Your area of work:

As the Chief of Staff, you act as a trusted partner to the CFO of Deutsche Börse Group, a global leader in capital markets.

• CFO communication: Prepare presentations, social media posts and interviews in close collaboration with Group Communications
• Network management: Structure, manage and prioritize the CFO’s network, contacts and appointments
• Transformation: Coordinate AI efforts within the CFO area by tracking progress, sharing best practices, supporting prototyping and change management, incl. development of an AI Adoption Agent to track usage and benefits
