Working within a small, dedicated CSR team of three, you will be the driving force behind internal mobilization and environmental reporting. This hands-on role involves coordinating the group’s network of climate ambassadors, organizing educational workshops like the Climate Fresk, and managing the rollout of internal reporting tools to track key sustainability metrics. You will actively support the carbon footprint data collection, ensuring that strategy translates into measurable results across the group’s centenary banking network.

This position offers a rare chance to see how a historic financial institution transforms its heritage into a sustainable legacy. By bridging the gap between high-level ESG reporting and grassroots employee engagement, you will help embed social and environmental consciousness into the daily culture of a French banking group. Your work ensures that sustainability is not just a policy but a shared mission across every branch.

This suits someone who is highly organized and proactive, possessing strong communication skills and a genuine passion for environmental transitioning. If you enjoy translating complex data into engaging internal narratives, this role is for you.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The core of this role involves operationalizing the group's CSR strategy across its four pillars: committed employer, ethical partner, climate actor, and innovative banker. You will take charge of the internal animation of the Cap Climat ambassador network, which includes drafting articles for the intranet and organizing roundtables to raise awareness among employees. You will also play a critical role in environmental performance monitoring. This includes assisting in the implementation of internal reporting tools, tracking KPIs to evaluate the impact of CSR actions, and acting as the primary point of contact for the biennial carbon footprint exercise. Your data collection efforts will directly support executive decision-making processes. Beyond data and communication, you will manage educational initiatives such as the Fresque du Climat. This involves both participating in workshops and recruiting and training new facilitators within the company to ensure the climate transition message reaches every level of the organization.

Key learning opportunities for this job

This apprenticeship provides a comprehensive 360-degree view of CSR management in the banking sector. You will gain technical expertise in carbon accounting and ESG reporting frameworks, learning how to manage large-scale data collection from a variety of business units and external providers. You will also acquire change management skills by leading an ambassador network. Learning how to move beyond corporate jargon to create truly engaging content and workshops like the Fresque du Climat is a valuable asset for any future sustainability leader. The exposure to internal committees will also sharpen your ability to pitch strategic projects to senior leadership. Furthermore, the role offers deep insights into the regulatory landscape of sustainable finance. By performing competitive benchmarking and regulatory monitoring, you will understand how European standards like CSRD are reshaping the operations of financial institutions.

How does the ideal candidate look like (experience, skills)?

The ideal candidate is currently pursuing a Master’s degree (Bac+4 or Bac+5) in business, political science, or environmental management with a strong specialization in CSR. Since the role involves significant internal communication, excellent writing skills and the ability to synthesize complex information into clear presentations are essential. We look for a 'hands-on' personality—someone who is not afraid to dive into spreadsheets for the carbon footprint one hour and lead a lively workshop the next. Proficiency in the Office Pack and a solid level of English are required to navigate the various tools and industry benchmarks used by the team. Soft skills are just as important as technical ones. You should be curious, creative, and highly organized. Success in this role requires the ability to work independently while remaining collaborative, as you will be constantly interacting with various departments to collect data or launch new initiatives.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

To stand out, move beyond generalities about wanting to 'save the planet.' Show that you understand the specific challenges for the banking industry, such as the transition from financing traditional assets to sustainable investment. Mentioning your familiarity with tools like the Climate Fresk or carbon accounting methodologies will immediately validate your technical interest. Highlight any previous experience where you had to mobilize a community or lead a project from scratch. Since CCF is a 'human-sized' banking group with a century of history, demonstrating an appreciation for heritage combined with a forward-looking mindset will resonate with their culture. Tailor your CV to emphasize your writing and digital skills, as these are critical for the animation aspect of the role. In your cover letter, explain how you would approach the challenge of engaging banking professionals who may have varying levels of sustainability knowledge. Providing a concrete example of a creative way to present CSR data can show the 'hands-on' and innovative spirit the team is looking for.

What aspects of the company's sustainability is this role likely to focus on?

The role intersects with environmental, social, and governance goals, but there is a strong emphasis on internal decarbonization and culture shifting. You will likely focus on the 'Climate Actor' pillar by managing the carbon footprint (Bilan Carbone) and driving the internal group-wide awareness strategy through the Cap Climat program. On the social side, the 'Committed Employer' angle is key. You will be instrumental in social impact monitoring and ensuring that employees feel empowered and informed about the group’s CSR journey. This includes tracking social KPIs and managing the indicators that measure the success of internal engagement programs. Lastly, the role touches on responsible business practices. Through competitive benchmarking and supporting the 'Innovative Banker' pillar, you will help the team identify how the group can better align its product offerings with sustainable finance trends, ensuring the bank remains an ethical partner in a shifting market.

What are the main challenges someone in this role might face?

One of the primary challenges will be maintaining momentum for CSR across a large, established banking network. Transitioning from planning to action requires constant energy, and you may face some resistance or indifference from busy staff who do not prioritize sustainability in their daily tasks. Another challenge is the accuracy and collection of data. Gathering disparate data points for reporting and carbon footprints often involves chasing stakeholders across different departments, which requires persistence, tact, and very strong organizational skills to meet strict reporting deadlines. Finally, the role requires a high degree of intellectual agility. You will need to switch rapidly between highly technical regulatory monitoring and creative content creation. Finding the right balance between being a 'data expert' and a 'community animator' can be demanding but is essential for the role's success.

How could a typical day look like for someone in this position?

Your day might begin with drafting a punchy article for the company intranet about a recent CSR initiative or a global environmental event to keep the employees informed and inspired. This could be followed by a meeting with the Climate Ambassador network to brainstorm the next internal quiz or challenge. In the afternoon, you might shift to a more analytical mode, extracting and verifying data for the internal CSR reporting dashboard. This involves contacting different departments to follow up on the progress of their specific KPIs or troubleshooting issues with the reporting software. You might also spend an hour researching a competitor's latest sustainable finance report to prepare a benchmark for the next committee meeting. The day could end with the organization of a Climate Fresk workshop, checking the schedule for upcoming facilitators, and ensuring all materials are ready. The variety ensures that no two days are truly the same, oscillating between communication, data management, and event planning.

What are the opportunities for professional growth and development in this role?

This role is a significant career accelerator for someone looking to specialize in in-house corporate sustainability. Because the team is small (3 people), you will have high visibility and the chance to take real ownership of projects rather than just performing administrative back-office tasks. You will develop a specialized profile in ESG reporting and carbon footprint management, which are currently among the most in-demand skills in the finance sector. Successful completion of this apprenticeship could lead to more senior consultant or manager roles within CSR departments, particularly in financial services or large corporate entities. Additionally, there is the potential to become a certified Climate Fresk facilitator, a recognized credential that enhances your profile as a climate change educator. The analytical and project management skills gained here will be transferable to any strategic role within the broader 'Impact' sector.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

You will be working very closely with the CSR Manager and the CSR Project Officer who will provide mentorship and guidance. This small-team structure means you will be at the heart of the group's sustainability decision-making process from day one. External stakeholders include service providers for carbon footprinting and CSR reporting tools, where you will act as the technical point of contact. You will also interact with external environmental organizations or consultants when organizing training sessions or attending industry conferences and trade shows. Internally, your network will be vast. You will engage with the HR and Communication teams to align on internal messaging, and you will be the primary point of contact for the Cap Climat ambassadors across the group. Your work will also require interaction with various functional departments to collect the data necessary for the bank's non-financial reporting.
