workiva

Workiva is a leading cloud platform for financial reporting, ESG, audit, and risk management, empowering organizations with data integrity and transparency.

Workiva provides a cloud-based platform that connects data, workflows, and teams across finance, risk, and sustainability reporting. Large enterprises use it to prepare SEC filings, manage audit and compliance processes, and produce sustainability disclosures - all within a single governed environment with version control, real-time collaboration, and AI-assisted drafting.

Why it matters

As mandatory sustainability reporting expands - through frameworks like CSRD, GRI, and TCFD - companies face growing pressure to produce auditable, accurate ESG data alongside their financial statements. Workiva addresses this directly with tools for carbon accounting, double materiality assessments, sustainability framework mapping, and assured integrated reporting. The platform is designed to make ESG disclosures traceable and defensible, which matters as regulators and auditors scrutinize non-financial data with the same rigor applied to financial results.

Workiva serves over 6,600 global companies across banking, insurance, energy, and other sectors. Roles on the sustainability side of the business span carbon accounting solutions, ESG sales, and sustainability consulting - focused on helping clients navigate an increasingly complex reporting landscape.

How this is measured

We fetch every open role a company publishes and classify each one with an automated keyword-and-context filter. Roles that match sustainability, climate, environmental, or governance criteria are kept and counted as active; the rest are filtered out. This is one transparent signal of how much of a company's current hiring is sustainability-focused - it is not a verdict on the company, and it reflects only public job postings we have tracked, not the company's full operations.

The classifier is automated and imperfect: it can occasionally mis-classify an individual role, so treat small differences as noise. We only show this signal when we have screened enough roles for the numbers to be meaningful.
