Specialist market insights from our Amsterdam team

Compliance

“Compliance professionals are in high demand,” says Lisanne van Ameijden. “There is a significant knowledge gap in the market. OJ’s Performance Management team provides tailor-made education to professionals, enabling us to service clients from junior to senior level hires within the 1st and 2nd line of Compliance”.

Finance, Actuarial, and Risk

Reinier Hovius reports a rapid upward trend moving into Q4. “We see a significant increase in regulatory reporting positions due to continuous enhancement of DNB and ECB regulations in the financial sector. In the commercial sector, Financial Control vacancies are increasing due to year-end reporting obligations”.
