Depending on your profile, knowledge and experience, the role may also include compliance activities within operational risk, data quality and data governance. As a team, we balance professionalism with a sense of humour and maintain an informal atmosphere where people enjoy coming to work.

Responsibilities

You will join an organisation where the foundation of the business is built on ICT and where platform availability is key to help clients get invested in the world. In the Prudential Oversight Compliance Team, ICT regulation is a core focus, and you will help us support Saxo in continuously driving this important area in a compliant direction.

Moreover, we are looking for someone who is detail-oriented, can work independently while taking an active role in teamwork, and enjoys collaborating with colleagues and stakeholders across the entire organisation.
