Job Purpose

Our aim is to play a key role in financing the transition to a greener and more sustainable world. Part of that involves encouraging companies in their transition journey through stewardship and focused shareholder engagement. This is a central pillar of responsible investment at AXA IM, and we therefore continuously review ways to make our stewardship strategy as efficient and impactful as possible.

There are three essential ways to do this: clear objectives communicated to management; regular meetings to verify and evaluate progress and voting with conviction or pursuing other escalation techniques when required.

Our stewardship activities and active dialogue with companies allows us to effectively monitor our investments, and ensure we maintain open channels which can enable change to the benefit of society, the planet – and ultimately our clients.

The Stewardship Analyst will play an important role in implementing AXA IM’s stewardship strategy.
