We are looking for an experienced and
skilled candidate to join Nordea's fight against financial crime, and more
specifically, tax evasion and related money laundering activity as a member of
the Anti-Tax Evasion Advisory team within Group Financial Crime Compliance
(GFCC).
At Nordea, we see that the world is changing fast – and we want to be one step ahead of the curve. That’s why we’re deeply committed to providing the financial solutions of tomorrow to our customers. We’re creating an agile environment where we experiment and grow together – and we need your ideas and unique background. With us, you’ll be in good company with a chance to make your mark on something bigger.
About this opportunity
Welcome to GFCC, which is a diverse
and international Nordic team in Nordea’s second
line of defence, together with Group Risk and Compliance, reporting to the
Chief Risk Officer. We are passionate
about Nordea’s commitment to making a positive contribution in society by
safeguarding the integrity of global financial systems by way of preventing tax
criminals to penetrate and misuse those systems. We set the bar for how Nordea
tackles financial crime including tax evasion risks, and we help our business
areas understand their compliance obligations and related risk management responsibilities.
What you’ll be doing:
- Driving the implementation of
Nordea’s risk appetite towards tax evasion
- Help building an approachable anti-tax
evasion advisory function within GFCC providing timely, competent and
consistent advice on:
- How to implement and maintain a
robust, efficient and sustainable tax evasion control framework that relies
on our other financial crime controls
- Customers, transactions or
third parties posing a tax evasion risk
- How to prevent Nordea
businesses from knowingly or unknowingly facilitating such risk
- Contributing to the proactive
and continual identification and evaluation of Nordea’s inherent tax evasion
risks and on their commensurate controls and mitigants
- Maintain awareness of all applicable
tax legal and regulatory requirements as well as industry trends and
developments
- Supporting and challenging our
Business Area and Group Function stakeholders in their interpretation of Nordea’s
policies and standards and providing oversight of their controls’ design
and suitability, as well as of their accountability over the controls,
among other by way of reviewing and advising on policy breaches, deviations
or exceptions
- Guiding, supporting, advising
and training Nordea's staff on their respective tax evasion risk
management responsibilities
- Actively contributing to the creation
of an energetic, collaborative and efficient team environment.
- Acting and advising in accordance with Nordea's values
and sustainability principles
- Working closely with other
colleagues in GFCC, in Frameworks in relation to Policies and Procedures;
in the AML/CTF, ABC and Sanctions Advisory teams in relation to Advisory
activities; but also with Group Compliance or Risk colleagues to ensure
that GFCC acts consistently and coherently as a second line of defence
function
Our team is spread
across our four Nordic centres in Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki and Oslo, so
there is flexibility in where you can be located.
Who you are
Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in being at our best – and that we imagine you share with us.
Your experience and background:
- Strong knowledge and experience of risk management and compliance
- Minimum 1-year experience of working on tax related risks, and 3-years of working within a risk function in a bank or other regulated entity
- You are educated to degree level or have an appropriate FCC qualification such as an ICA Diploma in Financial Crime
