What is this position about?

The Compliance function is at the heart of BNP Paribas’ risk management. One of the pillars of the Group’s internal control setup, Compliance teams work both independently and in close partnership with the Business to adapt to the evolution of the Group’s activities and the requirements of the regulators. Compliance teams contribute to maintaining the reputation of BNP Paribas and the trust of our clients, thanks to their strong control of non-compliance risks, allowing everyone to work with confidence.

Within Global Markets, ALM-T, 2S and FIC Compliance, the Transversal Compliance team is:

•    Advise the different businesses or other Compliance teams on transversal matters such as digital solutions;

•    Taking responsibility over the compliance framework of transversal matters (TAC/NAC process, regulatory reporting, etc.); and 

•    Contribute to the management of conduct issues and incidents. 

The team has a regional (APAC) reach and is also responsible for contributing and/or coordinating the regulatory matters specific to HK (reg watch, surveys, inspections, etc.) for GM and ALM-T.

What would be your typical day at BNPP Paribas look like? 

In this role, you will…

At APAC level – 

·          Take the lead of regulatory reporting projects from a GM/ALM-T Compliance perspective

·          Advise and challenge the business on transversal matters (e.g., digital solutions)

·          In coordination with APAC domains when relevant, monitor and support the implementation or the enhancement of transversal Compliance policies in the businesses in scope (e.g., voice recording, usage of mobiles devices, etc.). This can include:

-          Leading consultations with the Compliance teams in APAC territories

-          Advising the business on the requirements and challenging their implementation of such requirements

-          With the support of APAC domains or central BL Compliance teams, providing clarifications on the policies

·          Work closely with central Business Compliance teams to ensure coherence and alignment of the Group’s framework across geographies, except for justified divergences

Beside the core responsibilities listed above, the Compliance Officer may provide support to a particular desk or business line on pre-agreed business specific matters.

In 2025, this role will focus on the regulatory reporting framework.

For the avoidance of doubt, the transversal GM/ALM-T/2S/FIC Compliance team is not covering transversal sales or trading.
