  • Deep knowledge of ESG disclosure regimes (CSRD, SFDR, SEC) and regulatory engagement across multiple jurisdictions.
  • Expertise in emissions accounting (Scopes 1–3), biodiversity offsets, sustainability-linked financing, and supply chain transparency.
  • Proven track record in grant acquisition, stakeholder advocacy, and external representation.
  • Strong communication skills, able to present investor-grade sustainability narratives with clarity and impact.

Critical Attributes

  • Regulatory fluency across ESG legislation.
  • Strategic acumen and systems thinking across environmental, financial, and policy domains.
  • Precision, accountability, and audit-ready discipline.
  • Resilience under complex, multi-stakeholder, high-stakes contexts.
  • Cultural fluency across APAC, EU, and North America.
  • Recognised thought leadership in sustainable innovation.

Why FSCO?

This is a unique opportunity to influence global sustainability at the highest level, working directly with the CEO and Board. You will shape not only FSCO's governance and client offerings but also its position as a leader in sustainable finance and digital innovation.
