This role keeps the CSRD reporting chain running at Abeille Assurances. Day to day that means coordinating contributions from business, IT, distribution, HR, Legal and Communication teams, tracking the annual planning against Groupe Aéma deadlines, and consolidating what comes back into usable figures and committee materials.
The second half is the reporting itself: organising the collection and control of ESG data, producing sustainability indicators, and preparing the sustainability report. Within an insurer of this size, that work is what makes published climate and sustainable finance commitments checkable rather than declarative.
This suits someone who likes being the person who knows where every contribution stands, is comfortable chasing colleagues who do not report to them, and treats traceability and auditability as part of the job rather than a constraint.
Job FAQs
What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?
The role has two connected halves. The first is PMO for CSRD work: coordinating contributions from the different directions, keeping the annual schedule and Group deadlines in view, handling requests from Groupe Aéma, consolidating what comes back, and preparing committees and decision-support materials. In practice this person is the one who knows where each piece of the reporting exercise stands and who chases it when it slips.
The second half is production and reliability of the sustainability reporting itself. That covers organising the collection, control and consolidation of ESG data, producing sustainability indicators and contributing to their analysis, preparing the sustainability report and its supporting deliverables, and guaranteeing quality, traceability and auditability of everything published. Continuous improvement of processes, methodologies and reporting tools sits on top of both halves.
The longer-term objective is not simply publishing a compliant report. It is to make the reporting chain dependable as the CSRD perimeter widens, so that figures hold up to audit and serve as a basis for decisions rather than a yearly administrative burden. The role sits in the Strategy and CSR direction, which means its output feeds both regulatory compliance and the company's positioning on climate, responsible offers and sustainable finance.
Key learning opportunities for this job
The main learning curve is CSRD implementation in real conditions. Coordinating contributions from several directions, tracking a Groupe calendar and consolidating what comes back teaches how a European reporting framework is actually operationalised inside an insurer, which is knowledge still rare on the market.
The second gain is methodological: organising collection, controlling and consolidating ESG data, building indicators, and preparing deliverables that must be traceable and auditproof. Working with auditors and with Groupe Aéma requests gives direct exposure to the quality standards that reporting functions are judged on, and to the tooling and processes that support them.
Beyond technical content, the role is a course in influence. You will learn how to get priorities from directions that have their own objectives, how to prepare decision supports for comités, and how to turn a regulatory deadline into something colleagues accept. Sustainable finance exposure, including the ISR range and the label framework, rounds out a profile that can later move toward consulting, audit or a CSRD lead role.
How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?
The posting requires a Master 2 from a university, an IEP, a business school or an engineering school, specialising in sustainable development, plus at least two years on a comparable role with apprenticeships and internships counted. The profile is a hybrid: enough technical grounding in ESG and sustainable finance to challenge a number and enough project discipline to keep a multi-direction calendar moving.
On the hard skills, expect CSRD and reporting production literacy, comfort with ESG indicators and consolidation logic, and confidence in O365, particularly Excel for consolidation and PowerPoint for the committee packs. Attention to quality, traceability and auditability is stated as a requirement rather than a preference, so a candidate who has faced an auditor has a clear edge over one who has only produced reports.
On the soft side, the posting is explicit: autonomy, agility, adaptability and force de conviction. Those four point to a person who can work without constant supervision, absorb a changing reporting standard, and still make colleagues in other directions deliver. Written and oral fluency plus a talent for synthesis matter, since the output goes to management committees. Because Abeille Assurances mentions inclusion, equality and diversity, a candidacy that treats RSE as a business transformation rather than a compliance chore tends to fit better.
Advice to stand out and make a successful application
Shape your application around the two verbs the posting keeps returning to: coordinate and make auditproof. Show a CSRD exercise you ran end to end, including how you chased late contributors across business lines, and name the data points you defended against an auditor. Since the role sits inside a Strategy and CSR direction working with IT, distribution, Communication, HR, General Services, Legal and Compliance, a cover letter that names those interfaces and the friction between them reads far more credible than one that repeats the definition of materiality. On Excel specifically, be ready to explain how you built a consolidation file: versioning, controls, traceability, how you handle a late correction after a number has been signed off.
Prepare for the interview as if it were a PMO exercise. Expect a case where a Groupe deadline and a métier constraint collide, and they will watch whether you plan, escalate and communicate rather than simply agree. Have two or three concrete stories where you convinced someone with no reporting obligation to deliver on time, because the posting asks explicitly for force de conviction.
