The Head of RISK ESG in Madrid takes the lead on embedding environmental, social, and governance factors into the structural risk framework of a global financial powerhouse. You will manage a growing team of experts, acting as a bridge between the Madrid hub and central leadership in Paris and London to ensure risk management remains robust against emerging climate and social pressures. Your work involves translating high-level ESG strategy into actionable oversight and rigorous analytical reports for top-tier management.
This role is vital because it places you at the steering wheel of the transition to sustainable development within a systemic European bank. By identifying and mitigating ESG-related credit, market, and operational risks, you directly influence how capital is allocated toward a greener economy and ensure the institution remains resilient against physical and transition climate risks. It is a strategic gatekeeper position where technical risk expertise meets genuine planetary impact.
This suits someone who possesses extensive experience in banking risk or audit and thrives in a high-stakes, transversal environment. You should be a natural leader who enjoys coaching diverse teams while navigating complex regulatory landscapes across multiple European jurisdictions.
