Senior Regulatory Policy Specialist #190767

Your field of responsibility

As part of our Regulatory Assurance team that is the center of in-house expertise on regulatory capital and liquidity rules, you have the exciting and challenging opportunity to work closely with senior management in front office teams and support areas of the finance and risk divisions to advise on capital, liquidity and balance sheet implications of proposed trades and to design capital efficient structures. You will act as contact for regulatory policy interpretation questions arising on existing and new regulations (including during implementation) – principally relating to capital adequacy, leverage ratio and large exposures, but also to liquidity and other areas of the prudential regime. It is a key role in the definition of an internal capital and liquidity reporting policy framework for which you stay on top of external developments, analyse impacts of new rules and define in-house interpretations. You will have the opportunity to practice your presentation skills and ability to explain complex regulatory subject matters to our internal stakeholders. You will contribute to the relationship management with local regulators, external auditors and advisers, and represent Credit Suisse at industry working groups.
