Analyst / Associate, Sustainable Finance – Deal Origination

MUFG • Singapore • Added on Oct 29, 2026
Apply →

This Singapore-based role helps originate and execute sustainable finance transactions for clients across APAC, with a focus on Southeast Asia. The analyst or associate prepares tailored financing proposals, supports deal documentation, tracks the pipeline and turns sustainability and financial information into material for clients and senior leaders.

The work connects banking activity with climate and sustainability standards, including frameworks for green and sustainability-linked bonds and loans. By advising clients and supporting financing in hard-to-abate sectors, the team can help direct capital toward activities aligned with defined sustainability criteria. The role also keeps colleagues and clients informed about regional regulatory and market developments, where sound analysis matters to credible financing decisions.

This suits someone with investment banking or corporate finance experience, a working knowledge of sustainable finance principles, and confidence with Excel, financial analysis and presentation writing. It will appeal to a detail-oriented communicator who can manage several transaction workstreams and engage professionally with clients and colleagues across APAC.

Job FAQs

What are the main missions and responsibilities of this role?

The role supports client origination through tailored financing proposals and marketing materials, then helps progress transactions through sustainability frameworks, Second Party Opinions and facility documentation. It also tracks the pipeline and closed deals, prepares KPI dashboards and senior management presentations, and shares relevant market and regulatory developments. A broader aim is to help the team focus engagement on strategic clients, hard-to-abate sectors and industry champions while applying appropriate sustainability risk considerations to financing opportunities.

Key learning opportunities for this job

The role could build practical knowledge of sustainable bond and loan frameworks, including how principles and standards are applied in client proposals and transaction documentation. Exposure to APAC regulations and market developments may deepen understanding of regional sustainable finance practices. Working across origination, execution, reporting and client engagement could also develop financial analysis, transaction coordination and concise executive communication. The posting mentions continuous training, but does not identify specific courses or certifications.

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

The listing seeks an analyst or associate with at least two years of experience for analyst level or three years for associate level, ideally in investment banking or corporate finance with sustainable finance exposure. A bachelor's degree is required, and knowledge of ICMA, APLMA, Climate Bonds Initiative standards and TCFD guidance is relevant. Strong Excel and financial analysis skills, advanced PowerPoint capability, attention to detail and project coordination are important. Clear communication and relationship skills would help someone work across client groups and internal teams; additional APAC business languages are valued, while English is required.

Advice to stand out and make a successful application

Make the application specific to sustainable finance deal work. Describe relevant transactions or proposals you have supported, your contribution to execution, and how you applied bond or loan principles, Climate Bonds Initiative standards or TCFD guidance. Be precise about your role and avoid implying direct transaction ownership if you provided support. Show evidence of translating financial and sustainability data into client-ready analysis or senior presentations. Prepare to discuss how you would assess sustainability risks in financing, keep current with APAC developments and coordinate documentation across a live deal.

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

The sustainability focus is on financing frameworks and transaction support, rather than direct operational emissions management. The team engages with clients on sustainable finance proposals and standards for bonds and loans, while considering sustainability risks associated with financed projects or assets. The stated focus on APAC, particularly Southeast Asia, and engagement with hard-to-abate sectors suggests the role may help connect financing activity with regional transition priorities. The listing does not name specific company emissions targets or sector projects.

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

A likely challenge is balancing commercial client needs with the requirements of sustainable finance frameworks and credible treatment of sustainability risks. Frameworks, regulatory expectations and market practices can differ across APAC, so proposals may require careful research and clear explanations. Deal execution also involves coordinating documentation, data, client inputs and internal reviews under time pressure. Maintaining accurate pipeline and KPI reporting alongside transaction work could require disciplined prioritisation.

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

A typical day could combine client or internal discussions about financing opportunities with research into relevant standards and regional developments. The analyst or associate might prepare a pitch deck, assess data for a proposal, update pipeline records or help progress framework and facility documents. There may also be time for KPI reporting, a senior management presentation or coordination with colleagues on a regional initiative. The balance would likely shift with client priorities and the stage of active transactions.

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

The role could provide a path to deeper transaction responsibility as experience grows, from supporting proposals and execution toward managing larger workstreams and client discussions. The combination of investment banking and sustainability standards may also support later specialization in sustainable finance origination or advisory. Regional exposure could build familiarity with APAC markets and sector transition questions. MUFG mentions ongoing training, though the listing does not specify formal promotion timelines, certification support or particular career pathways.

The main stakeholders you might be interacting with

Likely stakeholders include sustainable finance colleagues and the wider Asian Investment Banking Division, alongside senior managers who use pipeline reporting and executive presentations. The role also engages with strategic clients, industry champions and organizations in hard-to-abate sectors. Transaction work may involve coordination with internal teams and external parties contributing to sustainability frameworks, Second Party Opinions and facility documentation. The exact counterparties and approval structure are not specified.
