Do you want to supervise Denmark's largest credit institutions?

Do you want to work with some of the largest and most complex banks and SIFI groups and help form the overall picture of their risks and governance? If you have experience with financial supervision or relevant experience from the financial sector, you may be the colleague we are looking for in the Office for Supervision of Groups and Governance.

About the office

We are 27 employees with diverse professional backgrounds, including economists and lawyers. The office consists of two teams, and you will become part of the team with the overall supervisory responsibility for the largest Danish SIFI groups and banks.

Our focus is the group as a whole. Among other things, we supervise the group's management and overall governance and have ongoing dialogue at both management level and with central functions, including risk management, compliance and internal audit as well as external audit.

A number of important risk areas – e.g. credit, market, liquidity and anti-money laundering risk – are handled by the Financial Supervisory Authority's specialized expert offices, which make the professional assessments in their respective areas. Our task is to have a holistic view and ensure that significant risks and the interrelations between them are identified and addressed from a supervisory perspective at the group level.

Thus, the job differs from a specialist role. You do not need to be the deepest expert in a single risk area, but you should be able to understand and assess how different risks, business areas and governance factors affect the bank or conglomerate as a whole.

What tasks will you perform?

Your tasks and responsibilities will depend on your experience. You will, among other things, be:

• following and assessing the development of the bank's and group's risk profile
• planning and carrying out the ongoing group supervision
• collaborating with the Financial Supervisory Authority's specialist offices and participating in supervisory activities so that key observations are included in the overall assessment
• participating in and – depending on your experience – leading functional and topic inspections
• engaging in the ongoing dialogue with banks and SIFI groups
• handling relevant applications and inquiries from institutions.

Depending on your profile and interests, you may also join one of the office's professional teams within, for example, operational risk, data and model governance or group and conglomerate rules. There may also be opportunities to participate in European cooperation within the European Banking Authority (EBA).

What do we expect from you?

You are motivated by viewing banks and SIFI groups in a broad perspective and understanding interconnections rather than working within a narrow specialist area.

We especially expect that you have experience with financial supervision and knowledge of the financial sector and regulation. Relevant supervisory experience from other areas can also be a good starting point. You may also have built your experience in the financial sector, e.g. within risk management, compliance or governance.

We place emphasis on the following

• You have analytical judgement. You can handle large amounts of information, ask the relevant questions and cut to the core issues.
• You can drive processes and follow up tasks to the end. You take responsibility, can plan larger sequences and create momentum, even when there are many contributions and interests at stake.
• You communicate clearly and openly. You articulate complex issues precisely both in writing and orally and can engage constructively in professional dialogue with experienced profiles – even when you disagree.

You are typically educated with a relevant master's degree, e.g. in economics, business economics, business law or law. If you have a different educational background, we will emphasize that your experience and professional profile give you a correspondingly strong basis for the role.

We offer

You will have the opportunity to apply your experience in new ways in the work with the largest and most complex banks and SIFI groups. You will gain a broad perspective on their business, governance and risks and have the opportunity to develop through complex supervisory tasks and greater responsibility.

At the same time, you will be part of an important societal task, contributing to a robust financial sector and financial stability.

The Financial Supervisory Authority is a workplace with a high professional level, an informal tone, and a good working environment. We also offer a number of employee benefits, including paid lunch break, canteen scheme, massage, laundry, free parking and various professional and social activities.

What are the terms of employment?

Your employment will be governed by the applicable collective agreement between AC and the Ministry of Finance. Upon appointment, you must present a criminal record certificate. Expected start date is as soon as possible and no later than 1 January 2027.
