Integrity Investigator

As an integrity investigator, you hold a key role within Stedin: you receive reports of possible behaviors in violation of our code of conduct. During the investigation process, you are the pivot in handling the report and contribute directly to a safer working environment.

As an integrity investigator, you ensure the careful handling of integrity reports. You register reports, conduct objective investigations, and maintain an eye on all parties involved. Together with your fellow coordinator and external investigation agencies, you arrive at clear reports and appropriate follow-up with line management and HR. In doing so, you test for facts and proportionality and safeguard confidentiality, the safety of whistleblowers, and our integrity and reporting procedures.

• You start the day with a good cup of coffee and open the Integrity Reporting Point (IMS). You see that a new report has arrived. You read it carefully, perform an initial assessment of urgency and risk, and determine which follow-up steps are needed. After that, you have a short call with a reporter to ask clarifying questions. Using the information from this conversation, you record the triage neatly and completely in the file.
• Midway through the morning, you join a meeting with your fellow coordinator. You discuss ongoing investigations, align on priorities, and decide which cases proceed to external investigation agencies. You prepare the investigation well, so that people know exactly what needs to be done. Time for lunch! You eat together with colleagues in the lounge or take a quick walk outside to clear your head. Often, the conversation still touches on interesting cases because, truth be told: this work never gets boring.
• In the afternoon, you have a (pre)interview with a person involved. You ask factual questions, maintain calm in the conversation, and ensure that everyone feels heard. Back at your desk, you draft the interview report and carefully record the right of reply. After that, you begin the concise report for the compliance officer, in which you clearly summarize facts, patterns, and findings.
• You close the day by checking the progress of the ongoing files and briefly analyzing the trends in reports. For example, you might see that reports are arriving more frequently regarding a certain process or team, providing valuable input for future awareness or improvement actions.
• If a report leads to substantive conversations? Then, after consultation with the coordinator, you may seek a connection with our external investigation agency. You do not conduct confrontation interviews with a high impact alone, but together with the investigation agency or with your fellow coordinator. There is a division of roles in recording and questioning that you must also adhere to within the code of conduct. You close the day with a high-quality report in which you and your investigation partner have objectively recorded all facts. Through this method of collaboration with colleagues and the investigation agency, you create a beautiful combination that the compliance officer can rely on.
• And tomorrow. Then a meeting is scheduled with HR and a line manager regarding a completed investigation. You offer aftercare to all parties involved, continue working on a report, and have a familiar, informal brainstorming moment with your fellow coordinator. Every day is different, and that is what makes this work so meaningful.

• A job with a lot of variety and complexity in which you are continuously challenged.
• A lot of freedom. In your work, and through hybrid working and flexible working hours.

• An attractive salary and, on top of that, a personal budget of 24% and a Sustainable Employability Budget of 700 euros per year.

In this position of trust, your personality is at least as important as your knowledge of the investigative profession. You are approachable, calm, and professional, even when situations are emotionally charged or complex. Even then, you remain objective. You are upright and discreet, and can handle sensitive information excellently. In addition to good analytical skills, which you use to analyze complex files and sources, you also know the administrative and political landscape. Finally, you are flexibly deployable when a report demands it; you know that integrity does not always adhere to office hours.

Furthermore, you have:

• Minimum HBO working and thinking level
• Experience in conducting fact-finding and integrity investigations and experience in questioning and conducting interviews.
• An unblemished integrity profile and the ability to work strictly confidentially, carefully, and meticulously. Because this unique position can be taxing, a stable home environment is important.

We look forward to meeting you.
