Are you that pragmatic and goal-oriented senior compliance professional joining Blauwtrust Groep?

Do you have experience as a Compliance Manager and would you like to apply this experience in an organization with multiple entities? Do you want to grow further in the mortgage world with a strong ambition to grow more internationally in the future? Then you might be the Senior Compliance Manager that Blauwtrust Groep is looking for!

Your work environment

Blauwtrust Groep connects supply and demand of residential mortgages in the Netherlands through its subsidiaries Quion, ROMEO and Dutch Mortgage Portfolio Management (DMPM).

With more than 30 years of experience, Blauwtrust Groep (BTG) has built a solid position in the Dutch residential mortgage market by providing consumers, intermediaries and investors with high-quality products and services. Each individual Blauwtrust Group company offers its customers best-in-class propositions, striving for the highest customer satisfaction.

Working at Blauwtrust Group and specifically for this position means making an impact. Making impact through the knowledge you bring to the table, but also through the environment in which you come to work. With a private equity shareholder, a growth is underway with a corresponding strategy in which you can participate. Besides a high degree of autonomy, you will have a lot of interaction with both 2nd and 1st line. This gives you visibility into the entire chain and impact on all employees. You help management, speak to them on the floor and have short lines of communication to bring your ideas and advice to actions and thus solutions.

You work on the compliance model and framework and roll this out across the organization. You do this from your position, but with us certainly also in a personal capacity because of the short lines of communication and the impact that will be seen. Progressive, international and personal at the same time. Does this suit you? Then we would like to meet you!

What will you do?

The senior compliance manager has an independent and autonomous position within Blauwtrust Group. In this position you have a hierarchical relationship with the Head of Compliance to whom you report directly. In addition, the CFRO and the management of BTG as well as the management of the subsidiaries are your main stakeholders.

As senior compliance manager you will support the entire organization in promoting a culture of compliance and integrity and ensure that the organization is and remains compliant with laws and regulations. Increasing compliance and risk awareness regarding the integrity and control of business operations is of great importance here.

• You are responsible for the further strengthening and professionalization of the compliance framework including the embedding and operation of the compliance cycle within BTG.
• You are responsible for the further development and maintenance of the compliance risk management system.
• You keep track of developments in (European) laws and regulations including guidelines from regulators that impact our business and license. You advise the board and employees and monitor the implementation.
• You are sparring partner for the management of the business to align our services and products with (future) laws and regulations and support them in the development of new services and products.
• You advise on (integrity) policies and related procedures. If necessary or desirable, you draft policies and procedures, always ensuring a good fit with BTG practice.
• You discuss, in consultation with the business, relevant compliance topics with investors and give investors in due diligence processes insight into the compliance framework of BTG through presentations.
• With the help of the business you ensure adequate handling of incidents.

Job requirements

We are looking for a hands-on compliance manager who makes and keeps all layers at operational, tactical and strategic levels within our organization sharp and alert to regulations and compliance risks. As senior compliance manager you will work closely with the management and employees of BTG, but also with the other group organizations. You are a true professional who helps to ensure that our organization is in control in the field of compliance, whereby you can of course lean on the expertise of your colleagues within the entire Blauwtrust Group. You know how to find a good balance between involvement and independence. Your pragmatic, pro-active, self-assured and flexible attitude makes you a perfect fit within our organization.

Furthermore
