You'll join an ambitious Technology & Resilience Risk Processes team, shaping how the bank manages its risk exposures on Technology, Business Continuity & Crisis Management, and Outsourcing & 3rd parties. At Nordea, we're committed to being a partner our customers and society can count on. Compliance and integrity go hand in hand.

About this opportunity

Welcome to Technology & Resilience Risk in Group Operational Risk. Our job is all about partnering with the business to ensure Nordea's risk profile meets set risk appetite and regulatory demands while delivering on strategic priorities and business targets – and to constructively challenge where needed.

With us, you'll be strengthening Nordea's technology and resilience risk management and preparedness towards extraordinary events. You'll play a valuable role leveraging your risk and business understanding combined with pragmatic judgement to guide and influence the first line of defence.

What you'll be doing:

1. Setting direction and developing how Nordea manages its Technology and Resilience risks, including the ICT Risk Management Framework and impacts to related risk and business processes.
2. Implementing regulatory requirements and changes (incl. the Digital Operational Resiliency Act / DORA) into affected internal rules and risk frameworks.
3. Developing pragmatic risk and control guidance and requirements to enable logical business usage and value-adding risk information across the bank.
4. Coordinating and/or contributing to supervisory engagements and needed deliveries on Technology, BCCM and/or Outsourcing topics (EBC/JST OSIs, RFIs, and other supervisory reviews).
5. Enhancing data-driven risk monitoring capabilities to draw qualitative insights on risk exposures (incl. KRIs and other metrics).

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. To succeed in this role, we believe that you:

1. Have the ability to understand both the bigger picture and relevant details, foreseeing cross-functional perspectives, inter-linkages and impacts.
2. Are experienced in interpreting financial services regulation and industry standards, and building the bridge to business and risk management and control requirements.
3. Have worked with risk management and control frameworks, policies and requirements, and integrating those into risk and business processes.
4. Have business-driven, pragmatic and analytical mindset applied to risk and regulatory context.
5. Possess excellent problem-solving capabilities and can-do attitude to come up with solutions and quality deliverables.
6. Have great communication skills and ability to drive decision-making while building stakeholder relations across organisational levels.

Your experience and background:

1. 5-10+ years' experience within banking / financial services and risk management (experience with non-financial risk beneficial).
2. Demonstrated ability to manage across multiple initiatives and stakeholders in parallel.
3. Superior professional writing and communication skills in English.
4. Relevant Bachelor or Master's degree.
5. Relevant industry/risk management certifications are considered as a merit but not a prerequisite.
