KYC analyst
Are you experienced with compliance risk, and are you naturally curious to understand the geopolitical landscape and the various nuances when looking at the business from a KYC perspective? Do you excel in conducting thorough analyses and would like to put this into play in a global energy trading company? If yes, you are in the right place.
Here’s what the job entails
In the role, your primary role will be to conduct KYCs (Know Your Customer) and sanctions screenings on our portfolio of counterparties.
Concretely, your responsibilities include:
- follow up on the backlog of KYCs, making sure they are renewed in time
- handle ad-hoc queries from stakeholders
- conduct screening for sanctions and resolve false positives
- ensure that we keep relevant procedures and mandates up to date
- report to leadership on the development of our compliance risk in our portfolio of counterparties
Meet the team
You will join our KYC and Sanctions Operations team which is responsible for safeguarding the business by carrying out relevant screenings on our portfolio of counterparties. We play a crucial role in the day-to-day business as these screenings function as a prerequisite for conducting business with us. Besides this, our team is responsible for assisting the Credit Risk team.
We are a team of four professionals within counterparty due diligence. We are a dedicated and highly specialised team that functions both as guardians of the business, as well as partners to the organisation, working in close collaboration with stakeholders across the entire value chain.
You will act as an in-house guardian, carrying out thorough investigations of our counterparties – with the purpose of securing Danske Commodities from counterparty-related risk.
But enough about us… over to you!
Since you will be conducting analyses and risk assessments that directly impact decision-making, we are looking for a candidate who is detail-oriented and quality-minded. We also value a positive attitude— whether it is tackling a complex challenge or handling the finer details, no task is too big or small. Our team handles a wide range of responsibilities, and we always support each other to ensure every job gets done.
We also imagine that you:
- have a relevant educational background
- have experience with compliance, KYC or sanctions
- are familiar with compliance screening tools like Refinitiv, Dow Jones, LexisNexis, or similar
- are proficient in English – both written and verbal
Please note that it is not a requirement to have prior knowledge of the energy industry to enter this role.
