A Geneva-based FINMA-regulated digital bank is looking for a Compliance & Legal Officer to support its Legal & Compliance function, with a strong focus on compliance, regulatory monitoring and business advisory. This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys fast-moving environments, digital banking, online trading and emerging topics such as digital assets.
Compliance and Legal Officer
Our client is a Geneva-based FINMA-regulated bank and part of an international financial services group active in online trading and investment solutions.
The bank operates in a highly digital environment, giving clients access to a broad range of financial markets through advanced trading platforms. Its activities sit at the intersection of banking regulation, financial innovation and technology, creating a dynamic environment where legal and compliance topics are closely connected to the business.
The organisation is entrepreneurial, fast-paced and undergoing several new initiatives, including developments linked to digital assets. This role will appeal to candidates who want more than a traditional compliance position and who are motivated by operational exposure, regulatory complexity and direct interaction with internal stakeholders.
Description
As Compliance & Legal Officer, you will support the Head of Legal & Compliance across a broad range of compliance, regulatory and legal matters.
Your responsibilities will include:
•
Provide second-line compliance support and advice to internal business and operational teams
•
Support the implementation, monitoring and documentation of compliance controls
•
Contribute to the review and update of internal policies, procedures and compliance frameworks
•
Monitor Swiss and relevant international regulatory developments and assess their impact on the bank's activities
•
Support regulatory analysis linked to new business initiatives, including digital assets and crypto-related topics
•
Assist with day-to-day legal and compliance matters in a fast-moving digital banking environment
•
Review, analyse and coordinate legal or contractual documentation when required
•
Work closely with onboarding, operations, risk and business stakeholders
•
Support internal projects, process improvements and regulatory change initiatives
•
Contribute to a smooth handover and ensure continuity across compliance and legal activities
•
Handle a mix of strategic, operational and administrative tasks as part of a lean team
Profile
The successful candidate will bring a strong compliance background, ideally gained within a bank, trading platform, fintech, broker, digital bank or financial institution exposed to investment products.
The ideal profile will include:
•
Previous experience in compliance within financial services, ideally in a FINMA-regulated environment
•
Good understanding of banking compliance, regulatory requirements and financial products
•
Exposure to online trading, CFDs, digital assets, crypto, brokerage or investment platforms would be a strong advantage
•
Legal background or legal training would be valuable, particularly for regulatory analysis and contract-related topics
•
Ability to understand complex regulatory topics and translate them into practical business guidance
•
Strong interest in digital banking, financial innovation and emerging regulatory topics
•
Hands-on, flexible and pragmatic working style
•
Comfortable with multitasking and working in a fast-paced, changing environment
•
Team-oriented personality with strong communication skills
•
Willingness to handle both high-value advisory work and more operational or administrative tasks
•
Fluent English and French are required
•
Immediate or short-notice availability would be a strong plus
This role is best suited to someone who enjoys interaction, complexity and variety, rather than a narrow or purely theoretical legal/compliance position.

This is an opportunity to join a FINMA-regulated digital bank in Geneva in a broad Compliance & Legal role with strong business exposure.
The successful candidate will benefit from:
•
A permanent position in a stable and regulated financial institution
