It is key to collaborate and deliver high quality at the right time with the relevant level of engagement with stakeholders, while at the same time continuing to be innovative and curious.

The ITSD team plays a critical role in maturing the risk discipline and understanding of IT, Security and Data risk in Danske Bank. This is done by 2LoD risk-based monitoring, advice, review, challenge, reporting and control testing to ensure effective risk management according to the Bank’s risk management frameworks. Staying on top of emerging regulations, risks, and best practice techniques, understanding the Bank’s core values, and promoting alignment of roles and responsibilities for handling of non-financial risks is also key to fulfilling this role.

Solid Stakeholder Management And Strong Management Skills

As Head of IT, Security and Data you will be applying your leadership skills navigating in a complex organizational set-up and have close collaboration with your peers throughout the Group.

In addition, we imagine that you have:

• Direct leadership experience in a similar 2LoD Head of risk oversight role in the Nordic banking industry with a strong understanding of the Nordic industry and regulatory context. Danske Bank experience in a similar role would be an advantage.
