Sustainability & Governance (Senior Associate)
Application Deadline: 26 June 2026
Department: Governance
Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time
Location: UK - London
Reporting To: Edward Shone
Description
We’re looking for a Sustainability & Governance professional to play a key role in supporting and embedding CFC’s approach to sustainability, governance, and risk.
This isn’t a typical ESG role. Alongside contributing to the development and delivery of our sustainability strategy, you’ll focus on making it real in how the business operates day to day, from underwriting and risk management through to policy governance and Board reporting.
Working across a fast-moving, high-growth insurance business, you’ll partner closely with teams across Underwriting, Governance, Operations and Finance to ensure sustainability is practical, measurable, and embedded in decision-making. You’ll also support the ongoing development of our policy governance framework, helping ensure the right level of control, consistency, and oversight as we scale.
About the role
You’ll play a central role in delivering CFC’s sustainability strategy, turning high‑level ambition into clear, practical priorities that align with our commercial and regulatory environment.
Working closely with teams across the business, you’ll help embed ESG considerations into day‑to‑day activity, providing guidance and building a consistent understanding of expectations.
You’ll own sustainability reporting across the Group, including Board and Committee outputs and Syndicate 1988, alongside supporting regulatory submissions and external disclosures.
Staying close to an evolving regulatory landscape, you’ll help ensure we remain aligned across jurisdictions, coordinating activity and keeping ahead of emerging requirements.
You’ll work in partnership with Risk and underwriting to embed ESG into how we manage risk and portfolios, supporting the development of appetite and strengthening reporting and oversight.
Alongside this, you’ll take ownership of the Group’s policy governance framework, maintaining a robust and consistent approach across jurisdictions.
More broadly, you’ll contribute to the ongoing development of CFC’s Legal, Risk and Compliance capability, and support the management of the Group’s insurance programme, including broker relationships and renewals.
