About this opportunity
Welcome to the “TM Controls and Optimisation” team, within the Transaction Monitoring (TM) unit. 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 where we act. As the GFCP Senior Expert, you will play a valuable role in fighting against financial crime. Our team is part of GFCP, which provides group-wide solutions to fight financial crime in Nordea. We develop, manage and optimise automated TM controls across all the financial services businesses that together comprise the Nordea Group.
 The high focus on Financial Crime in the group gives the appointed candidate a unique and exciting opportunity to continue to create “best in class” TM control solutions and lay the foundations for the future.    
 The Control Owner will be accountable for the holistic end-to-end effectiveness and efficiency of the existing and future TM controls including – but not limited to – data quality & coverage issues, segmentation activation issues or broader control issues. The Control Owner will create, own and implement a roadmap with the purpose to maintain or increase the value of the associated TM control area.

* Have a thorough understanding of relevant control aspects, including associated Money Laundering / Terrorism Financing / Tax Evasion risks, regulatory expectations, technical implications, and business considerations (for example good knowledge of the underlying products and services is required)

 Collaboration with other TM capabilities will be the key to act on the accountability including access to all relevant data, backlogs and prioritizations – and if not existing, request relevant information.

* Capital Markets
