  • You will act as a key point of contact for Swiss and cross-border regulatory matters, in particular with regard to FinSA, MiFID and CRD VI.
  • In day-to-day business, you will handle enquiries and assessments relating to current regulatory (cross-border) topics, and develop practical, risk-based solutions.

Requirements
