2027 Graduate Talent Program - Group Liquidity & Funding Controlling

Your role

What happens when billions in cash flows move across a global bank every day, and how do you make sense of it all? How do you ensure a bank has the right liquidity and funding to support its businesses while remaining financially resilient?

Join Group Liquidity & Funding (L&F) Controlling and find out.

We’re looking for an ambitious graduate to join our 2027 Graduate Talent Program. You’ll gain hands-on exposure to key liquidity and funding frameworks, including the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR), while contributing to both our day-to-day controlling activities and initiatives transforming how Group Finance operates. From understanding granular financial data and strengthening controls to simplifying processes and applying AI to analyze complex data sets and develop new analytical approaches, you’ll have the opportunity to learn how L&F is managed from end to end.

You’ll get to:

• build expertise in liquidity and funding, gaining hands-on exposure to key financial and regulatory metrics such as LCR and NSFR
• support our ongoing L&F Controlling integration agenda by creating transparency over critical data flows between systems, onboarding granular data into our core calculation environment, enhancing controls and streamlining calculation and reporting processes
• develop the ability to turn complex financial data into clear insights, working with Finance teams and business stakeholders globally
• prepare robust internal control documentation, investigate issues and present relevant topics to senior stakeholders
• see how financial information supports senior decision-making, including within the Group CFO organization and Business Division CFO teams
• use AI-enabled tools to accelerate research, analysis and reconciliation while applying sound judgement and appropriate controls
• help design and prototype new AI-enabled workflows, analytical applications and controls

Your team

You will be part of the Liquidity & Funding Controlling team, working in Zurich, within the Group Controlling organization. We are an international team working at the intersection of Finance, Treasury, Risk, regulation, data and technology. We turn complex financial data and regulatory requirements into clear, reliable insights that support management decision-making and protect the firm’s financial reputation.
You’ll work with colleagues and senior stakeholders across the Group, develop deep expertise in liquidity and funding, and gain exposure to how financial information moves from granular data through calculation and controls to senior management reporting. At the same time, you’ll help us make our processes smarter, more transparent and more efficient through simplification, automation and AI.

Your expertise

We’re looking for a candidate who:

• has completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree and has met all graduation requirements by the program start date; a background in Finance, Accounting, Economics, a quantitative discipline or another field that demonstrates strong analytical skills would be an advantage
• graduated within the last 24 months and has no more than two years of full-time professional experience
• has a strong academic track record, with a minimum GPA of 4.5 on the Swiss grading scale, or equivalent
• is curious and analytically minded, enjoys working with data and can structure open-ended problems and connect quantitative findings to business decisions
• takes ownership and follows through, combining a strong delivery mindset with accuracy and attention to detail
• thinks critically and constructively, asks thoughtful questions and looks for better ways of doing things
• is adaptable and can prioritize effectively when faced with competing demands
• communicates clearly and enjoys collaborating with people from different backgrounds and areas of expertise
• has practical experience using AI-enabled tools for data analysis and problem-solving, including working with large or complex data sets, and can critically assess AI-generated outputs rather than simply accepting them, applying sound judgement and responsible-use principles
• demonstrates integrity, accountability, commitment and a collaborative mindset
• has excellent English skills; German is an advantage

Start date: 1 February 2027
