We're looking for a highly skilled Senior Counsel to join our team in Denmark. As a key member of the Global Regulatory Team, you will play a critical role in facilitating the strategic development of Mastercard's open banking business in Europe.

Job Description

The ideal candidate will have a deep understanding of Danish financial services regulations, particularly open banking, and broader corporate compliance requirements for regulated financial entities. You will ensure that MCOBS EU, and with the assistance of UK Regulatory Affairs Team members, MCOBS UK, are compliant with all relevant legal and regulatory requirements.

  • Ensure regulatory compliance across multiple jurisdictions
  • Advise on supervision and regulatory examinations by DFSA and FCA
  • Build relationships with key regulators to drive business growth

In this role, you will work closely with the Regulatory Compliance team to identify regulatory obligations, including regulatory reporting. You will also perform regulatory analysis of new Mastercard open banking products and services in Denmark and the UK, and provide expert regulatory leadership to build out and maintain strong relationships with key regulators.

Required Skills and Qualifications

To succeed in this role, you will need:

  • A graduate degree in law from an established university
  • Qualified lawyer with mid-level experience and track record of success in legal practice in fields drawn from technology, finance, corporate, and commercial law
  • Fluent in Danish and English (written and spoken)

You will be able to interpret regulations and guidance to assess the impact and develop practical solutions compliant with the relevant laws. Your solid knowledge of innovative technologies relating to open banking and payment services, including digital and new payment solutions and platforms, will enable you to communicate complex regulatory issues in simple and concise terms.

As a motivated and influential professional, you will be able to work on complex issues of significant importance, juggle substantial competing demands, and adapt to evolving priorities. Your ability to motivate and influence highly-skilled professionals to achieve major organizational goals will make you a valuable asset to our team.
