Risk HUB

RISK is an integrated and independent control function of the BNP Paribas Group. It is the second line of defense on the risk management activities of the Group which are under its direct responsibilities, including credit and counterparty risk, market risk, funding and liquidity risk, interest rate and foreign exchange risks in the banking book, insurance risk, operational risk, and environmental and social risks.

RISK aims at being a partner of the businesses by contributing to their sustainable development, but also a gatekeeper to ensure risks taken remain compatible with the Group’s Risk Appetite and its strategy. 

RISK Iberian Hub Madrid is a transversal platform servicing the RISK Function by covering added-value activities around credit risk, market risk, operational risk and data protection. Offering a wide range of services to RISK teams, from consulting to cyber security going through data analysis, modelling or artificial intelligence.

Why Join Us?

ESG (Environmental, Social & Governance) topics are reshaping how financial institutions operate, assess risk, and engage with society. At BNP Paribas, we see ESG as a strategic priority and a core component of responsible risk management.

Our RISK ESG department—created in 2020—plays a central role in embedding ESG risk considerations across the organisation and strengthening our response to evolving supervisory expectations.

Within this department, the Regulatory & Implementation team ensures that ESG regulatory developments are anticipated, understood, and effectively integrated into the Group’s risk management framework.

We are now looking for a Senior ESG Analyst to join our Madrid office and contribute to these high‑impact missions.

About the Team: RISK ESG | Regulatory & Implementation team

You will join a dynamic, multicultural team of ESG specialists located in Paris and Madrid.
Our mandate is transversal, meaning you will interact daily with a broad community across the Group (RISK streams, Business Lines, Group Sustainability, Finance, etc.).

We work at the crossroads of regulation, risk methodology, ESG expertise, and strategic transformation, making our team an ideal place to grow both your analytical and collaborative skills.

Your Key Missions

1. Anticipate and Analyse New ESG Regulations

• Conduct regulatory watch, with a strong focus on upcoming and draft EU ESG regulations.
• Contribute to consultations, surveys, and advocacy positions in collaboration with Group DAI.
• Represent RISK in discussions with regulators, financial industry associations, and dedicated working groups.
• Disseminate regulatory insights through dashboards, briefings, trainings, and awareness sessions.

2. Drive the Implementation of ESG Requirements

• Support RISK teams in integrating new ESG expectations into the existing risk management framework.
• Lead gap analyses and coordinate remediation action plans.
• Participate in workshops to co‑design new methodologies, ESG tools, and best‑practice frameworks (e.g., materiality assessment, value chain analysis, transition plans, ESG risk drivers).
• Provide hands‑on support to teams facing complex implementation challenges.

3. Contribute to External ESG Risk Disclosures

• Coordinate inputs for mandatory and voluntary ESG risk reports.
• Ensure coherence and quality of contributions gathered from RISK teams worldwide.
• Support responses to ESG‑related surveys and questionnaires issued by extra‑financial rating agencies.
• Join industry working groups on ESG reporting implementation.

What You Bring

Colleagues appreciate your organisation skills, your ability to produce concise and insightful summaries, and your commitment to methodological rigor.
You are a strong communicator who enjoys interacting with diverse teams and co‑building solutions.

Above all, you value collaboration, inclusiveness, and collective success—key elements of our team culture.
