• Help build ESG frameworks, methodologies, and internal policies alongside Legal, Compliance, and Finance.
• Follow industry trends and peer benchmarks to shape N26's ESG positioning and targets.
• Support investor relations content where ESG is involved, from earnings calls to investor decks and roadshow preparation.
• Collaborate with FP&A, Accounting, and Product teams to weave ESG thinking into everyday business processes.

Qualifications

• A university degree in Finance, Sustainability, Environmental Science, Economics, or a comparable discipline.
• 1–2 years in ESG analysis, sustainable finance, or an adjacent area such as investment banking, transaction advisory, or consulting with ESG exposure.
• Familiarity with ESG reporting standards including GRI, TCFD, SASB, and EU requirements (CSRD, EU Taxonomy).
• Strong analytical ability, comfortable handling large datasets and building clean models in Excel or Google Sheets.
• Fluency in both English and German, written and spoken.
• Excellent writing skills, capable of producing investor-quality documents with clarity and precision.
