At Nordea, we see that the world is changing fast – and we want to be one step ahead of the curve. That’s why we’re deeply committed to providing the financial crime prevention solutions of tomorrow to our customers. We’re creating an agile environment where we experiment and grow together – and we need your ideas and unique background. With us, you’ll be in good company, with a chance to make your mark on something bigger.

About this opportunity

Welcome to the “Own TM Controls” team, within the Transaction Monitoring (TM) unit. Our team is part of Group Financial Crime Prevention (GFCP), which provides group-wide solutions to fight financial crime in Nordea. We add value by securing that our customers and Nordea will not be used in illegal ways that could harm them and as well harm our society.


Nordea is a full service bank operating in multiple different Business Area’s (BA’s) such as Large Corporates & Institutions, Business Banking, Asset & Wealth Management and Personal Banking. The broader TM Unit supports all of these area’s offering excellent career development and skill diversification opportunities, should you wish. As a Control Owner you will play a pivotal role in our fight against financial crime working with multiple stakeholders across different functions and Business Area’s.

As the Control Owner, you will be accountable for the oversight of the holistic end-to-end effectiveness and efficiency of the existing and future controls with a specific focus on data quality, risk coverage, customer segmentation and control output, in line with risk appetite.


This includes ensuring controls are not only robust and operationally sound but also adaptable and sustainable as processes evolve. The Control Owner plays a role in supporting both BAU and change activities.


Your role involves creating, owning and implementing a roadmap with the purpose to maintain or increase the value of automated TM controls in production. This will be built upon an ongoing qualitative and quantitative assessment of the effectiveness and efficiency of the controls.

You will be accountable for:

In-depth understanding of relevant control aspects, including Money Laundering / Terrorism Financing / Tax Evasion risks, regulatory expectations and commitments, technical implications, products and services covered, among others. Simplifying the complexity associated to each control aspect to inform Senior Management and enable appropriate decision-making. Creating and maintaining a consolidated control library which includes all relevant information to assess the effectiveness and efficiency of controls. Creating and maintain a prioritised list of recommendations for improvements with the aim to increase the value of the controls.  Creating business optionality to enable a risk-based and appropriate prioritisation. Informing relevant Governance Fora if significant efficiency or effectiveness issues are detected, escalating risks as appropriate and providing optionality to solve them.


You’ll join a team where you can bring your talent and engagement to work in an international and dynamic environment. The role is based in either Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm, London. The position is likely to require occasional travel to Nordea international sites.

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:

Have a business mindset and you are eager to understand both the business and technical sides. Focus on the big picture while having an eye for detail. Are self-driven, result oriented and able to operate under pressure in a changing environment and achieve results through others. Have experience of building influence across the organisation. Are a good communicator with stakeholders both upwards and downwards, and have excellent presentational skills. Are honest and dependable, willing to speak up even when it’s difficult. Are used to work with and manage diverse stakeholder with divergent needs. 

Your experience and background: 

8+ years’ experience in Financial Crime Prevention, specifically in relation to anti-money laundering controls. Organised, analytical, structured and professional in taking initiative, and work proactively under own direction. Good business orientation and risk management mindset. Effective communicator and strong senior stakeholder management. An excellent record of delivery, ideally in the context of working with complex business areas. Ability to work with ambiguity, solve complex problems and structure the unstructured. Strong writing and presentation skills. You are fluent in spoken and written English.
