Compliance Manager - Export Control

Compliance Manager – Export Control  The Opportunity If you're currently firefighting export control queries from the sidelines instead of shaping how they're handled, this role gives you a seat much closer to the centre. You'll join a central Compliance & Data Protection function and take real ownership of export control and trade compliance for an internationally operating group. You'll work directly with the Chief Compliance Officer, advise stakeholders across multiple business areas, and have genuine influence over how the group-wide compliance management system is built and run. This isn't a policing role. It's an advisory one, close to the business, with the mandate to shape process rather than just enforce it. The Role You'll take the lead on: Advising on and developing the group-wide compliance management system, with a clear focus on export control and trade compliance. Supporting departments and group companies on export control, sanctions, customs, and foreign trade law. Working alongside the Chief Compliance Officer to develop, implement, and monitor compliance policies and controls.

Running compliance and export control risk analyses and putting mitigation measures in place. Tracking new legal and regulatory requirements and building them into existing processes. Supporting whistleblower case handling and internal investigations. Preparing compliance reports for management and committees, and supporting external audits. Designing and delivering training on compliance, export control, and integrity topics. You'll be trusted to run with these areas rather than have every decision second-guessed, which means your judgement will genuinely shape outcomes, not just tick boxes. The Company Our client is a well-established, internationally operating group with a compliance function that sits centrally and works across the wider business. Export control and trade compliance carry real weight here, not as a formality, but as a function stakeholders actively rely on when navigating complex, cross-border regulatory questions. What You'll Need A completed degree in law, business administration, or a comparable qualification. Several years' experience in export control, customs, and foreign trade law, including hands-on advisory and implementation work. Experience developing or monitoring a compliance management system within an internationally operating company or law firm. Excellent German and English, spoken and written. How to Apply Interested?

Director Compliance & Business Integrity

Compliance Officer  The Opportunity If you've spent years building compliance frameworks around someone else's strategy, this is your chance to help write the strategy itself. You'll join a global organisation at a point where compliance is moving from policy enforcement to genuine boardroom influence. You'll report into senior leadership and have a direct hand in shaping how the business manages risk, ethics and integrity across its markets. This isn't a caretaker role. You'll be expected to build, challenge and modernise. The Role You'll translate global compliance strategy into a framework that works in practice, not just on paper. You'll advise senior leadership directly on compliance, ethics, governance and business integrity, which means your judgement will carry real weight in the decisions that matter. You'll lead policy development, risk assessments, training, due diligence, investigations and reporting across the business, and you'll track regulatory change closely enough to make sure it actually gets implemented, not just noted and filed. You'll lead and grow the compliance network, set the KPIs that prove the function's value, and work to build a genuine speak-up culture, one people trust enough to actually use. The Company Our client is a well-established, global organisation with an international footprint and a compliance function that's growing in scope and seniority. This is a business that treats compliance as a genuine seat at the leadership table, not a back-office formality. What You'll Need 7+ years in a senior compliance, legal, ethics or governance role Strong expertise in anti-corruption, fraud prevention, conflicts of interest, anti-money laundering and supply chain compliance Experience managing compliance programmes in international organisations Fluent English and German How to Apply Interested?
