Finding a job

Finance is changing, becoming increasingly digitalised, sustainable and transparent and a new professional culture is increasingly becoming the norm. Due to this, a wide range of skills, both soft and hard, are critical for the future finance professional. These skills range from communication, relationship management and marketing & sales to data analysis, sustainable finance, programming and financial modelling. Alongside this change in finance, Luxembourg’s financial centre has also been climbing up the value chain of financial services over recent years.

Luxembourg has grown into a regulatory, risk management and compliance competence centre. Many firms have built up teams in Luxembourg which serve as the group’s regulatory nerve centre and global control tower. Since the financial crisis, risk and compliance functions have come to play a central role in the global operations of financial institutions. As a result, the functions performed in Luxembourg are becoming key to the global operations of these groups, which increasingly assign these functions a more prominent middle-office role.

More and more front-office functions, as well as an increasing number of key decision-making roles, are operating out of Luxembourg. Whether it is client relations managers that serve large banks from their Luxembourg hub or investment advisors and sales teams for asset management firms, or dealmaking functions for PE houses. The advantages of Luxembourg’s multi-cultural and multilingual ecosystem also apply to these activities.
