Special Investigations & Regulatory Reporting (“Special Investigations”) is looking for a new team member with three to five years of experience in planning, coordinating and tracking projects, preferably in the context of financial crime.
You'll join a team which is developing to bolster Nordea's ability to conduct financial crime related investigations, respond to requests for information (“RFIs”) from supervisors and coordinate reviews of customers with financial crime exposure. The location of the role is subject to negotiation but will preferably be in the Nordics. Poland or Estonia could also be considered.
About this opportunity
Special Investigations lead on managing end-to-end investigations of a financial crime nature with the potential for material consequences to Nordea. Such matters are typically prompted by RFIs, or external events that require Nordea to assess any possible exposure. Your role will be to assist in coordinating and tracking investigations where Special Investigations is involved, follow and develop governance, and contribute to internal reporting. The role will enable you to assist in developing processes to ensure that there is efficiency with what we do, but also ensure that there is appropriate record keeping and accountability in risk mitigating actions.
The investigations we lead are conducted in close collaboration with other teams, including MLRO and often require additional support from other internal and external stakeholders. With Special Investigations, you will get an opportunity to work with different people across the organisation, and you can expect to develop a broad understanding of the various financial crime risks that Nordea addresses.
What you will be doing
You will assist in, for example:
* Planning investigations related to financial crime to ensure that they meet set objectives
* Scheduling and overseeing investigations to ensure that they are conducted in accordance with an agreed methodology, and delivered on time
* Collaborating with various stakeholders to ensure the end-to-end management of an investigation
* Maintaining records associated with financial crime related investigations or projects which can be used in, for example, training and auditing 
* Establishing investigation governance to ensure e.g. that matters that are appropriately escalated and resolved

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 an appreciation for structure and are highly organised
* Ensure that decisions are appropriately taken, recorded and then tracked
* Are comfortable working independently and can manage multiple and separate threads of work
* Can communicate clearly with various audiences in mind including senior stakeholders
* Have a problem-solving attitude, with an ability to contribute to well-reasoned decision making in a team
* Work with stakeholders to find solutions when archiving large volumes of data
* Can work within high-pressured circumstances and towards time-sensitive deliveries
* Have an understanding of the various tools and systems that are used in financial crime related investigations

On your experience and background you have:
* A practical knowledge of running projects and/or processes, with three to five years of experience, in the financial or a regulated sector (this could be in e.g. a legal, compliance, audit or monitoring role)
* Experience following agreed governance and ensuring that others follow suit which lends itself to leadership positions in similar roles
* Experience developing governance and supporting materials would also be beneficial
* A high proficiency in English, both spoken and written, as a prerequisite, and it is beneficial to have Nordic language skills
* An ability to create and clearly present investigation updates and findings through all Microsoft Office packages
