ISS STOXX empowers investors and companies to build for long-term and sustainable growth by providing high-quality data, analytics, and insight. We are committed to positively impacting the environment and society through our market-leading solutions and leading by example. Our clients have long turned to ISS STOXX to apply their corporate governance views, identify environmental, social, and governance risks, and manage their global proxy voting needs. Need a refresher on what Corporate Governance and Proxy Voting are? Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. Boards of directors are responsible for the governance of their companies. The shareholders’ role in governance is developing continuously with investors increasingly acting as responsible stewards and taking into account a wide range of ESG topics. This may include considerations such as the appointment of directors, approving executive remuneration schemes, M&A, and equity issuances. Shareholders are invited by public companies they have shares in to vote on a wide range of topics during annual general meetings and special meetings. They can delegate their voting power to a representative, who will then be considered a proxy. Here at ISS STOXX, we provide the research, insight and recommendations for our clients to make informed voting decisions. Enter the world of corporate governance and responsible investment and jumpstart your career by gaining exposure to the fundamental affairs of businesses and economies on a global scale. What you will do ISS STOXX seeks a pool of talented and self-motivated research trainees for February 2027. Our trainees will be assigned to dynamic markets (Greece, Malta, Turkey, and Cyprus) and guided by our experienced analysts. As a Corporate Governance Benchmark Research Trainee, you will become an integral part of the team with the crucial role of helping deliver data, research, and vote recommendations to our clients, that are institutional shareholders. The traineeship will take place during “proxy voting season.” Our goal is to support our clients in making informed voting decisions on that occasion. As part of the ISS STOXX team, you will, along with others, analyze governance structures and performance of publicly listed companies and provide investors with the appropriate vote recommendations. Using the latest technology and analyst expertise on corporate governance, you and the team will prepare reports detailing the analyses of general meeting agendas, and explaining why a particular vote recommendation was given. What you will bring to ISS STOXX: Fluent in English (both spoken and written) and Greek and/or Turkish. A relevant Bachelor's or Master’s degree in Law, Economics, Finance, or Political Science. A prior experience in a relevant area to corporate governance, will be considered as an advantage. A strong analytical ability, numeracy, strong oral and written communication skills. The ability to assimilate large quantities of information, work independently and take initiative while also being a team player. An organized and structured mind. But above all else we are most interested in the things that make you, you. The unique personal qualities, extracurricular activities and accomplishments that show who you are as a person and what value you could bring to the team.
