Senior Financial Crime Risk Officer

Danske Bank’s 1st Line Financial Crime Risk Assessments team is recruiting for our strategic risk assessments section. We are searching for a senior colleague to join our team.

The position is based in Warsaw, Poland. You will be working together with colleagues in the Financial Crime unit under a hybrid working model – note that we do not offer a fully remote position.

The tasks in our Strategic Risk Assessments section focus on the Group-Wide Risk Assessment (GWRA) and country-wide Financial Crime Risk Assessments (FCRA). In the section, we have a leading role in delivering analysis and reporting on FC risks to each of Danske Bank’s country branches, while we act as SMEs and first-line sparring partners for our counterparts in the GWRA team within Group Compliance for the Group-wide reporting. We work with business units and subsidiaries across all countries, where Danske Bank does business.

Enhancing your expertise in Strategic Assessment

We will help you build on your existing skills to become an expert within strategic risk assessment. Detailed responsibilities will depend on your experience and interests, but in general, you can expect to work within the team and with colleagues across the Group on one or more of the topics that make up the GWRA / FCRA.

Here is an example of tasks that we work with in the team:

• Working with large scale (enterprise- and division-level) risk assessments.
• Performing targeted risk assessment and other analysis.
• Working with additional financial crime risks besides money laundering and terrorist financing.
• Providing written and verbal narratives for one or more of enterprise-level risk assessments, internal/external audits, regulatory authorities, or other control functions.
• Producing quality dashboards, PowerPoints etc. for senior management.
• Training and guiding more junior colleagues.

To meet the requirements of the job, we imagine that you have a background similar to this:

• A minimum of 3 years of relevant experience, with good working knowledge of Financial Crime risks and/or controls.
• Experience with stakeholder management, including to advise and guide stakeholders.
• Experience running established processes independently or with little guidance needed.
• Understanding of financial services and banking industry processes.
• Excellent written and spoken English.

Does this sound like you? Then please get in touch with us.

If you have any questions about the role, you are welcome to contact the leader of 1st Line FC GWRA / FCRA & Product Risk Assessment, Jesper Søndergaard at work@tuhustle.com.

Please note that we may select candidates for interviews on an on-going basis, and this job posting will be closed once we find our preferred new colleague.

We look forward to hearing from you!
