Risk Specialist - Trading Control, Analysis & Reporting

Welcome to the newly established Trading Control, Analysis & Reporting team within Danske Bank Group Risk Management.

The Team

As part of the Market and Liquidity Risk (MLR) department, the Trading Control, Analysis & Reporting team operates as a second line of defence (2LoD). The team specialises in monitoring, analysing, and reporting market risk for fixed income, FX, equity, and xVA products in the Trading Book.

Our primary stakeholders include Markets trading and IT tribes within Large Corporate & Institutions, with whom we engage daily. We also collaborate extensively across MLR functions such as Banking Book, Liquidity, Modelling, and Governance, creating a cohesive approach to risk management.

The team’s core responsibilities include intraday monitoring and controlling market risk across the Markets trading desks. Additionally, we contribute to the development of a unified IT infrastructure and data platform, enhancing consistency and analytical capabilities for the entire MLR department.

• Supporting the development and maintenance of a unified IT infrastructure and data platform to ensure efficient, consistent, and accurate risk measurement and reporting.
• Assisting with compliance efforts related to regulatory requirements, including preparing documentation and materials for regulatory submissions or audits focused on trading and other market risks.

The team benefits from being located on Danske Bank’s trading floor in its contemporary Copenhagen offices. To maintain close collaboration, team members are expected to work from the office at least three days a week.
