Are you a highly experienced financials services professional with a proven track record of delivering significant change programs and the ability to build critical relationships with external regulators and other key stakeholders?

We are looking for an Lead Entity Controller who can:

• Lead the UBS Jersey location financial and regulatory reporting team, covering two significant Branches with a combined balance sheet of +$100bn (one existing, one new)
• Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, notably the local UBS Jersey Management Committee and the Jersey Financial Services Commission, building on the role of Finance as a critical partner for decision making in addition to delivering Finance’s core mandatory responsibilities
• Proactively manage competing deliverables including Group Finance’s increasing focus on artificial intelligence and the implementation of a new global ledger (AmpliFi), and oversee a continuous improvement program for Jersey’s reporting in keeping with its increasing importance to UBS Group
• Drive a scalable Jersey Finance function which can deliver the full suite of reporting for the two Jersey Branches without requiring incremental headcount

This Channel Islands location has its own local government, regulatory and taxation environment separate from the UK mainland. The Finance team lead needs to live locally in Jersey as a regulatory requirement and to manage its key stakeholders.
