Intern – Group Regulatory Strategy/ Government Relations (f/m/d)

Constituting the key vehicle for interest representation, Government Relations acts as the gateway to the political and regulatory sphere. Bringing together an international team of experts on legislative and political processes at regional, national, supranational and global level, the Section designs and implements DBG’s advocacy strategies concerning key regulatory and political issues. Deploying a multitude of instruments, Government Relations leverages DBG’s business strategy by mitigating risks and developing opportunities in the political and regulatory context. The Section provides qualitative and timely information throughout the whole legislative lifecycle to ensure informed engagement, and represents DBG’s interests in associations such as the World Federation of Exchanges (WFE), the Federation of European Securities Exchanges (FESE), the European Central Securities Depositories Association (ECSDA) and the European Association of CCP Clearing Houses (EACH). Coordinating the group-wide interaction with political and regulatory stakeholders, Government Relations is steered out of Brussels and stretches across Berlin, Eschborn and Luxembourg.
