FGS Global, a leading stakeholder strategy consultancy, is hiring a Senior Consultant or Director for its Transaction & Financial Communication team in Zurich. The role involves advising companies, boards, and investors on M&A, IPOs, capital measures, activist situations, and restructurings, requiring at least 6–8 years of experience in transaction communications, investment banking, or investor relations, along with fluency in German and English.
The position underscores the growing demand for specialized financial communications expertise in Switzerland and Europe, particularly amid heightened geopolitical and economic uncertainty. This development follows recent warnings from European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on April 13, 2026, about the economic impact of the Middle East conflict, which threatens supply chains and price stability for energy and manufacturing sectors. Similarly, on the same day, France Chimie urged EU action as the conflict worsens restructuring in the European chemical industry, with production declining 2.4% in 2025.
The hiring also aligns with broader EU efforts to boost competitiveness and investment. On March 31, 2026, Commissioner Wopke Hoekstra proposed a strengthened Clean Industrial Deal and Capital Market Union to enhance energy independence and industrial competitiveness. Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque on March 24, 2026, advocated for a Savings and Investments Union to scale up EU-wide financing for innovation. These initiatives aim to address the scale-up gap and attract institutional investment, creating opportunities for financial communications advisors.
FGS Global, formed from the merger of Finsbury, The Glover Park Group, Hering Schuppener, and Sard Verbinnen & Co., operates globally with offices in major financial centers. The Zurich role will involve managing media relations, regulatory compliance (SIX, FINMA, EU Market Abuse Regulation), and business development, contributing to the firm's growth in the Swiss market.
