Experienced Senior Risk Officer - Tax Evasion Prevention

Help us make a difference! Danske Bank is on the hunt for a skilled tax specialist to join our fight against financial crime in a unique hybrid role. You'll have the chance to collaborate with a dedicated team, offering expert advice, and implementing robust controls to prevent tax evasion.

We are looking for an experienced tax specialist to join us in a hybrid role at our new headquarters in Copenhagen. Our team specialises in ensuring that Danske Bank is not misused for illegal purposes, including bribery, corruption and tax evasion.

You will join the tax evasion prevention area, where we provide expert advice to internal stakeholders, ensuring appropriate controls are implemented regarding tax evasion prevention and where we enjoy working together in a collaborative and innovative way.

Become part of a team with focus on collaboration
You will be part of the Fraud, Anti Bribery and Corruption (ABC) & Tax Evasion (TE) risk department, which is part of Financial Crime Risk and Prevention. You will be joining a specialist team committed to ABC and TE prevention.

In this role, you will perform the following key activities:

• Implement controls for the prevention of the facilitation of tax evasion together with relevant areas in the business (for example related to complex investment products and dividend withholding taxation related services).
• Provide specialist advice in specific cases to colleagues in the business, who observe unusual behaviour regarding tax evasion.
• Contribute to risk assessment of products, services, processes, customers and third parties, when it comes to tax evasion.
• Support with the implementation of policies and procedures relating to anti-tax evasion.

There is no direct customer contact in this role, but we support colleagues in the bank when they have questions related to whether something they observe in relation to customers, or third parties is tax evasion. This could be undeclared income, transfer pricing, VAT carousel fraud or dividend taxation fraud. You are not expected to be an expert in all the areas of tax, but you should be adept at researching the rules, so that you can understand the different areas when relevant.

You will conduct deep dives and analysis – while you also ensure that Danske Bank has a comprehensive framework regarding tax evasion prevention. You will stay abreast of the evolving regulatory landscape and guidance along with industry leading practices in all areas relevant to TE prevention.

Motivated person with great communications skills
You are a motivated individual with an understanding of the business in a leading Nordic bank and the various tax related issues. Additionally, you feel comfortable discussing with colleagues and stakeholders working in the different business areas. Ideally:

• You have a degree in Auditing, Accounting, Law, Tax or similar.
• You bring experience from tax authority, consulting firms or in-house.
• You are proficient in Danish tax law and can read the law and relevant decisions to come to a conclusion regarding various cases.
• You are great at communicating with corporate stakeholders – and you can do this fluently in English.

“You will have committed colleagues working to prevent financial crime in Danske Bank, which includes preventing fraud, money laundering, bribery, corruption, tax evasion, terrorist financing and breaching sanctions. In a large company like Danske Bank, there are many opportunities to grow - including through training, mentoring programs and secondments."

The job is located in our new headquarters on Bernstorffsgade. However, the position is hybrid, with flexibility to work both from home and in the office. As part of working in Danske Bank, you will also have 6 weeks of holidays and 5 care days per year, including a range of other benefits.

Please apply as soon as possible as we conduct interviews on an ongoing basis.
