ShareAction is an independent charity and an expert on responsible investment. We work to build a world where the financial system serves our planet and its people. We set ambitious standards for how financial institutions, through their investment decisions, can protect our planet and its people and campaign for this approach to become the norm. We convene shareholders to collectively push companies to tackle climate crisis, protect nature, improve workers’ rights and shape healthier societies. In the UK and EU, we advocate for financial regulation that has society’s best interests at its core. 

What you'll do

We are seeking to appoint an Interim Head of EU Policy, for 12 months, to lead our advocacy work on Sustainable Finance in Brussels setting ShareAction’s agenda to drive a more responsible financial sector within the EU policy space.

You will lead a team to develop and deliver our advocacy strategy and campaigns. The role would see you interacting and managing strategic relationships with senior policymakers across the EU institutions, as well as with civil society and industry stakeholders. Alongside this, you would oversee programme and budget management, stakeholder engagement, funder relationships and reporting, and monitoring, evaluation and learning. You would also serve as a spokesperson with respect to EU policy work in the media.

Supporting and developing your team, as well as playing a wider role across ShareAction’s Extended Leadership Team, are important aspects of the role.

If this role sounds like something that would build on your current skill set and engage you, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll bring to the team

We want to hear from you if you’re excited by the opportunity to lead a team to influence EU regulation to drive a more sustainable financial sector.

We think this role would suit someone who has a background in EU advocacy, with a strong experience in people management, comfort with programme and budget management, and who enjoys building and leveraging stakeholder relationships. Sustainability expertise is desirable; and experience working with the financial sector would also be a bonus. 

We have a formal hybrid working policy in place, and the EU Policy team meets in the Brussels office on a weekly basis. As this role involves a lot of meetings with Brussels based stakeholders, there is an expectation that you live in Belgium and that you are able to attend the office or meetings at least once a week.
