Job description

A product-oriented banking and finance professional who understands both the commercial transaction and the accounting behind it, and can bridge Finance & Accounting with Product & Tech to create scalable system solutions.

Bank at core, innovation at heart

Nordiska is a bank offering a complete range of financial services, allowing us to tailor solutions to each customer while simultaneously enabling them to gain access to advanced financial technology. Part of our offering is our Embedded platform, enabling enterprise partners across Europe to seamlessly integrate financial services – including saving, lending, and payments – into innovative product offerings. Additionally, we provide corporate and real estate financing, as well as sustainable savings with a government-backed deposit guarantee.

To meet future demands, we continuously scale our modern technology platform, expand partner integrations, and accelerate product innovation to help shape the future of financial services.

Working at Nordiska

Since our founding, we have been committed to driving innovation and creating meaningful impact. We work towards an ambitious vision and goals, backed up by our history of successfully delivering high-quality results and sustainable growth.

Historically and going forward, the people working at Nordiska are what enables our success. We balance our professional environment with an entrepreneurial mindset, always acting with honesty and responsibility, to build long‑term trust among customers, partners and employees.

About the Role

We are looking for a person to join our Product organisation and operate in the intersection between Finance, Accounting, Banking Products and Technology.

The role will act as an important link between Finance & Accounting and Product & Tech, with a particular focus on how banking products and business events are represented, processed and accounted for across our systems.

You will need to understand the full business flow behind a financial transaction – for example how a card purchase, loan disbursement, repayment, interest accrual or deposit moves through our banking platform – and translate that into robust system and accounting requirements.

This is therefore not a traditional accounting role. We are looking for someone who combines a solid understanding of accounting with strong systems thinking and an understanding of banking products and processes.

In the role, you will

• Act as the link between Finance & Accounting and Product & Tech when developing and improving financial and banking processes.
• Understand end-to-end business flows and translate them into system and accounting requirements.
• Define how different business events should be represented and accounted for across the banking platform, financial systems and General Ledger.
• Work with transaction and accounting flows related to areas such as cards, loans and credits, savings and deposits, payments, interest and fees, repayments, settlement and reconciliation.
• Ensure that accounting logic implemented in our systems accurately reflects both the underlying business event and requirements from Finance.
• Map and document business processes, transaction flows and accounting flows.
• Translate Finance and Accounting requirements into clear specifications for Product and Engineering.
• Participate in development and implementation of new banking products and functionality from an accounting and financial systems perspective.
• Identify gaps, manual processes and reconciliation issues and drive improvements and increased automation.
• Support the design of integrations and data flows between Core Banking, payment systems, product systems and financial/accounting systems.
• Contribute to scalable financial processes as products, transaction volumes and the organisation grow.

Your Professional Profile

We are looking for an analytical and structured professional with a strong understanding of accounting and financial flows, combined with experience in banking and financial systems. You enjoy exploring complex business flows, investigating discrepancies and translating Finance and Accounting needs into clear requirements. You communicate clearly, collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders and combine attention to detail with a broader business perspective.

We believe that you have

• You have a BSc or MSc in Business Administration, Finance, or equivalent, preferably with an Accounting focus.
• You understand accounting principles, financial flows and how business events translate into accounting entries and reporting.
• You have experience with Core Banking Systems or transaction-heavy financial platforms, as well as ERP systems such as NetSuite.
• You understand how banking systems handle transactions, balances, interest, fees and accounting events.
• You have experience with banking products such as cards, lending, savings, or payments.
• You are analytical and structured, able to analyse end-to-end flows, investigate discrepancies and translate Finance and Accounting needs into business and system requirements.
• You collaborate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders and communicate complex concepts clearly.

It is meritorious if you have

• Experience with Mambu or another modern Core Banking Platform.
• Experience from a digital bank, fintech, consumer finance company or specialist bank.
• Experience with reconciliation, settlement and General Ledger integrations.
• Experience working closely with software engineering teams.
