Are you a strategic leader with a keen eye for integrity and risks? Do you want to make a global impact in the fight against financial crime? DLL is looking for a Head of Financial Crime Compliance (FCC) to take our global compliance approach to the next level.

In this key role, you will lead and shape the strategic direction of DLL's global FCC framework, focusing on Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Counter-Terrorist Financing (CTF), Anti-Bribery & Corruption (ABC), sanctions & embargoes, and fraud prevention. You will work closely with and (hierarchically) report to DLL's Chief Compliance Officer and (functionally) Rabobank's Global Head of FCC. Additionally, you will be an active member of both DLL's Corporate Compliance Management Team and Rabobank's Financial Crime Management Team.

Together with the other Group Compliance Centers of Expertise (Conduct, ESG, Privacy and Core Compliance) you and your team will execute a unified vision that safeguards the organization while supporting growth and resilience.

As core member of DLL’s Corporate Compliance Management Team, DLL’s Global Compliance Management Team, and Rabobank’s Financial Crime Management Team, you will ensure alignment and collaboration across DLL globally and the broader Rabobank group. This high-impact role places you at the center of DLL's and Rabobank’s global defense against financial crime, empowering you to drive innovation, steer regulatory engagement, and strengthen institutional integrity. So, if you are ready to take on a vital leadership role and contribute to the enhancement of our global FEC Program, we look forward to your application.

What makes this role unique? You combine strategic leadership with international collaboration, and you have a direct influence on how we combat financial crime on a global scale. You will lead a team of experts, collaborate with colleagues in all regions, and represent DLL to regulators and external stakeholders.
