Ebel is one of the Managing Directors of MJ Hudson Spring, our responsible investing advisory team. He is an advisor and entrepreneur with 25 years of experience.

Our current economic system has brought unprecedented levels of welfare and prosperity. Yet it is clear to all of us that the ways we produce, consume and finance will have to change.

At MJ Hudson Spring, we believe that investors play an important role in this transition. First, to better understand the impacts of their investments on climate change, ecosystems, and society. Second, to challenge their investments to reduce these impacts, but also to capture the opportunities that the sustainability transition provides.

We are looking for highly motivated people who are up for the challenge to become the absolute best. We seek top academic performers with strong analytical skills, as we expect a high level of performance. Affinity with the sustainability transition is a great plus.

If you want to take on the challenge, please express your interest by sending an application letter, your CV and relevant lists of grades (high school, bachelor and master) to: Recruiting.Spring@MJHudson.com.

Within two weeks we will let you know whether or not you will be invited for a first round of interviews. In this first round we will both discuss your background, experiences and motivation, and conduct a case interview. We aim to finish the application procedure with a second and final round of interviews within one month after receiving your documents.

As a new hire, you would typically join MJ Hudson Spring as a Consultant, depending on your academic qualifications and professional background.

As a Consultant, you will be a valuable part of exciting international projects, work in small, motivating teams with talented colleagues, and build up an exceptional professional skill set.

After gaining sufficient experience and expertise, you can work for Spring as an Associate, Manager and perhaps eventually a Partner in the company.

Victor Simoncelli, Fisheries and Commercial Manager at Marine Stewardship Council
"I look back with great fondness on my time at Spring. The setting of a young, highly talented team in an entrepreneurial environment resulted in practical solutions, even when dealing with complicated issues. Employees are typically flexible but thorough and sometimes a bit self-willed, but clearly appreciated by leading companies"

Steven Bernaert, Investment Manager at Convent Capital
"Spring is a group of intelligent, resourceful and creative professionals, but above all a team of great characters that makes it incredibly fun and rewarding to work with. If you are interested in working on strategic projects with top tier clients in a variety of industries, I warmly recommended joining the Spring Associates fellowship program."

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance, known in the financial world as the three central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of companies. ESG factors, though non-financial, can have a material impact on the long-term risk and financial performance of a company. Principally, companies that use ESG standards are more conscientious, less risky and are more likely to succeed in the long run.

Investors recognise the growing importance of this topic, and therefore work with us to measure the ESG performance of their investments. We therefore need to be able to tell what sustainability means for companies in a wide range of geographies and industries.

Together with the board of those companies, we develop a roadmap with actions that the companies can take to improve their sustainability performance. We discuss progress with those companies every year, so we can really steer and measure on impact.
