Your role

Are you interested in sustainability? Do you enjoy analysing data and trends? Are you flexible, willing to jump in and help where needed?
We're looking for someone to join the EMEA Sustainability Research team, sitting at the heart of UBS Global Research. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to differentiated, investment-focused ESG research, working closely with sector analysts across regions to help shape insights that inform investment decisions.
The role is initially a support-focused position, giving you the opportunity to build a strong foundation in ESG research, data analysis and the investment process. Over time, and depending on your development, there will be opportunities to take greater ownership of research outputs and products.
In this role, you will:
• Support the broader ESG team with company and industry-specific analysis, working closely with sector teams and analysts across the global research platform
• Track ESG thematics and regulatory developments, helping to translate emerging trends into investment-relevant insights
• Assist in leveraging UBS Evidence Lab and other data sources to produce differentiated, actionable ideas
• Contribute to the drafting of research reports and written content on a regular basis
• Conduct ESG factor and issue analysis and help translate this into clear, investment-relevant conclusions
• Explore ESG and financial datasets to identify risks, trends and investment implications
• Help organise non-traditional research activities (e.g. expert calls, conferences), and support the maintenance of team processes and systems

This role offers a steep learning curve, broad exposure across sectors and themes, and the opportunity to develop into a contributor to high-impact research over time
