The role is fully dedicated to MLRO responsibilities and comes with a clear mandate to strengthen structure, methodology, and ways of working across the area. You will be part of the compliance function and work closely with the Head of Compliance, your compliance colleagues, the Financial Crime Prevention team and the business. In this position you play a central role in shaping how the bank works with AML/CFT going forward, ensuring that the framework is robust, business‑anchored, and aligned with both regulatory expectations and organisational needs.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and regularly control compliance with AML/CFT legislation in the Nordic countries where the Bank operates as well as with internal rules and regulations.
• Assess and follow up on AML/CFT issues.
• Ensure reporting of suspicious activities and transactions and answer to requests from the FIUs.
• Report to the CEO and the Board.
• Monitor regulatory developments and assess their impact for the Bank.
• Provide qualified support to the business in matters relating to new products, process changes, and system improvements as well as other implications for the business of AML/CFT rules.
• Audit, monitor and control internal procedures, guidelines and AML/CFT measures in place and assess whether they are compliant, appropriate and effective and provide recommendations based on findings.
• Conduct general AML/CFT training.

About you

We are looking for a senior AML professional with strong hands‑on experience and the confidence to take independent ownership of a specialist area.

Qualifications

• At least five years of relevant AML experience.
• Very strong experience from the second line of defence.
• Experience from a bank, payment institution, fintech company, or another regulatory complex business.
• Fluency in Swedish and English.
• A law degree or other relevant academic background (a law degree is an advantage, but not a requirement).
• Experience in developing and delivering training is a requirement.
• Interest and knowledge in technology, AI, and new ways of working is a clear advantage.
• Confidence, self‑driven, structured, pragmatic and able to move things forward in a changing business environment, curious, forward‑looking and motivated by improving ways of working.
