Welcome to the Group Internal Audit (GIA). We add value by supporting the Nordea Group Board and Group Executive Management in protecting the assets, reputation and sustainability of the largest bank in the Nordics. Model Risk team within GIA is responsible for providing audit assurance over controls covering end-to-end model lifecycle, including model governance, model development, implementation, monitoring and independent model validation.

As an Internal Audit Manager, you’ll play a valuable role in auditing the key models, including credit risk (IRB), counterparty credit risk (IMM) and market risk models (IMA) in line with ECB expectations establishing whether Nordea is following these key regulations. In addition, you will need to develop good stakeholder and team relationships as part of this role and work in a strong and technical audit team within the Risk and Finance team.

This means that although you will work with colleagues around Nordics, travel is kept at family and environmentally friendly levels.
