ESG Investor, Senior Reporter

Senior reporter, ESG Investor – London/UK

ESG Investor (www.esginvestor.net) is looking for a senior reporter to join our London-based editorial team as we expand and deepen our coverage of sustainable investment issues for asset owners.

ESG Investor has quickly established itself as a respected online platform focused on the practical information needs of asset owners as they develop sustainability and impact-focused investment strategies.

Working closely with our existing team, you will generate and execute story ideas that address the key concerns of asset owners as they look to identify and manage ESG risks and impacts across their portfolios, within the context of constant change to regulations, standards, fund solutions, data and analytics.

You will work across news, features, special reports and audio-visual content, using your strong sustainable investment knowledge and contacts to provide unique insights on the most urgent ESG-related challenges and opportunities for asset owners.

As the news flow on ESG-related themes increases and matures, you must be skilled in identifying the stories and angles of most interest to our core audience.

As part of a dynamic, international team, working both autonomously and collaboratively is a key requisite.

This job would suit a reporter looking to deepen their expertise in a dynamic and critical area of investment reporting and to tell the story of a transformational shift for investors, companies, policymakers and wider society.
