(Senior) Consultant Corporate Onboarding & Advisory (f/m/d) – Corporate Clients / Legal Entities

Effective immediately, location Zug/Zurich.

What Awaits You?

Corporate clients are of central strategic importance to banks—yet establishing a business relationship with a legal entity is often still the slowest and most paper-intensive process within the institution. Together with our clients – banks and financial institutions in Switzerland and the German-speaking region – you will digitize the onboarding of companies: from AGs and GmbHs to associations and foundations, all the way to domiciliary companies and multi-level corporate structures. You will combine regulatory know-how with consulting expertise and technology, accompanying our clients from conceptualization through implementation to the final go-live. As a sparring partner for corporate client departments, you will also further develop the advisory process for businesses – ensuring that an account opening turns into a long-term client relationship.

Co-designing the advisory process for corporate clients: needs assessment for SMEs and larger enterprises, advisory journey, and cross-selling (payments, e-banking, cards, financing, pension provision)
Conceptualizing digital solutions based on our own solutions and those of our technology partners, as well as defining requirements and specifications
Supporting testing, training, and rollout – you empower corporate client advisors and back-office teams to confidently apply the new processes

Jointly driving the further development of twentysecond through your client relationships and the expansion of our corporate client offering
