AXA Climate has developed complete business lines to help tackle climate change adaptation (Climate School, Insurance, Consulting for Industry/Agri/Finance/Public sector). Globally, we are a team of >150 climate experts, headquartered in Paris, spread over 5 continents and driven by the same desire for impact. Our purpose is to help Planet Earth become a true stakeholder of all companies, in the same way that employees, customers and shareholders are!

A third of AXA Climate team-members are dedicated to help public and private stakeholders understand their climate risks and adapt to climate change: that’s our consulting business.

AXA Climate initial and core expertise is on climate physical risks, but our value proposition includes today transition risks, decarbonisation, ESG, biodiversity and Sustainable Finance.

You will join the Financial Services Advisory team whose mission is to redirect financial flows towards environmental and low carbon transition. In that mission, you will support investors (in Private Equity, Infrastructure, and real estate), as well as banks and institutional investors. To increase the impact of our work, you will be also working with the investee companies, as well as with the AXA Climate teams dedicated to other sectors (Public Sector, Industry and Agriculture/Agronomy) and transversal teams (mainly data analysts and scientists).  

As a Low Carbon Transition consultant, you will work in a growing field of expertise, with both new and repeat clients. You will also be able to contribute to sectoral working groups (e.g. France Invest)

To deliver, as a leader, consulting missions to appraise, quantify and monetize risks and opportunities emerging from the Low Carbon transition, in line with the TCFD recommendations and the CSRD directive. This includes scenario analysis, leading strategic interviews with clients’ representatives and facilitating collaborative workshops.