Finally, connect your motivation to what Abeille Assurances actually publishes: the Label Positive Assurance, the ISR savings range, Finance for Tomorrow, La Fabrique Abeille Assurances and Alliance for Impact. Being able to say which of these your day to day would touch, and how reporting feeds them, separates a serious candidate from a generic one. Note too that this is a CDI under cadre status based in Bois-Colombes, so make your availability and mobility clear.
What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?
The dominant focus is CSRD compliance and ESG reporting. Given the job sits in an insurance company inside Aéma Groupe, the data side likely includes the insurance-specific angle: invested assets and sustainable finance, underwriting and responsible offers, and the operational footprint of a company with around 3,900 employees in France. Climate is the axis the company foregrounds, alongside territory-level action.
On the governance side, the role touches the way sustainability information is produced and validated across a large organisation, which in practice means internal control, audit readiness and consistency between what the Groupe publishes and what Abeille Assurances contributes. The posting is explicit that traceability and auditability of published information are part of the job, which places the role close to the assurance process rather than only to communication.
Where the company's published commitments become relevant, the role could support reporting on the Label Positive Assurance, the ISR savings range, Finance for Tomorrow, La Fabrique Abeille Assurances and Alliance for Impact. Those initiatives need indicators and evidence behind them, which is exactly what this position produces. Social topics may also appear through mobility, parental leave and inclusion commitments, though the emphasis is clearly environmental and reporting-centred.
What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?
The hardest part is almost certainly dependency without authority. The role coordinates CSRD work across business, IT, distribution, communication, HR, general services and legal and compliance teams that do not report to it, while Group deadlines are fixed. Getting accurate data on time from people whose priorities lie elsewhere is the daily difficulty, and it is precisely the profile requirement the posting stresses.
A second challenge is the auditability standard. Traceability, quality control and the ability to defend published figures to auditors turn a data request into a documented process. Late corrections, restated indicators and methodological changes between one exercise and the next are classic sources of tension, especially in a company where the reporting perimeter is still maturing after the 2021 move into Aéma Groupe.
Finally, the dual reporting cadence adds pressure. Groupe requests and Abeille Assurances' own sustainability report do not always share a timeline or a definition, so arbitrating between them, and explaining the arbitration, requires both rigour and a calm, convincing manner.
How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?
A typical day is a mix of coordination and data work. Mornings often go to follow-ups: checking whether a direction has returned its contribution, updating the annual CSRD planning, answering a request from Groupe Aéma, or preparing the agenda for an upcoming committee. These exchanges happen by Teams and email as much as in meetings, and much of the skill lies in knowing exactly what to ask and by when.
Mid-day and afternoon tend to be more technical. Consolidating ESG data in Excel, controlling figures, chasing inconsistencies with the contributing teams, drafting or refining indicators, and turning results into readable charts or slides for management. Around reporting milestones the rhythm shifts toward the sustainability report itself and its supporting deliverables.
The role also involves preparing and sometimes attending comités, which means producing decision supports and being able to explain a number if challenged. Variability comes from the calendar: Groupe deadlines, audit windows and the annual reporting cycle create peaks, while quieter periods go into improving processes, methods and tools. Bois-Colombes is the base, with collaboration across several directions and sites of the company.
What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?
The reporting perimeter is expanding rather than consolidating, which usually creates room. Someone who masters the CSRD chain inside Abeille Assurances, from data collection to published indicators, becomes a natural candidate for a wider role in the Groupe Aéma reporting or strategy function, or for a move toward the ESRS workstreams that support the CSRD.
A second route runs sideways into the businesses the role already serves: IT, distribution, HR or Legal and Compliance. A reporting professional who understands how a product, a contract or an HR policy generates the data has credibility in those directions that a pure specialist does not. Sustainable finance is a third path, given the company's ISR range and its Finance for Tomorrow involvement.
Growth here depends heavily on visibility. The role touches comités and decision-making supports, so the quality of what you put in front of management is itself a career argument. Alternatively, the knowledge accumulated on auditability and traceability travels well to consulting, auditors or other insurers facing the same first CSRD cycles.
The main stakeholders you might be interacting with
The immediate environment is the Direction de la Stratégie et de la RSE, where the role reports and where the RSE policy is designed. Within that team the main counterparts are whoever owns the CSRD workstream, plus colleagues handling strategy input and Groupe relations.
Most interactions are horizontal. The posting names the assurance business directions, IT, the distribution network, Communication, HR, General Services, and Legal and Compliance. Each of these contributes data or validation: HR supplies social indicators, IT supplies the systems and data flows, Legal and Compliance arbitrates on the boundaries of what can be published and how.
Outside the company, the relationship with Groupe Aéma matters most, through requests, consolidation requirements and shared deadlines. Auditors and assurance providers also enter the picture at the point where published information has to be defended, and they will examine the same data trail the role is responsible for building.
