Event Manager (m/f/d) 60%

About the job

Cyber risks are among the greatest challenges for the financial sector today. Attacks are becoming more targeted, and their impacts more far-reaching: they can significantly affect the stability and reputation of the Swiss and Liechtenstein financial centres. For this reason, the Swiss FS-CSC association was founded in April 2022 as a public-private partnership. Its aims are, on the one hand, to strengthen the resilience of the financial sector against cyber risks and, on the other, to establish a joint structure for information exchange and crisis management.

Would you like to bring together experts from the financial world, cybersecurity, and politics through the association's events and thus contribute to the cyber resilience of the Swiss and Liechtenstein financial centres? Then an exciting role with plenty of personal responsibility awaits you at our young, dynamic association, where organisational talent, initiative, and a good dose of improvisational skill are required.
