YOUR JOB IN A NUTSHELL
Make a difference in a critical domain of BNP PARIBAS Fortis and join Operational Permanent Control (OPC) as our Account Manager (ACMA).

In this role, you’ll focus on Professional Ethics (PE), Market Integrity (MI), Protection of Client Interests (PIC), and Fraud Prevention, domains that are foundational to our reputation and license to operate. By enforcing conflict-of-interest management, fair client treatment, market abuse prevention, and anti-fraud measures, you’ll help uphold transparency, avoid legal/reputational risks, and reinforce trust.
