Hands on working experience from Nordic banks, either in-house or in a consultancy role, within the areas of fraud prevention, AML or cyber security, is a requirement. As is familiarity with project management in multi-stakeholder environments. A proven track record of driving technology improvements while maintaining a strategic vision will set you apart. You also have good insight and understanding of current data sharing initiatives on a Nordic and European level, both from a technology and legal perspective.
