Senior Compliance Manager​/Compliance Manager, CBA NV

Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) is one of Australia's largest and most stable financial institutions, consistently ranked among the top global banks by market capitalisation. As a leading AA‑rated bank, CBA plays a significant role in supporting trade, investment and financial markets between Australia and the rest of the world.

In 2020, CBA established Commonwealth Bank of Australia (Europe) N.V. in Amsterdam as its European hub. From the heart of the EU, we support institutional clients across the region with access to CBA's expertise and international network‑bridging European capital with Australian economic opportunities, in areas including sustainable finance, infrastructure, and global markets.

We are part of CBA's Institutional Banking & Markets (IB&M) division which serves large corporates, financial institutions, governments and central banks.

Our purpose is to facilitate capital and trade flows between Europe and Australia and to support clients in sectors including financial markets, trade finance, energy transition and infrastructure.

This is an opportunity for an experienced Compliance professional to join a growing European banking subsidiary and help shape its regulatory and risk environment. You will provide independent review and challenge, pragmatic advice and ongoing monitoring and oversight across our business activities.

• Act as a trusted adviser on Compliance matters
• Provide clear, commercially aware solutions
• Deliver effective second‑line oversight and assurance

You will report directly to the Head of Compliance, CBA NV, and work closely with Compliance and Risk colleagues in Amsterdam, Sydney, and London.

• Experience in a Compliance role in financial services
• Experience in Compliance Frameworks, conducting risk assessments and performing monitoring and assurance activities

Our team operates with a proactive mindset while maintaining robust governance expected of an international bank. We are committed to diversity, inclusion, and continuous investment in our people, systems, and processes.
