Are you great in identifying and assessing organizational risks? Do you love to translate new regulations into practical actions and can you create awareness for these actions? Would you like to become a player in a rapidly growing Amsterdam-based scale-up?Does this sound anything like you? Well, then please continue reading. There’s a big chance you and Peaks are a perfect match! But let us introduce ourselves first.

Hi!

We are Peaks, an innovative Dutch scale-up. Our app launched in November 2017 and ever since, we’ve made investing accessible and fun for everyone. Our app is easy to use, looks amazing and communicates in a clear and cheerful way.

Since our launch we conquered the Dutch market. Peaks is currently the highest rated and highest ranked investment app in The Netherlands. We are now ready for the next step: scaling up in Europe. To reach our ambitious goal to become the number one European micro-savings and investment app and grow in a controlled way, we need a proactive Risk & Compliance Officer to strengthen our Compliance and Risk team.

What are you going to do?

It will be your task to make sure that Peaks has an up to date overview of the most important operational risks and compliance risks. You will team up with the Compliance Officer to fulfill the second line of defence within Peaks. You will proactively support, advice and challenge Product Owners and management to control and mitigate risks. For that reason, it is important that you are comfortable and confident in giving your opinion to your fellow colleagues. The most of your tasks will focus on risk management, but also compliance will be an important part of your focus area.

Based on the current risk framework you keep key policies and processes up to date and identify new risks (for example during the Systematic Integrity Risk Analysis and as a member of the Product Approval Committee). You will test if the mitigating measures are effective and you contribute to the process of continuous risk and control monitoring and signal improvements.

In addition you will register and follow-up on incidents, find the root cause with product owners and developers, improve processes based on customer feedback, execute transaction monitoring and scan the market for external developments and risks that could affect Peaks. Periodically, you will report to the management of Peaks and the investors in Peaks.

In your role you will work closely the the Board, the Security Officer and the external Risk and Internal Audit officers of the main investor. You will report to the compliance officer.
