Context & Environment

TotalEnergies has developed strong expertise across oil and biofuels, natural gas, electricity and low-carbon energy trading. Our trading activities are conducted from key international hubs, including Geneva, Paris, Houston and Singapore.

Geneva is home to TotalEnergies’ European trading hub, bringing together large and diverse teams across Trading & Shipping and TotalEnergies Gas and Power.

TotalEnergies Gas and Power is the Company’s trading arm for gas, electricity, liquefied natural gas, carbon emissions and other low-carbon energies. It operates in fast-moving and increasingly regulated markets, requiring continuous adaptation, strong risk awareness and robust compliance frameworks.

The Geneva trading teams are responsible for optimizing purchase and sales portfolios across recognized global markets, while operating in accordance with the Company’s trading guidelines and applicable laws and regulations.

Within this dynamic environment, the Compliance team plays a central role in protecting the integrity of our activities and supporting the sustainable growth of the business.

Activities

As a Corporate Compliance Officer within the Geneva Compliance team, you will act as a key point of contact for day-to-day corporate compliance, integrity and sanctions-related matters.

You will contribute to strengthening the compliance and risk-awareness culture across TotalEnergies Gas and Power, working closely with business teams, senior management and internal and external stakeholders.

Your main responsibilities will include:

Implementing TotalEnergies’ integrity policies and compliance programmes, including anti-corruption, antitrust and anti-money laundering requirements.
Supporting the development, implementation and continuous improvement of compliance procedures, systems and internal controls.
Ensuring that compliance policies, procedures, databases and supporting documentation remain accurate and up to date.
Promoting a strong compliance culture across the organization through regular communication, guidance and awareness initiatives.
Coordinating and delivering compliance training, including annual compliance seminars, onboarding sessions for new employees and traders, and dedicated awareness programmes.
Promoting and supporting the use of compliance training tools and e-learning platforms.
Conducting corruption risk assessments and compliance due diligence on counterparties, business partners and other relevant third parties.
Advising business teams on the outcome of due diligence reviews and any associated risk-mitigation measures.
Monitoring regulatory developments and assessing their potential impact on current and future business activities.
Keeping directors and senior management informed of relevant changes to regulations, internal policies and procedures.
Supporting the management and development of compliance-related systems, including KYC onboarding tools, compliance intranet pages and gifts and hospitality registers.
Working with IT and other relevant departments to improve compliance tools, processes and data management.
Liaising with Compliance teams across other TotalEnergies entities and business lines when required.
Participating in Integrity Committee meetings where relevant.

Escalating potential incidents involving corruption, fraud or other compliance concerns in accordance with the applicable internal procedures.
Preparing quarterly, annual and ad hoc compliance reports for internal stakeholders and Group Compliance teams.
Providing practical advice and guidance on corporate compliance matters to Front Office teams and other functions.
Contributing to internal reporting exercises and responding to external compliance and KYC requests from counterparties.

This position requires the ability to operate effectively in a rapidly evolving trading environment where strong controls, sound judgement and strict adherence to regulations are essential.

Candidate Profile

You hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Law, Finance, Engineering or another relevant discipline.
You have at least five years of professional experience within a commodity trading environment, preferably within the energy sector.
You have solid experience in legal, corporate compliance, KYC, sanctions, anti-corruption, antitrust or anti-money laundering matters.
You have a strong understanding of compliance risks and regulatory requirements within an international business environment.
You are able to understand and synthesize complex legal and regulatory concepts and translate them into clear, practical guidance for business stakeholders.
You demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to anticipate next steps and follow through on operational details.
