UBS Career Comeback

Our door is always open for those looking to carry on where they left off.

Purpose. Presence. Possibilities. We’ve got a lot to offer.

On a break, or looking for a change in direction, and ready to come back to a corporate environment? Searching for the right role or opportunity? With our strong culture, great reputation and lots of opportunities to build your career, this is the perfect place to take your potential and experience to the next level.

Opportunities ahead

Whether you work with clients, manage risks (or projects, or people), analyze data or write code, you’ll find interesting opportunities in all of our business areas and regions. Check out our current open roles (all of which are open to returners).

Come and join us

We’re (specifically) looking to hire experienced professionals who want to return to work either full- or part-time.

Who qualifies as a “comebacker”? If you have been on a career break for two years or more, are ready to make a complete career shift back into the corporate world, if you are an entrepreneur and want to (re)start your career, or if you are ready to make an upgrade to a more complex role – we have the tools to get you started. And, unlike our competitors, we’re all in – no temp roles or “returnships” for us. We’re hiring talented people who want to build long-term careers here. So, if you have the right level of skill and experience, one of our many permanent roles will give you the perfect opportunity to thrive with us.

You can join us any time and any place globally, in any of our business divisions and in any region. If you’re an experienced professional who meets the criteria above, Career Comeback can help you get acclimated, connected and up to speed quickly.

As a returner, you may be looking for both flexibility and empowerment in your daily work. We support hybrid working for most roles, and we’re also open to alternative work arrangements like part-time working and job-share arrangements. Depending on your role and preferences, you’ll define your own work model.
