Swiss Regulatory Reporting Expert - FiRE

This role combines Swiss prudential regulation expertise with hands-on ownership of the FiRE legal reporting platform and business analysis skills to translate regulation into technical requirements.

As a Swiss Regulatory Reporting Expert, you will be responsible for ensuring full and timely compliance with Swiss and Liechtenstein regulatory reporting requirements (SNB, FINMA, FMA, Basel IV, liquidity, large exposures, etc.) through the effective use, configuration, and enhancement of the FiRE reporting tool.

Your key tasks

• Own the end-to-end regulatory reporting process in FiRE for SNB statistics, Basel IV capital, liquidity ratios, large exposures, market and country risk, ensuring accuracy, completeness, and timely submission to the competent authorities
• Interpret regulatory texts (FINMA circulars, SNB guidelines, Basel standards) and translate them into clear business rules, data mappings, and technical specifications for implementation in FiRE and upstream systems
• Monitor regulatory developments affecting Swiss and cross-border reporting and assess their impact on existing FiRE configurations, reporting logic, and data requirements; drive or coordinate corresponding change initiatives

FIRE ownership and technical duties

• Configure and maintain FiRE (interfaces and client configuration), in close cooperation with IT and the software provider, to reflect current legal requirements and bank-specific needs
• Define, document, and prioritise detailed functional and technical requirements for changes to FiRE and upstream data sources, based on regulatory interpretation and operational constraints
• Perform and coordinate functional testing (SIT/UAT) for new FiRE releases and regulatory changes, including non-regression tests, reconciliation checks, and defect management until production sign-off

Governance, controls and stakeholders

• Design and operate data quality and control frameworks around FiRE (validation checks, reconciliations with general ledger and risk systems, sign-off workflows), and document procedures in line with internal policies and audit expectations
• Act as primary point of contact for internal stakeholders (Finance, Risk, IT, Front Office, Compliance, Legal) on Swiss regulatory reporting topics and for external stakeholders (FINMA, SNB, auditors) regarding FiRE-generated reports
