  • Operate as part of the second line of defense, ensuring independent monitoring and oversight of the first line's risk and control management practices.
  • Provide risk assessments, test results, and control evaluations to senior management and relevant stakeholders.
  • Collaborate closely with teams across the three lines of defense to ensure alignment with strategic risk objectives.
  • Prepare detailed reports and risk assessments on the effectiveness of controls and associated risks for management and governing bodies review.
  • Provide recommendations for risk mitigation and control improvements to reduce operational and compliance risks.
  • Communicate effectively with stakeholders at various levels, including business units, senior management, and external auditors.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor's degree in Finance, Business Administration, Accounting, Risk Management, or a related field is highly desirable.
  • Minimum 3 years of experience within a private banking or financial services industry with at least 1 year in operational risk management, internal control monitoring, or audit, with a focus on control testing and risk assurance.
  • Good understanding of the three lines of defense model in private banking.
  • Expertise in control testing methodologies, risk and control self-assessments, and reporting.
  • Strong knowledge of banking operations, regulatory requirements (e.g., FINMA, Basel III), and industry standards.
  • Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills.
  • Proficiency with MS Office Suite; knowledge of data analysis and GRC software is a plus.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and French; additional languages are a plus.
  • Ability to establish and maintain effective collaboration with a diverse community of stakeholders.
  • A strong team player who is reliable and independent, able to prioritize and work to demanding deadlines.
