- Draft, review, and finalize formal responses, regulatory filings, and statements, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and professional diplomacy.
- Establish and enforce a rigorous tracking system to guarantee that all regulatory and audit inquiries are answered strictly within required timelines.
- Critically review all outgoing regulatory communication to ensure the content reflects the institution's strategic goals, current management directives, and internal risk policies.
- Collaborate closely with internal departments (Risk Management, Compliance, Finance, Legal, Operations and Internal Audit) to gather necessary data and synthesize complex, multi-disciplinary information into cohesive regulatory responses.
- Prepare briefings and advise the Management Board on ongoing regulatory dialogues, potential areas of friction, and recommended communication strategies.
- Coordinate the end-to-end lifecycle of external audits and regulatory inspections.
- Manage the secure and structured provision of documentation and data to auditors.
- Oversee the internal tracking of audit findings and regulatory mandates, ensuring that remediation plans are communicated effectively back to the regulators.
Requirements

- 7+ years of professional experience in Regulatory Affairs, Compliance, Legal, or Audit within the financial services sector or at a Big 4 auditing/consulting firm.
- In-depth, practical knowledge of the German and European banking regulatory frameworks (e.g., KWG, MaRisk, CRR/CRD, WpHG, and relevant BaFin circulars).
- Proven experience in managing complex, time-sensitive, cross-functional projects, particularly involving regulatory requests or audit management.
- Fluent-level German language skills (mandatory for formal legal/regulatory correspondence) and fluent English, with an exceptional command of written business and legal terminology in both languages.
- Exceptional interpersonal skills with the ability to navigate sensitive dialogues with authoritative external bodies and handle high-pressure audit situations smoothly.
- Ability to distill complex, technical, or legal issues into clear, strategically aligned, and persuasive management summaries and regulatory responses.
