Ensure compliance with Swiss financial services regulations (FINMA, AML, corporate governance) with 3rd party guidance. Maintain compliance records, prepare regulatory submissions, and coordinate with group compliance. Liaise with auditors, accountants, legal advisers, and other external partners. Coordinate audits, statutory filings, and financial reporting processes. Support accounting, bookkeeping, budgeting, and financial reporting in collaboration with group finance and local accountants. Prepare board materials, minutes, resolutions, and maintain statutory documentation.

Required Experience & Qualifications





5+ years of experience in administration, operations, compliance, or legal coordination within Swiss financial services. Experience in early-stage or small-company environments, ideally as a first or foundational hire. Strong understanding of Swiss regulatory requirements (FINMA, AMLA, company law). Experience working with auditors, accountants, legal advisers, and external service providers. Ability to read and interpret contractual and legal documents. Proficiency in English and German.
