Financial Crime Risk & Requirements Officer

Are you ready to build an effective, risk-based transaction monitoring system? Do you want to work in a dynamic fintech environment where you can make a real impact?

At Lunar, we are democratizing the power of money and changing the way we all bank, pay, and invest. Since starting in Aarhus in 2015, we've grown rapidly and are now a major player in the Nordics, with offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, and Stockholm. 🚀

So who are we? Are we a tech company or a bank? Well, we're both, breaking free from the usual categories. Here, tech isn't just a cool add-on; it's the core of how we do things. With our own banking license, we go head-to-head with traditional banks. What sets us apart is the mix of tech and financial services, giving us the power to shake up a dusty industry that's ready for a change.

As we continue our journey to becoming the best everyday bank in the Nordics, we are looking for a Financial Crime Risk & Requirements Officer to lead risk-based transaction monitoring assessments for our consumer and business products. This role will be instrumental in identifying potential financial crime risks, designing effective controls, and ensuring we proactively prevent illicit activities while maintaining a frictionless banking experience for our customers.

What will you do?

• Lead TM risk assessments to identify vulnerabilities and enhance risk coverage.

• Enhance controls and conduct gap analyses to improve our financial crime prevention framework.

• Design and implement risk-based TM scenarios that effectively detect suspicious activity.

• Develop and maintain a TM coverage assessment to ensure comprehensive risk oversight.

• Define and refine alert-handling requirements to improve detection accuracy and efficiency.

• Conduct deep dives into trends and potential areas of risk exposure.

• Collaborate with stakeholders across Lunar to facilitate projects and ensure alignment with our risk-based approach.

• Supporting our financial crime risk management efforts in other areas depending on your competencies and areas of interest.

Who are you?

The Team & Location:

You will be part of the Retail Financial Crime Prevention (FCP) team located in the Financial Crime Risk Management organisation, reporting to Caspar Dybdal, Head of Retail FCP Risk & Requirements. The Retail FCP team currently consists of three members, and are looking for additional colleagues , bringing complementary skills and a proactive, self-starting attitude.
