Head of Financial Risk Testing – Controls Management
2 days ago
Would you like to be a significant contributor to the implementation and execution of an effective 1st LoD controls management framework in Danske Bank? Would you like to work closely with the business in testing their key controls to ensure robust business processes and keep Danske Bank and its customers out of harm?
We are looking for an experienced banking professional with the passion to build, shape, influence and deliver a robust testing framework in the Financial Risk area.
As a part of the Controls Management unit in Business Controls & Product Management, you will implement and coordinate 1st LoD controls testing of key controls related to financial risks across the 3 business units in Danske Bank. You will coordinate your activities with other Financial and Non-Financial risk controls testing teams and agree on a testing methodology, plan and schedule. When executing your testing schedule, you will be diving into control documentation and execution evidence to assess the design and operating effectiveness of the controls in question, and their adequacy to adhere to external and internal governing documents whilst ensuring a fair outcome to our customers. You will report your findings to control owners and work with business representatives to identify appropriate resolution of control weaknesses.
Controls Management is an independent 1st LoD control testing unit, separate from the control ownership and operation in the business units, with the aim to ensure that controls are designed and operated effectively. As the Head of Financial Risk Testing, you will have approximately 10 employees reporting directly to you.
Key responsibilities:
- Identify key controls across all Business Units and countries, link them to risk and control taxonomy and incorporate their testing into a yearly Book-of-Testing (BOT).
- Develop new, more robust credit testing framework and remediate identified gaps in our current key controls testing and assurance operations.
- Face up to senior stakeholders both in the Business and in 2nd line, to ensure collaboration across lines and facilitate simplification and standardization of expectations and assurance operations, in line with our Forward 28 Strategy.
- Drive the automation of testing and assurance activities, as well as the automation of reporting, working closely with the Data and Reporting & Insights team experts.
- Cooperate with Head of Framework when conducting control gap assessments, control testing & assurance remediations and input into our key controls list.
- First point of contact in 1st line for credit testing related queries from regulators, and owner of collated presentations and speaker notes towards Heads of Business.
- Roll out Credit Testing Instructions within 1LoD control management and develop ways of working for teams, defining and agreeing roles and responsibilities between Front Line, BCPM and 2nd line, across all locations and BUs.
- Develop test scripts for key controls, test frequency and reporting expectations with BU and 2nd line for credit, liquidity and market risks.
- Plan and deliver adequate cross training and upskilling of team members, ensuring business continuity at all times.
- Drive the strategic move to "combined assurance model", liaising across 3 LoDs to gain more efficiencies when setting up BOT.
Your profile:
To be able to undertake this role, we believe you have a relevant university degree or other educational background. You are an experienced risk professional, or perhaps you have been working with governance, regulatory or legal processes in the banking industry. You have knowledge of financial products, processes or other relevant experience and know how to combine risk management principles with the needs of the business.
We imagine that some of the characteristics to describe you would be:
- Minimum 10 years of experience related to financial risk management, such as credit, liquidity and market risk (non-financial risk and/or regulatory risk experience is a plus).
- In depth business understanding of control assurance principles, risk based approach testing, as well as good knowledge of credit areas.

- A growth mindset paired with decision making ability and the skill of seeing the "bigger picture."
- Ability to assess impact of decisions in a methodological and structured way.
- Ability to cut through vast amount of data, bundle and analyse it in the appropriate way.
- Acting as a role model, through ownership, accountability and collaboration in front of the team and our internal and external stakeholders.
- Danish language is a plus.
- Be a team player and break down silos within the primary team. Recognize and manage internal interdependencies of Data, Reporting and Testing teams.
As our organisation is moving at a fast pace, it is important that you show flexibility and initiative in a fast-changing environment, while developing new ideas. You are able to establish relationships with stakeholders and relevant project organisations across countries and manage to prioritise when needed. The position requires fluency in English and preferably one Nordic language.
