Compliance Specialist

As Compliance Specialist, you support the global operationalization of selected key compliance topics of our Compliance Management System. Depending on business priorities, you will take ownership of one or more of these compliance topics, while working within the governance standards and methodologies defined by the central Agricultural Solutions Compliance department. The role combines global coordination with hands-on implementation across regions and functions.

• You operationalize selected CMS topics and program components globally, such as anti-corruption, human rights, business partner due diligence, whistleblowing or compliance case handling.
• You translate Agricultural Solutions policies, governance requirements and central methodologies into practical processes, guidance, implementation tools, controls and evidence requirements.
• Your responsibilities include supporting compliance risk assessments, mitigation measures, control documentation and testing, remediation tracking and effectiveness reviews.
• In addition, you coordinate risk-based compliance training and communication, from target-group analysis and rollout to completion tracking and follow-up.
• As a go-to user, you provide support for tools and applications used across the compliance area.
• You contribute to compliance case intake, documentation and follow-up and, where applicable, support investigation teams in line with defined governance responsibilities without displacing the designated case owner.
• To ensure transparency, you consolidate relevant KPIs, risks, implementation progress and open actions and prepare clear reporting for Agricultural Solutions Compliance management and governance bodies.
• Working closely with Legal, Internal Audit, Risk Management, Internal Controls, Information Security, HR, Procurement and the wider Agricultural Solutions Compliance Community, you drive agreed actions to completion and constructively address implementation gaps.
