The potential impacts to finance systems would span along the end-to-end processes resulting from any of the ESG and Sustainable Finance related initiatives. For instance, any of the upstream business requirements changes leading to their upstream system changes, which would need to be considered in the Global finance processes and systems.
Here’s what you can expect:
The global ESG and Sustainable Finance Programme is a multi-year programme within Finance Change Delivery (FCD) to deliver the Global Finance Strategic Solution for ESG reporting obligations (and internal monitoring and reporting capability) for the bank. As a key member of the global ESG FCD team, this role will contribute to the transformation and delivery of the Strategic Solution covering ESG disclosure, regulatory and internal MI reporting onto the Cloud-based data and reporting solution as brought out by the Finance on The Cloud (FoTC) Programme. In particular, this role would lead and drive the end-to-end Strategic Solution development for the forthcoming US SEC requirements throughout the FoTC. It is essential to be familiar with the fundamentals of FoTC.
The role holder is expected to liaise with a large group of senior stakeholders across Global Finance, including ESG CFO team, business finance teams and GLoBs and GFs to gather ESG reporting metrics, translate such into detailed requirements for data, calculation and visualization/reporting components on FCDP, FCRP and FCVP. This will involve in depth review of what drive the requirements, regulatory or otherwise, and further aligning such with existing tactical solutions delivered by the ESG CFO and other GLoBs and GF teams locally and at Group level.
Strong collaboration is required with the Data & Compliance Value Stream within FCD and across FoTC teams as the person will manage and drive consistent data policy for the ESG Strategic Solution to comply with the FoTC Data Design principles and system architecture.

This role is a unique opportunity to work in an area of growing interest to regulators, investors, and the wider external market. Disclosure rules and regulation for ESG topics are evolving globally. There is a need to understand new and changing disclosure requirements, and how these can be best met through US and Group’s external reporting.
As the ESG disclosures have grown in prominence, there has been an increased need for robust assurance and oversight of disclosed ESG materials.
