  • Strong knowledge of Basel regulatory frameworks, including capital adequacy, liquidity management, leverage requirements, ICAAP, and risk-weighted asset (RWA) management.
  • Thorough understanding of banking regulations, IFRS, prudential guidelines, and corporate governance principles.
  • Experience engaging with regulators and overseeing compliance with local and international banking regulatory requirements.
  • Proven leadership experience at a senior executive level, preferably within a regulated banking environment.
  • Exceptional analytical, strategic thinking, and decision-making skills.
  • Strong stakeholder management, communication, and influencing capabilities.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
