The Climate Bonds Initiative is expanding as green finance becomes mainstream. We are seeking a Certification Manager to help with the Climate Bonds Standard & Certification Scheme.
The Role
Investor demand for Green Bonds & Climate Bonds is strong, and will increase in line with the delivery of quality products into the market. However, investor concerns about the credibility of green labelling are also growing. Standards, assurance & certification are essential to improving confidence and transparency, and furthering strong growth in the market. The Climate Bonds Standard & Certification Scheme (‘Standard & Certification Scheme’) delivers this.
The Standard & Certification Scheme is an easy-to-use tool that allows investors and intermediaries to assess the environmental integrity of bonds. Approved verifiers use it to check the environmental credentials of green bonds in order to recommend them for Certification. The Standard & Certification Scheme is backed by the Climate Bonds Standard Board of investor representatives, which collectively represents $34 trillion of assets under management.
We have been rapidly expanding our activities and certifications over the last 18 months and now need further internal capabilities to support the Standard & Certification Scheme.
We are looking for a Certification Manager for the Standard & Certification Scheme in our London base. This person will report to the Head of Certification, who is based in Australia, and the Standards Manager, based in London.
