Key responsibilities
"Would you like to create an impact through addressing sustainability, climate and nature risks in financial markets?
Are you skilled in designing, challenging, and embedding sustainability risk solutions into core risk management frameworks across a global bank?
At UBS, we re-imagine the way we work, the way we connect with each other – our colleagues, clients and partners – and the way we deliver value. Being agile will make us more responsive, more adaptable, and ultimately more innovative.
We’re looking for a Sustainability and Climate Risk Specialist to:
- lead the integration and continuous enhancement of climate and nature risk into existing credit, market and liquidity risk frameworks partnering with stakeholders across 1LOD, 2LOD, and 3LOD, and strengthening end-to-end embedding across the risk lifecycle
- critically review and challenge the methodological soundness of sustainability, climate and nature risk approaches used in internal risk management processes, external disclosures and internal reporting
- design, oversee, and continuously improve a robust and scalable control framework, ensuring strong governance, documentation, audit readiness, and regulatory compliance, including effective issue management and remediation
- monitor regulatory developments and industry standards and assess their applicability to UBS's business model
- drive simplification, standardization, and scalability of SCR processes and frameworks across the organization
- scale the use of data, advanced analytics, and AI to automate processes, reporting, controls, and insight generation"
The team
"You’ll join the Sustainability and Climate Risk team based in Pune, India, part of Group Risk Control, with firm‑wide responsibility for defining and implementing frameworks and controls to manage sustainability and climate risks.
As a Risk Control Specialist, you will act as a second line of defense, partnering closely with senior stakeholders across the business to shape, challenge, and embed forward‑looking risk management practices across the organization.
We believe diversity helps us grow — together. That’s why we are committed to fostering and advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion. An inclusive culture strengthens our business, fuels better decision‑making, and delivers greater value to our clients."
Your skills and experience
"• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in environmental sciences, climate science, sustainability, finance, economics, or business administration
- 10+ years of experience in risk management within financial services and/or management consulting, with strong exposure to sustainability and climate risk (SCR/ESG)
- deep understanding of end to end bank risk management, including credit, market, and liquidity risk, with the ability to connect sustainability risks across these domains
- proven experience in designing, implementing, and challenging methodologies, frameworks, controls, or models related to climate and/or nature risk
- demonstrated ability to drive large-scale transformation initiatives, including the use of data, analytics, and AI for automation and control enhancement
- solid knowledge of key international sustainability, climate and nature standards (e.g., ISSB, TCFD) and evolving regulatory expectations
- strong leadership, stakeholder management, and communication skills, with the ability to influence senior audiences; structured, proactive, and outcome-oriented
- fluent in English; additional languages are a plus"
- You’re curious to explore how AI can improve how we build, deliver, and optimize workflows. You do this with sound judgment – validating outputs and aligning with policies, risk standards, and ethical use.
