About the role
Do you have deep experience in payments regulation and want to play a key role in strengthening Saxo’s compliance framework in a fast‑moving environment? Then this role is for you.
The Compliance department supports the management of compliance risks while supporting prudent business development and growth. We have several teams in Denmark as well as abroad, each of which has their own area of responsibility, but where close collaboration is key to achieving our common goals.
You will be a part of the Financial Crime & Group DPO team in Group Compliance, that also covers Payments Regulation. The team is a part of 2nd Line of Defence and is located in Saxo’s headquarters in Hellerup. We are supporting the business in its continued compliance with regulatory requirements, market practices as well as internal policies and procedures.
As a team, we balance professionalism with a sense of humour and have an informal atmosphere – we make it fun to go to work.
Responsibilities
In this role, you will play an important role in supporting Saxo’s efforts to manage risk with the payment regulation area and you will use your experience within compliance and payments by working on a broad number of tasks:
Perform compliance risk assessments
Provide advice and compliance opinions to the business on managing compliance risks and regulatory requirements
Conduct compliance monitoring activities
Prepare compliance monitoring reports and contribute to regular compliance reporting to the senior management of the bank
Participate in developing the bank’s compliance framework
Interact with the business across organisational levels and seniority
Depending on your profile, you will drive activities across jurisdictions to ensure continued compliance with all applicable legislation, markets practices and internal rules and procedures
Your profile
We are looking for a colleague with deep knowledge and solid prior experience in compliance functions within the financial sector or the Danish FSA.
You must have at least 5+ years of experience in a compliance role, and it is essential that you bring in‑depth expertise within the payments regulation area, including PSD2 and the Instant Payments Regulation.
Profiles without substantial experience in these areas will unfortunately not meet the requirements for this role, as we need someone who can contribute from day one and help uphold our high compliance standards.
Aside from the payments area, we expect you to have experience withing compliance, interpretation of regulatory requirements, risk management or similar, combined with a relevant education background.
As a colleague, we value a detail-oriented mindset and that you can work independently while actively engage in teamwork and enjoy collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across our global organisation. As Saxo is a wonderfully dynamic entity, it is definitely an advantage that you thrive in an environment with constant changes and bring a positive and curios mindset to work and that you do not buy into the word ‘cannot’.
