For one of our clients in
Sint Maarten
, we are looking for an experienced
Risk & Compliance Professional
.

In this position, you contribute to maintaining a sound and controlled business environment. You support the organization in identifying and managing risks, strengthening internal controls, meeting applicable requirements, and ensuring appropriate follow-up when potential issues are identified.

The role requires someone who is analytical, independent, and comfortable working with different areas of the organization. You should be able to look beyond individual cases, recognize patterns and risks, and translate your observations into practical recommendations and actions.

This is a broad position suited to a professional who combines knowledge of
risk, compliance, financial analysis, and internal controls
with a hands-on approach.

The Role

As Risk & Compliance Professional, you will work closely with local management and colleagues across different disciplines. Your responsibilities will include a combination of risk management, compliance monitoring, financial analysis, control activities, and advisory support.

Your responsibilities may include:

• 
  Supporting the organization's overall approach to identifying, assessing, monitoring, and managing business risks.
• 
  Reviewing existing processes and controls and identifying opportunities for improvement.
• 
  Monitoring whether internal policies, procedures, and applicable external requirements are being followed.
• 
  Performing periodic risk assessments and supporting assessments related to new activities, products, processes, or systems.
• 
  Reviewing the effectiveness of internal controls and documenting findings and recommendations.
• 
  Monitoring identified risks and ensuring that exceptions or areas of concern receive appropriate follow-up.
• 
  Analyzing financial and operational information to identify trends, irregularities, or potential areas of increased risk.
• 
  Preparing clear reports and management information regarding risk, compliance, and other areas requiring attention.
• 
  Supporting the organization in maintaining adequate preparations for operational disruptions and business continuity.
• 
  Providing advice and guidance to colleagues on risk- and compliance-related questions.
• 
  Supporting internal reviews, audits, and other assurance activities.
• 
  Coordinating requested information and documentation for relevant internal and external parties.
• 
  Following up on findings and ensuring agreed actions are appropriately monitored.
• 
  Supporting awareness initiatives and internal training aimed at strengthening a responsible and risk-conscious working environment.
• 
  Contributing to sensitive or complex cases that require financial analysis, documentation, coordination, and structured follow-up.
• 
  Working with relevant professional parties where additional expertise or formal follow-up is required.
• 
  Supporting other risk, control, and compliance activities as needed.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who can combine
analytical thinking with a practical approach
.

You are comfortable reviewing information critically, asking the right questions, and identifying where additional attention may be required. You do not simply identify an issue; you are also able to consider its potential impact and contribute to a workable solution.

Because you will interact with different areas and levels of the organization, you should be able to communicate professionally and explain risk or compliance matters in clear business language.

The position also requires independence and confidence. There may be situations where you need to challenge existing practices, request additional information, or raise concerns. You are able to do this constructively and professionally.

Personal Profile

The ideal candidate is
analytical, accurate, confident, pragmatic, and dependable
.

You naturally want to understand why something happens rather than simply accepting information at face value. You are comfortable working with data and documentation, but equally comfortable speaking with colleagues and management to understand the story behind the numbers.

You know how to maintain professional independence while remaining approachable and solution-oriented.

Most importantly, you understand that effective risk and compliance management is not only about rules and controls. It is about helping an organization recognize potential problems early, make responsible decisions, and operate in a controlled and sustainable manner.
