We are looking for a strong candidate in
Regulatory Strategy & Development to
support the 1st line of defence in authorities relationship management.
The Regulatory
Affairs Unit in Group Compliance serves as the one point of contact for all
authorities interactions. Your role will be to manage the incoming requests
from the authorities on behalf of the 1st line of defence. This entails both
coordination of responses and drawing up responses on behalf of the 1st line of
defence. You will also carry out quality assurance of responses to the
authorities on behalf of the 1st line of defence.
You will
act as a sparring partner and advisor for stakeholders across the Group,
ensuring that the 1st line of defence is well coordinated and effective in
authorities management. In addition, you will also be part of the team driving
quality assurance of the process supporting implementation of new or changed
regulations affecting the Nordea Group and ways of working in the unit.
Regulatory
Strategy & Development is a part of Business Risk Implementation and Support
(BRIS) established with the aim to take risk management in Nordea to the next
level by centralising common processes and aligning the way we work with the
management of non-financial risks, such as compliance and operational risks.
