About the role

Translated into English from Swedish by Korum. The employer's original wording is on their site.

Would you like to lead a function that plays a central role in the bank's business while driving the development of processes and ways of working?

DNB Sverige is strengthening the Client Solution organisation to support sustainable growth and an increasing inflow of clients. We are now looking for an experienced and business-oriented leader for the role of Head of Trade Finance and Credit Middle Office (CMO).

You will report to the Head of Client Solution and lead one of the three new departments within the section, which is now undergoing a change journey. Standardisation, digitalisation, automation, self-service and data-driven follow-up will be important prerequisites for this transformation. Several initiatives are under way to support this journey, both within the line organisation and through projects initiated by the group.

As a member of the management team, you will play a central role in translating the strategic direction into concrete priorities, desired behaviours and measurable results.

Job description

You will lead a department of eight qualified specialists in Trade Finance, Working Capital and Credit Middle Office. The team's mission is to ensure the smooth and efficient execution of loan and trade finance transactions through coordination of documentation, approvals, onboarding and operational handling.

The department plays a central role in the bank and works with a large number of internal and external stakeholders. The focus is always on delivering with high efficiency and quality and on creating an outstanding client experience.

As an important link between front office, credit, operations and clients, the team works with functions within the Swedish branch, the bank's other international offices and central teams in Oslo. The department thus contributes to ensuring high service quality, maintaining regulatory compliance and creating an excellent client experience.

This is a leadership role in a team of experienced specialists. Your task is to further develop the operation and its ways of working, strengthen operational efficiency and promote skills development within the team. In close collaboration with employees and key stakeholders, you will drive change initiatives, promote collaboration and ensure that the department is well equipped to meet the bank's future growth ambitions.

Areas of responsibility:

  • Lead, support and develop a team of experienced specialists in Trade Finance and Credit Middle Office.

  • Drive the development of the department's ways of working and strengthen the team's collective competence in close collaboration with employees.

  • Improve quality and efficiency and strengthen operational risk management through standardisation, continuous improvement, digitalisation and automation.

  • Work closely with relevant teams and stakeholders within DNB Sverige and within the Nordic and international organisation.

Your background

You are a secure and supportive leader who creates engagement and stability even during change. With a clear business focus, you balance clients' needs, operational delivery and the long-term development of the business. You build trust, value specialist expertise and involve employees in decisions. You communicate fluently in both Swedish and English.

Requirements & experience

  • Relevant experience from banking, including Trade Finance and/or credit administration.

  • Documented experience of leading and developing experienced specialists.

  • Experience of driving organisational change and developing processes and ways of working.

  • Ability to use data and key figures as a basis for decisions and for following up results.
