Working at Zürcher Kantonalbank: #mehrkönnen
In German, #mehrkönnen means «to accomplish more»: push more, develop more, decide more, implement more. As a universal bank with a broad range of products and services, we have remained true to our claim of being the bank for all residents of Zurich ever since we were originally founded. In today’s complex working environment, however, one thing is clear: as an employer, we want to accomplish more.
We focus on personal and professional skills of our employees and offer them the freedom and resources they need to develop their ideas and initiate sustainable innovations. This is because we understand that the more each individual can achieve, the more we can achieve as a whole. Join us in shaping the bank of tomorrow. A bank that uses the latest findings and technologies to be a true partner for everyone: future-oriented and close to its clients – an environment in which employees can accomplish more. Do you also want to accomplish more? #mehrkönnen
We have a lot to offer
Employees and managers talk to one another about the issues that concern us: about opportunities to develop as individuals and as a team. We see the fact that we are different as an advantage – which is why we promote people with professional and social skills as well as personality. Fair pay is something we offer as a matter of course, as are flexible working models.
