Description
- Contribute to regulatory compliance advisory engagements for banks, insurers, asset managers and other financial intermediaries across Western Switzerland, with a focus on AML requirements.
- Deliver KYC and client remediation workstreams, including analysis, documentation review, issue identification and clear recommendations.
- Support clients in interpreting and implementing regulatory requirements and strengthening frameworks designed to prevent regulatory breaches, fraud and other unlawful or unethical conduct.
- Perform compliance and AML-related prudential audit procedures, assess the design and effectiveness of controls, and prepare concise audit documentation and reports.

- Ideally, practical exposure to the Swiss banking or financial services sector, whether gained in a bank, another financial institution or a consulting firm.
- Good understanding of Swiss banking regulation, particularly AML and KYC requirements; more experienced candidates should be able to apply this knowledge independently in client situations.
