Internal mobility
At Pictet, we encourage internal mobility, not only because it increases opportunities for development but also because it enhances knowledge-sharing and cooperation across the Group. Each year dozens of new positions are offered internally before they are made public.
With 30 offices in 18 countries worldwide, there are opportunities for qualified and adaptable employees to gain international exposure through short/long-term secondments, permanent transfers, and temporary commuting. International assignments are always stimulating and demanding, driven as they are by changing business needs and the global nature of our activities.
We want to promote mobility not only within our departments and business lines, but also within our offices worldwide. There is no doubt that it brings value in the long term.

Testimonial
After eight years working in Compliance, Thierry joined the Human Resources team in 2016 as a specialist in operational risks and compliance. He talks about his internal transfer and imparts some precious advice.
Learning and relearning through internal mobility
Internal mobility gave me the chance to change career and challenge myself, while remaining in a familiar and dependable environment. I've built something new and developed my internal network with some enriching contacts. The most exciting thing is learning and relearning. It’s also part of the reason I’ve stayed at Pictet for 22 years!
Developing by learning new skills
Mobility also goes hand in hand with an opportunity to develop new skills: when I moved to Compliance in 2009, I was able to study for a Certificate of Advanced Studies at the University of Geneva. It was demanding because I was working in parallel. But now thanks to this training, I have a legal grounding and have been able to forge a network in this field.
How to make internal mobility work
Be open-minded, have a bit of happy-go-lucky attitude, know that you're going to learn a lot and be willing to adopt new ways of doing things.
Be brave, overcome any apprehension you might feel about going into a new field and grasp the new opportunities. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Be optimistic, go in with the right frame of mind and ensure you have the resources you need to succeed. One always knows what we're leaving behind but never what we stand to gain.
Be grateful, consider mobility as an opportunity to learn and expand your network. Recognise that we're fortunate to work for a group that offers people the chance to work in a number of different professions.
