Société Générale's ambition is based both on the business orientations that guide the influence that the Group seeks to have on the world: climate change, social innovation and sustainable development and three cross-functional areas that dictate the conduct of our business: customer satisfaction and protection, ethics and governance, and responsible employer matters.
We are looking for a motivated individual to join our Environment & Social Risk Team. The Environmental and Social Risks ("ESR") Team is part of SG's Risk Management division in the Americas Region (the "RISQ Division" or "RISQ").

RISQ's mission is to independently analyze, challenge, opine and monitor the risk-taking activities of the Business Lines in order to get the best possible outcome for the Bank. The RISQ division supports activities in the Americas Region (US, Canada and Latin America), which are almost exclusively Corporate & Investment Banking activities. Environmental & Social risks management consists of identifying, measuring, assessing, monitoring, controlling, and reporting the impact of environmental and social risk factors on all existing risks faced by SG Americas activities.

The V.I.E. Environmental and Social Risk Analyst will:

• contribute to the development of E&S risk assessment methodologies and tools
• contribute to the development of risk identification and assessment for E&S risk including the production of indicators and metrics
• assist the E&S Risk Team with the implementation of the E&S Risk Framework creation and maintenance of governance documents and preparation of reporting
