Are you based in the Netherlands and fluent in French? Do you have a passion for compliance, client relationships and innovation? Do you want to work at a fast-growing software company that helps the legal sector comply with the Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act and play a key role in our expansion into France? This is your chance!

Who we are

RegLab is an innovative software company that supports law firms, notarial offices, and investment institutions with their complex anti-money laundering obligations. Our digital solution makes onboarding processes more efficient, helping our clients to be compliant so they can focus on their core business. We have ambitious plans to become the market leader in compliance software for the legal sector across the EU, and we're currently expanding into new markets, including France. Our office is located in Haarlem, right next to the train station.

Your role as Compliance Counsel France

As Compliance Counsel for France, you play a key role in growing RegLab's presence in the French market and in our clients' success. You'll be part of both our French country team and Compliance team. While the country team is based in France, you'll be based in our Haarlem office with the Compliance team, so you'll have a strong team around you from day one, both at the office and remotely.

• Advise and support clients in implementing our software;

• Travel regularly to France to visit clients on-site, assess compliance processes, provide advice, and draft tailored policies;
• Build strong relationships with French law firms, notarial offices, and financial institutions, and act as their first point of contact;
• Build and maintain your own network within the French legal and compliance community;
• Analyze client needs and translate them into improvements to our software and services;
  
• Collaborate with internal teams to optimize the client experience.

In short, you are not just a compliance expert, but also a trusted advisor who helps our French clients excel and a driving force behind RegLab's growth in France.

• Master degree in French law
• 3 to 5 years of relevant work experience at a trust office, financial institution, or legal advisory firm (such as a law firm or notarial practice), matching the scope and seniority of this role; 
• A strong affinity for compliance, regulation, and IT innovation;
• Excellent communication and presentation skills;
• A commercial mindset and a client-focused approach;

At RegLab, you get all the room to develop yourself and make a real impact. You can expect:

• A great deal of freedom, ownership, and independence;
• Excellent development opportunities, including training in compliance and IT;
• The chance to work with leading clients, and to help shape our entry into the French market;
