Transaction Monitoring Specialist - FCP Standards & Controls

Copenhagen, Denmark
Do you know have an in-dept understanding of transaction monitoring within banking? Can you spot red-flags, align regulatory requirements, and support development processes?

FCP Standards & Controls is looking for a Transaction Monitoring Specialist, who can assess and document Transaction Monitoring risks, and support on risk-based Transaction Monitoring design and governance. 

About the job

Standards & Controls is part of 1st Line of defence in Financial Crime Prevention located in Saxo’s headquarters in Hellerup. We are a team of 10 colleagues who work with defining standards, controls and procedures in relation to financial crime prevention and we are looking for an additional colleague to join our team. The goal of our team is to ensure that the procedures, models, and automated processes we employ in FCP are fit-for-purpose, adequately documented and implemented globally in Saxo. 
 

Within the team, you will work with colleagues with a background in law, project management, KYC and similar. You will also collaborate closely with the Transaction Monitoring Modelling & Development team as well as other subject-matter experts in different specialist functions, collecting and analysing their inputs, and turning them - together with your own expertise and analysis - into business procedures and requirements.

To succeed in the role, you need to be self-driven, structured and analytical, and enjoy taking ownership and collaborating with colleagues, since you will be required to support in decision making and documenting requirements.  

Responsibilities 

• Risk Assessment & Framework Development: Design, maintain, and execute a comprehensive risk assessment framework, including identifying and evaluating inherent and residual financial crime risks related to Transaction Monitoring
• Research & Stakeholder Collaboration: Collect and analyze relevant information through proactive collaboration across internal and global teams, combined with independent research and subject-matter expertise
• Reporting & Governance: Prepare clear and concise risk assessments, governance documents, recommendations, and reports, while supporting incident management and KPI reporting
• Advisory & Process Oversight: Provide guidance on monitoring processes and act as a trusted advisor on Transaction Monitoring within FCP

Your Profile

You are passionate about Transaction Monitoring and have extensive experience from the banking sector, with at least five years of supporting complex Transaction Monitoring projects. You thrive at the intersection of technology and compliance, combining a strong technical understanding of system solutions with the ability to identify risks, and document procedures and controls.

You bring in-depth knowledge of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations and the Transaction Monitoring regulatory framework, and you excel at identifying, assessing, and documenting risk.

With strong communication, analytical, and problem-solving skills, you can interpret and apply regulatory requirements to mitigate risk exposure and support informed decision-making. Highly organized and detail-oriented, you manage multiple priorities with ease in a fast-paced environment. Experience working at the interface between regulations and Transaction Monitoring development is essential, and prior engagement with regulatory authorities will be considered a strong advantage.

If you are living abroad, we are looking forward to learning more about whether you plan to relocate in your application. Please note that no financial relocation support is offered as part of joining the role, and we require that you primarily work from the office in Hellerup.

We conduct interviews on a continuous basis, so send your application sooner rather than later.
