Key Accountabilities

In this role you will be the primary project manager for the execution of capital market transactions including equity, hybrid debt, senior debt and related hedging transactions. You will manage project teams consisting of internal and external lawyers, tax, controlling and regulatory personnel. Your main tasks will be to evaluate alternatives and structure financings that are optimized from a cost, rating agency, regulatory, tax and accounting perspective while also taking into account the dynamics of the global capital markets. We will count on you to gain in depth knowledge of the structuring of hybrid equity and granting of equity recognition from regulators and rating agencies. Through your interaction with advisory banks you will be expected to have a view on funding conditions at all times and also act as a conduit for innovative ideas related to the ever changing regulatory and rating agency environment. Furthermore you will be responsible for project budgets and annual team budgets for externals.

Skills and Experience

To your CFA or MBA in Finance (or equivalent) you should add at least 5 years of work experience in a bank or the treasury/funding function of a multinational corporation. You should have demonstrable people or project management experience in addition to your solid knowledge of debt capital markets and the associated legal, tax and accounting issues. A thorough understanding of rating agency models and familiarity with the approach of regulators (especially under Solvency II and Swiss Solvency Test) would be extremely useful. You will also profit from a strong understanding of Bloomberg, sound excel skills and fluent written and spoken English. German is an advantage. We expect a highly resilient, pro-active and trustworthy personality experienced in working with multi-disciplinary teams and under tight deadlines. Your excellent interpersonal, communication and negotiation skills combined with accurate, persistent and efficient working methods will round out your profile.
