Group Head of Compliance

About the role

DOF is seeking a proactive and business-oriented Group Head of Compliance to lead and strengthen compliance across its global maritime and offshore organisation. In this role, you will work closely with colleagues across the organisation to develop, implement, and manage effective compliance processes that support responsible and sustainable business practices.

This is a varied and hands-on role where you will combine sound legal and compliance expertise with the authority and judgment required to challenge established practices and drive consistent ways of working. You will work closely with Legal, regional management, and relevant corporate functions to help DOF manage compliance risk and enable sound and responsible business decisions.

Your impact in DOF

As Group Head of Compliance, you will lead the continued development of DOF's compliance framework and provide functional direction on compliance across the Group. Your responsibilities may include:

• Own and develop DOF's global compliance framework, policies, and procedures.
• Set Group-wide compliance standards and drive consistent ways of working across regions and functions, balancing global consistency with local regulatory requirements.
• Lead compliance risk assessments, follow-up actions, and management reporting.
• Lead and oversee integrity due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.
• Maintain oversight of sanctions and export control requirements, working closely with corporate and operational stakeholders.
• Lead compliance assessments relating to new markets, partnerships, and transactions.
• Oversee the investigation, follow-up, and close-out of reported concerns and potential compliance breaches.
• Drive consistent compliance practices through guidance, training, and continuous improvement.
• Proactively monitor compliance activities, regulatory developments, and emerging requirements, and support management reporting.

You will work closely with legal and senior stakeholders across DOF's corporate functions, business areas, and regions. You will be expected to combine a pragmatic, business-oriented approach with the independence and integrity required to take a clear position and escalate where necessary.

Who are you?

We are looking for a credible compliance leader who combines sound judgment with a practical understanding of international business and operations. You are comfortable working across functions and regions and can communicate compliance requirements in a clear and business-relevant way, building trust and influencing stakeholders while maintaining the independence and authority required to challenge established practices.

You may be a good match if you have:

• Relevant higher education within law, audit, finance, business, risk management, or a related discipline.
• Relevant experience from compliance, legal, audit, risk management, or a similar field, including functional or leadership responsibility in a complex international organisation.
• Experience from the maritime, offshore, energy, or another internationally regulated industry.
• Extensive knowledge of compliance risk assessment, integrity due diligence, and KYC processes.
• Experience driving common standards and consistent ways of working across functions, business areas, and jurisdictions.
• Analytical and organisational skills, with a structured approach to your work.
• Good communication skills and fluency in English, both written and spoken.
• High integrity, independent judgment, and the ability to handle sensitive and confidential matters appropriately.

If this role sounds like the perfect fit for you, but you don't meet every single requirement, we encourage you to apply. We value the right person over a perfect match to a job description.
