Working Student Sustainable Finance in Financial Sector

Working Student Sustainable Finance in Financial Sector

Job Description & Summary

Are you looking for a Working Student position to spend 3 days per week developing PwC's sustainability business? Then take this opportunity to apply and start as a Working Student within our FS Finance team.

Financial institutions are increasingly aware of their role in the transition to a climate-neutral, green, circular, inclusive and competitive economy. Banks, insurers, pension funds and asset managers will have to embed ESG aspects in their products, services, processes, systems, strategy and culture. Only in this way can they continue to be assured of a license to operate, maintain a viable revenue model and contribute to a further restoration of confidence in the financial sector. Sustainable finance offers financial institutions opportunities to distinguish themselves when it comes to products and services, risk management and reporting and disclosures.

Will you help our clients to integrate ESG into their entire operations and achieve the desired sustainable finance ambition? Would you like to navigate in a multidisciplinary and international environment, execute research on sustainable finance topics, and be part of positive changes in society?

What will you be doing?

As a Working Student in our FS Finance team, you will support our team on Sustainable Finance research and development activities. We work mainly for clients in the financial sector (banks, insurances and pension funds) on implementing several Sustainable Finance regulations. You will help our team to be ahead of our clients in all sustainability topics such as climate, biodiversity, inequality and many more sustainability themes. By joining the FS Finance team, you will develop knowledge and skills in sustainability and get to know PwC and our culture really well.

Does this describe you?

You are a talented and ambitious student, and you take responsibility for your own opportunities and development. You want to develop yourself, both professionally and personally. You want to refine your social skills and build on relationships which will be profitable for the rest of your career. Specifically, we are looking for someone with the following profile:
