFANZ”s work being practitioner-led
- Coordinate with other workstream technical leads to ensure activities, work product, and goals are cross-complementary with GFANZ”s overall program of work
- Co-create with workstream staff leads forward-looking work plans and workstream achievements and lead each workstream”s efforts toward them
- Ensure work product and workstream activities incorporate the perspectives of the diverse types of financial institutions that are part of GFANZ
- Serve as a primary drafter of technical content development in reports and other workstream collateral, leveraging support from workstream taskforce members, GFANZ management consultants, Secretariat staff, and/or any GFANZ secondees
- Work with the GFANZ ecosystem including Advisory Panel, sub-sector alliances, member firms, taskforce members, and others to effectively solicit and incorporate feedback on technical work product and workstream activities
- Engage with other areas of the “climate finance” ecosystem to ensure workstream work is tied in as needed to other related/ongoing efforts, that the workstream incorporates the views of key collaborators, and is not duplicating work happening in other parts of the ecosystem
- Serve as the primary project manager and technical lead on some of GFANZ”s technical workstreams; serve as ultimately responsible for ensuring workstream activities and work product are of high quality
