About Schroders, our parent company
We're a global investment manager. We help institutions, intermediaries and individuals around the world invest money to meet their goals, fulfil their ambitions, and prepare for the future.
We have around 6,000 people on six continents. And we've been around for over 200 years, but keep adapting as society and technology changes. What doesn't change is our commitment to helping our clients, and society, prosper.
The base
We moved into our new HQ in the City of London in 2018. We're close to our clients, in the heart of the UK's financial centre. And we have everything we need to work flexibly.
The team
We are one of the largest UK-based wealth management firm, headquartered in London but with offices around the country. We help private clients, families, charities and some institutions meet their long term goals by offering our expertise in investment, wealth planning, lending and family office services. We draw on the resources of the Schroders group, as well as having our own in house investment team. We're open to flexible working, so we can all balance our personal and professional commitments.
What you'll do
You will be asked to analyse the current sustainability commitments within Schroders Wealth Management and understand the evolving sustainability regulatory landscape.

This is a great opportunity to be part of reshaping and driving the operational workflows within our business, created from new sustainability regulations, from the ground up. An understanding of sustainability regulation in the UK and/or EU is preferred but not required.
