The role:
We are looking for a Compliance Officer to join our Zurich team. This is a hands-on role with real breadth, sitting close to the business and its clients rather than at a distance from them. You will work across the full client life cycle, contributing to transaction monitoring, and day-to-day compliance operations covering FinSA, cross-border matters, and FINMA requirements. This position reports directly to the COO and Head of Compliance, giving you genuine influence over how the firm develops its compliance and risk framework.

- Ensure and perform transaction monitoring according to the applicable AML regulation
- Support the Head of Compliance in various compliance-driven projects
- Conduct controls according to the internal control system and help to continuously develop the company’s risk management framework.
- Data protection and data handling
Your profile:
- 3-5 years’ experience in a similar compliance role with a Swiss-based wealth manager or bank
- Master’s degree in law or business administration
- Knowledgeable in the areas of AML, KYC, FinSA, FinIA, FINMA and cross-border regulation related to portfolio management services
- Ability to analyze and work with CID and bank transaction data

- A trustworthy and open-minded self-starter with good interpersonal and communication skills
- Strong problem-solving and analytical skills along with great attention to detail
