- A desire to solve problems, taking the initiative to obtain the required information where necessary, innovating where appropriate and following issues through to resolution or hand-over to suitable responsible parties.
- A process-oriented mindset, who can design, review, manage and document risk related processes involving internal and external stakeholders.
- Ability to work closely within the Zürich-based Risk team, as well as with colleagues in other teams and locations.
