    Beskrivelse

    Would you like to be a significant contributor to the implementation and execution of an effective 1st LoD controls management framework in Danske Bank?

    We are looking for an experienced banking professional with the passion to build, shape, influence and deliver a robust testing framework in the Financial Risk area.

    As a part of the Controls Management unit in Business Controls & Product Management, you will implement and coordinate 1st LoD controls testing of key controls related to financial risks across the 3 business units in Danske Bank. You will coordinate your activities with other Financial and Non-Financial risk controls testing teams and agree on a testing methodology, plan and schedule. When executing your testing schedule, you will be diving into control documentation and execution evidence to assess the design and operating effectiveness of the controls in question, and their adequacy to adhere to external and internal governing documents whilst ensuring a fair outcome to our customers. You will report your findings to control owners and work with business representatives to identify appropriate resolution of control weaknesses.

    Controls Management is an independent 1st LoD control testing unit, separate from the control ownership and operation in the business units, with the aim to ensure that controls are designed and operated effectively. As the Head of Financial Risk Testing, you will have approximately 10 employees reporting directly to you.

    4. Drive the automation of testing and assurance activities, as well as the automation of reporting, working closely with the Data and Reporting & Insights team experts

    5. Cooperate with Head of Framework when conducting control gap assessments, control testing & assurance remediations and input into our key controls list

    6. First point of contact in 1st line for credit testing related queries from regulators, and owner of collated presentations and speaker notes towards Heads of Business

    7: Roll out Credit Testing Instructions within 1LoD control management and develop ways of working for teams, defining and agreeing roles and responsibilities between Front Line, BCPM and 2nd line, across all locations and BUs

    8: Develop test scripts for key controls, test frequency and reporting expectations with BU and 2nd line for credit, liquidity and market risks

    9: Plan and deliver adequate cross training and upskilling of team members, ensuring business continuity at all times

    10: Drive the strategic move to "combined assurance model", liaising across 3 LoDs to gain more efficiencies when setting up BOT
