Compliance Officer, Sanctions Compliance

Job ID: 27739

We are looking for a Compliance Officer to help advise, guide and support Nordea’s business operations on sanctions-related issues.

About our team

Meet the Group Financial Crime Compliance (GFCC) Sanctions team. Our role is to support all business lines and functions across the Nordea Group on complex financial crime and sanctions-related matters and provide independent oversight of the sanctions risk management activities.

Our team is a part of Group Financial Crime Compliance (GFCC) - the bank’s Financial Crime expert function that works to improve the bank’s capabilities to combat financial crime in a dynamic and challenging environment. GFCC Sanctions is a team of leading sanctions experts with experience and knowledge from the Nordics and around the world.
Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in how we work and how we make decisions – and that we imagine you share with us.

What you’ll be doing

Main responsibilities in this role:

  • Be a subject matter expert on sanctions risk management in financial institutions, including EU, UN, US and UK sanctions regulations
  • Conduct case-by-case assessments of matters escalated by the business in relation to their customers/clients
  • Support and advise on breaches of policy and/or regulation
  • Help set Nordea’s financial crime strategy and related policy on sanctions and contribute to the sanctions and financial crime strategic initiatives and trainings
  • Draft and/or provide input on internal policy documents, guidance, and instructions

Who you are

This is the right role for you if you are known as a subject matter expert in your field and you are truly passionate about it. Strong communication skills are key, especially when explaining complex matters to your stakeholders. We hope that you have the ability to tailor complex information for various audiences, influence decisions but also have the willingness and ability to listen and understand others’ point of view. You should enjoy building and maintaining professional relationships. Moreover, we expect that you have a strong analytical mindset and base your advice on sound analysis and facts.

Your background and skills include:

  • An academic degree in a relevant field, such as Law, Political Science, International Affairs, Economics, or Business
  • Familiarity with the EU, US or UK regulatory environment and the expectations of sanctions enforcement authorities
  • Experience of working with sanctions risk management and sanctions regulations
  • Proficiency in written and spoken English

It would be ideal if you also:

  • Have a keen interest in geopolitics, law and society
  • Keep abreast of guidance and rules issued by the EU Commission, US BIS, OFAC, and FinCen
  • Have experience of dealing with sanctions enforcement agencies or other regulators

What we offer

People come here when they want to get somewhere. For some, it’s to take their career to the next level. For others, it’s to break new ground within their area of expertise – in other words, with us, you will always move forward.

A culture that fosters performance and growth in one of the largest Nordic banks, offering various opportunities to evolve, develop and learn from brilliant colleagues with diverse backgrounds in a vibrant working environment.

Hybrid working model – we believe in the value of bringing people together and at the same time we embrace the freedom of flexibility.

Diversity and inclusion are a natural part of our daily work. We know that an inclusive workplace is a sustainable one. We genuinely believe that our diverse backgrounds, experiences, characteristics and traits make us stronger together.
