Manager Regulatory Risk Tell me more about the team!What would you be doing?What does an average day look like? in Amsterdam

We are changing the game of regulatory risk. In a constantly changing regulatory environment, we believe compliance can - and should - drive performance. How? We are in the front-line reshaping regulatory trends and we use cutting-edge technology (think: data analytics and machine learning) to create greater compliance efficiencies. Do you like to challenge the status quo? Are you looking for a new challenge in your career? Join us in preserving value and powering performance for our clients.

Our team consists of about 50 professionals specializing in solving complex regulatory issues for our clients. The cooperation within our teams is informal, as is the general atmosphere. We help each other to get the best solutions for our clients. We are proud to have different professional backgrounds: lawyers and criminologists team up with mathematicians and finance professionals.

Within Regulatory Risk we work together to support clients in anticipating and adapting to changes in the regulatory environment. We cover the entire lifecycle of regulatory risk: from strategy to compliance and response.

1.    Strategy: Help clients understand and anticipate to new laws and regulations. We do this by developing strategies, business structures and processes.
2.    Compliance: Support organisations in designing, evaluating and transforming processes, controls and infrastructure to be compliant with existing law and regulations and foster integrity. We believe that through compliance clients can maintain their business value - and even create a competitive advantage.
 3.   Response: Help clients react to specific gaps in their regulatory compliance programs. These projects are often driven by actual, or upcoming, findings of the regulator.

By joining our Regulatory Risk team, you’ll be part of the wider Risk Advisory practice. We are one of the leading risk consultancy practices in the Netherlands. Within Risk Advisory, we see risks as an opportunity to improve corporate performance. Innovation plays a crucial role in our offerings. You will experience different clients and work on a variety of topics. Our services are mainly performed from the Amsterdam office but many times you will also be working on site at clients. Deloitte serves a global market and thus offers plenty of opportunities for working abroad.

As a manager you are pivotal in the success of our Regulatory Risk team. You are not only an expert in your field, but also the sounding board and sparring partner for our clients. With your experience, you manage complex projects for our clients. You inspire teams of eager consultants to excel, not only in projects but also through training, coaching and career counselling. In return, we encourage you to grow by providing you with formal and informal development programs, coaching and mentoring, and on-the-job challenges. We want you to ask questions, take chances, and explore the (im)possible.

You develop market-facing propositions and sales activities. And because we take pride in being innovative, we expect you have affinity with new technologies (e.g. behavioural analytics, cognitive technologies, IoT). You are actively spotting new opportunities at both existing and new clients. You contribute to the growth of our team by leading sales and quotations processes and are pro-active in the development of our practice.

You have at least six years relevant work experience, preferably in an advisory or consultancy role or you work within a supervisory or corporate environment and are up for a new challenge. Before starting your career, you graduated from university in one of the following areas: Law, Economics, Finance, Business / Public Administration, Organisational Sciences, Criminology, or any study that has a common ground with Regulatory Risk. You have experience in analysing and improving regulatory issues for large organisations. You have affinity with IT systems, data analytics and/or compliance tooling.

You are social, enthusiastic and hands-on. You stay up-to-date with the developments in your field in order to advise your clients. You have great analytical skills and you pay attention to detail. Your critical thinking is especially relevant as clients approach us with complex issues. You are self-reliant, proactive and you have a proven track record of leading project teams. Quality is important in everything you do. Also, you possess a strong commercial drive and you can deliver value to our clients. You are proficient in English and Dutch, both verbally and in writing.

It’s difficult to describe an average workday as the work is truly varied. Instead, let’s consider a war story from the front line.

As a manager you are a driving force behind the innovation of our services. When a client asks for our help in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of their compliance function, you pitch your newly developed proposition around Robotics Process Automation (RPA). Your main selling point is that RPA greatly enhances compliance monitoring and testing. It can do so by reducing the time-consuming processes of collecting, compiling, cleansing, and summarizing large amounts of information.

Being the manger on the project, you first identify which compliance processes are in scope. You work together with your RPA specialist colleagues to ensure that the clients’ processes, data, systems, and the overall governance structure are ready for the introduction of RPA.  When the client is ready, you oversee the implementation of RPA. Finally, once RPA is implemented, you guide your team in defining a set of compliance performance metrics, such as key performance indicators (KPIs).
