Compliance Officer (German speaker)

Partners Group, a global financial institution with its Swiss headquarters in Baar–Zug, is expanding its compliance team and seeking a German-speaking Compliance Officer to join on site in Baar. The role focuses on regulatory compliance in asset management and suits someone who works well independently but also collaborates with international, multidisciplinary teams. The company values people who want to grow within a fast-moving, professional environment.

The successful candidate will support the Head of Compliance Switzerland, based in Zug, and will coordinate with Partners Group’s Global Heads of Compliance in Zug and London. The focus is on Swiss and European regulations, ensuring the business stays aligned with applicable laws while protecting the group’s reputation. You would be joining a diverse, global Compliance team in a dynamic, expanding company.

If you enjoy working across borders, staying ahead of regulatory changes, and applying practical compliance solutions in a fast-growing setting, this could be a good fit.

Guarding Swiss and European rules in a growing team

Your day-to-day will include maintaining Partners Group's compliance monitoring program and the related risk assessment for Switzerland, as well as keeping compliance systems and controls up to date while conducting investigations as needed. You’ll draft and review periodic compliance reports, directives and procedures, and help coordinate regulatory filings and reporting. Projects that shape how regulations are applied, such as AIFMD II and SFDR II, will involve you from planning through implementation. You’ll also work with internal and external auditors, preparing the necessary documentation for regulatory audits, and you’ll advise on marketing activities by reviewing marketing materials. Part of the role includes performing AML checks for Partners Group AG and staying current with regulatory developments in Switzerland and across Europe.

What you must have

• A degree in law, business administration, or finance, with at least five years of hands-on experience in compliance, legal, or audit roles within the asset management industry
• An entrepreneurial, analytical mindset with the ability to work independently and push through process improvements in a dynamic setting
• A genuine interest in using new technologies to streamline compliance work and the willingness to partner with IT and business-application specialists to automate workflows
• Strong critical thinking and excellent communication skills in German and English, in both written and spoken form
• A self-motivated, fast-learning profile with solid analytical, methodical, and problem-solving abilities

Extras that help you stand out

• Experience contributing to regulatory projects such as AIFMD II or SFDR II
• Exposure to AML checks or related regulatory audits
• Familiarity with coordinating regulatory filings or reporting in a multi-stakeholder setting

Pay, benefits and practical details

The role comes with competitive pay and performance-based bonuses, plus a daily lunch allowance. It offers a global professional environment with international exposure and a collaborative culture, along with opportunities to learn from industry leaders and seasoned professionals. On-site facilities include a modern building, a variety of on-site dining options, and a gym with fitness classes. The company supports community engagement through office events and team activities, and it provides comprehensive career development through hands-on training, mentoring programs, and the PG Academy learning platform. There is a sabbatical program: one month off after every five years of service. The position is onsite in Baar, Switzerland.

Advice for applicants

Lead with your degree and your asset-management compliance experience. On your resume, place your degree details and five years plus of relevant work up front, then highlight a concrete example where you delivered a compliance process improvement or helped implement a new procedure.

In interviews, prove the must-have skills with real stories. Describe a time you independently drove a process to completion, how you automated a step in a workflow, and how you collaborated with IT or business-app specialists to make it happen.

Be ready to discuss Swiss and European regulatory topics, AML checks, and how you’ve handled marketing material reviews or regulatory filings. Bring specifics about how you stay current with evolving rules and what sources you rely on.

Ask a targeted question about the team’s structure and projects. For example, you could inquire how the Swiss team collaborates with the London-based team on regulatory initiatives like AIFMD II and SFDR II, and how they measure success in regulatory compliance initiatives.
