Corporate Responsibility Specialist

Profile Summary: 

The Corporate Responsibility Specialist role reports into the head of Corporate Responsibility and supports the development and execution of various processes and projects to enhance performance across the Purpose, Talent & Inclusion organization. The Specialist will be a driven self-starter with an owner’s mindset: spot gaps, propose improvements, follow through without being chased, and balance speed vs. accuracy. They will quickly grow to be a subject matter expert in Voya’s reasonable business practices and system owner for all PTI data and reporting tools.  

Customer obsession is essential for this role, as the Corporate Responsibility Specialist will own the communications workflow for customer and prospect requests for proposals (RFPs) and build reusable, accurate content and data-backed responses. In this capacity, the Specialist will develop and maintain an understanding of Voya’s responsible business practices and core disclosures (marketing materials, regulatory reports, policies, statements, and other relevant resources). The responsibilities of this role will be shared across multiple teams working on corporate responsibility, inclusion, giving, volunteering, talent development and talent management.  

The Corporate Responsibility Specialist will have broad exposure to the enterprise by contributing to or being responsible for a variety of projects including the annual Impact Report, quarterly PTI Statement, environmental regulatory reporting, external surveys and awards, and internal requests for reports. The nature of this work requires a Specialist who sweats the details and executes with high quality and who is adaptable, curious, and AI-literate—who can turn ambiguous questions into clear deliverables, validate data and outputs, and continuously improve the way we work.
