While detailed knowledge of key regulations in Europe, such as the Capital Requirements Regulation and the requirements such regulations impose e.g., Liquidity Coverage Ratio, Net Stable Funding Ratio etc, would be beneficial, it is not essential. Candidates should however have a strong interest in developing knowledge in this area. Candidates would ideally have experience in a Regulatory control / Product control function of a financial institution or have worked in a similar function, with exposure to a range of asset classes and businesses.
