YOUR JOB IN A NUTSHELL
Join BNP Paribas Fortis, where compliance isn’t just a function-it’s a safeguard!
Our Compliance Department operates as an independent control function, ensuring regulatory adherence while protecting the bank’s reputation.
As a Compliance Controls & Risk Management (CCRM) officer, you’ll play a pivotal role in identifying compliance risks through rigorous analysis of business processes and control frameworks.
Your mission:
- Assess & strengthen – Evaluate control effectiveness and guide business lines in addressing risks.
- Challenge & improve – Question existing processes, highlight weaknesses, and drive pragmatic solutions.
- Collaborate & influence – Work with stakeholders to foster a risk-aware, efficient compliance culture.
We’re looking for a senior auditor or control professional—someone with a razor-sharp analytical mind and a knack for partnering with business teams to mitigate compliance risks.
If that sounds like you, bring your expertise to our team and help shape the future of compliance at BNP Paribas Fortis!
AND IN DETAIL
As a senior CCRM officer within Compliance, your core responsibilities will include:
- Conducting assessment of business processes and control frameworks to identify, on a risk based approach, compliance risks, gaps, and inefficiencies.
- Analyzing end-to-end processes to assess their alignment with regulatory requirements and internal policies.
- Documenting findings in a clear, structured, and actionable manner for business lines and management.
- Executing first and second-line compliance controls with a risk-based approach, ensuring controls are fit for purpose and effectively implemented.
- Reporting control deficiencies and facilitating the definition of remediation plans by working closely with business teams to identify pragmatic and sustainable solutions.
- Challenging compliance risk assessments submitted by business partners, questioning assumptions and methodologies to ensure a robust risk evaluation.
- Monitoring the implementation of regulatory and audit recommendations, ensuring that corrective actions are completed on time and effectively address root causes.

- Collaborating with Internal Audit, Risk Management, and Compliance Domains to align on risk assessments and avoid control overlaps.

- Experience as an auditor (internal/external) or control specialist;
- Familiarity with compliance controls in a banking environment (experience in Corporate Banking, CIB, or Market Integrity is a plus but not mandatory).
- A critical and detail-oriented mindset, with the ability to ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and assess risks objectively.
- A collaborative and solution-driven approach, focused on partnering with business lines to address risks rather than imposing solutions.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate findings clearly and constructively to drive action.
- Autonomy and rigor in managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- An appetite and/or experience in data analysis and its potential (e.g. leveraging data for control testing or risk identification) is a significant asset
- A master’s degree in Law, Risk Management, Audit, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- Fluency in French, Dutch and English (written and spoken).
- Proficiency in MS Office, particularly Excel (pivot tables, data analysis) and PowerPoint for reporting.
