Your primary responsibility is to safeguard the bank and its customers by meticulously assessing and mitigating Economic Sanctions risks within client files. You’ll follow internal procedures and adhere to regulatory obligations, all while aligning with the bank’s Risk Appetite.

You and your job

In this critical role, you’ll handle the most complex cases, specifically focusing on bank customers with medium and/or high sanction risks. Your expertise will be instrumental in managing risks related to economic and financial sanctions. As the gatekeeper for Rabobank, you play a pivotal part in ensuring compliance.

Top Responsibilities

As a Senior, your responsibilities extend beyond the ordinary. You will take on a leadership role within the department, making independent decisions and leading projects. You will coach colleagues, provide feedback, navigate difficult customer conversations, propose improvement initiatives, and step in for the teamlead when needed. You serve as a crucial link between our customers, less experienced analysts, other expertise teams, and the bank. This role continually challenges you to enhance both yourself and your team. You will leverage your knowledge and experience to achieve the goals of the Economic Sanctions Monitoring (ESM) department.

Top Responsibilities

• Representing ESM at high-level meetings: You’ll serve as the face of the Economic Sanctions Monitoring (ESM) team during important meetings. Your contributions will enhance timelines and elevate the quality of investigations, ultimately leading to improved customer outcomes and a positive employee experience.
• Single Point of Contact (SPOC) in the teamlead's absence: When the teamlead is unavailable, you’ll step into the SPOC role. This means being the go-to person for critical decisions and ensuring seamless communication within the team.
• Handling complex sanctions investigations and advising less experienced analysts: As a Senior analyst, you’ll tackle the most intricate sanctions cases. Additionally, you’ll provide guidance and support to less experienced colleagues, helping them navigate their own investigations effectively.
• Creating a safe team environment: Fostering a safe and collaborative atmosphere within the team is essential. You’ll promote open communication, encourage knowledge sharing, and ensure that everyone feels valued and respected.
• Leading projects and driving improvements: Take the initiative to lead projects aimed at enhancing processes, efficiency, and overall team performance.

Together we achieve more than alone. We believe in the power of difference. Bringing together people's differences is what makes us an even better bank. So we are very curious about what you can bring to our team at Economic Sanctions Monitoring.

“The variety of work is what I like most about the role of Senior Analyst within Economic Sanctions Monitoring. From investigating the most complex sanctions issues to the quality control of the files and coaching and guiding colleagues. In every aspect you bear a responsibility to carefully map out which sanctions risks Rabobank runs. As a Senior you are also regularly asked to think along with improvement processes. The sanctions legislation and regulations are also regularly in the news and these current affairs must also be applied in the investigations, which means that you are constantly challenged to apply the most recent information!” - Senior Sanctions Analyst
