Would you like to progress your career within Financial Crime working with a more specialised focus on Control Testing? Then join us on our journey toward becoming a better bank and help us build an even stronger Compliance Control Testing unit.

You will be part of a continuously growing team of approx. 24 highly skilled professional colleagues based across the Nordics and Lithuania. This role is based in Denmark and is a maternity cover position, concluding on June 30th, 2025.

We are an integrated part of the Group Compliance function, where we all have a focus on contributing to Danske Bank’s strategy of becoming the most trusted financial partner. We do so by acting with integrity, delivering expertise, having a focus on creating value, and progressing through agility.

Engage with stakeholders and evolve responsibility.
Your main responsibility will be to test the design and operational effectiveness of controls against Group Policy requirements and external regulatory requirements and expectations. Our annual plan consists of various types of testing activities across multiple Regulatory Compliance risk types, which creates a versatile work life with many different and varied tasks.

You will:

• Analyse and review regulatory/financial crime regulation and policy requirements and expectations as well as other data points, such as the output of risk assessments, to determine a targeted risk-based approach to testing;
• Investigate and assess internal processes, procedures, and control frameworks in order to scope and plan the Control Testing;
• Exercise knowledge and analytical skills to carry out and test according to the scope, and raise observations on areas where you find risks that need mitigation;
• Need to clearly document your results and ensure alignment and agreement with stakeholders on the context of the report;

You maintain ongoing collaboration with stakeholders, as you will be in touch with our stakeholders on mitigations and closure of observations.

Can you build relations and help progress our set?
To be a success, you have knowledge of processes, controls, and Financial Crime risks. You have proven stakeholder and project management skills, and you also bring to the role:

• 5+ years of experience in, e.g., risk, compliance, internal audit, or control testing in the financial sector;
• Advanced skill in English, both verbal and written;
• Planning, organizing and prioritization capability;
• Experience in undertaking investigations/analysis with the ability to draw inferences from the information.

Your ability to build relations and bring curiosity to understand and help progress our set-up is vital. This is a role for you, who thrive with independent tasks and can prioritize multiple tasks simultaneously and still finds it equally important to collaborate and succeed as a team.
