Know more about the role
Hear from our people
I work for the Outside Counsel Management team in Group General Counsel (Legal). My team manages law firms hired around the world by Legal department. We cooperate with UBS In-house Counsels in choosing the best vendors in a cost efficient way. The area of our tasks is very wide, as we are responsible for vendor risk and contract management, annual vendor meetings, financial forecast, or artificial intelligence projects etc.. I like working in UBS not only for the interesting job I have, but also for the different opportunities that I can get after work, such as UBS networks, like ArtDecoder, or Trekking section and volunteering projects that CSR organizes for local communities.
