It is vital for us that the non-financial risks are under control, so that Nordea remains as a safe and trusted bank for our customers and society. Would you like to be part of making this happen?

Welcome to Group Business Support (GBS), an organization that drives optimization of our operational efficiencies, allowing Business Areas to focus on what they do best: to serve our customers and drive income growth initiatives. GBS is the backbone of the largest bank in the Nordics and is formed by many skilled colleagues that work towards making a positive difference. Take a sneak peek here and look how graduate life looks like at Nordea.

The graduate programme is designed to kickstart your career. The programme is for 2 years starting in September 2022, and you will have rotations during this time with clear learning objectives to support your growth and define your path to a successful career. You will be connected to several colleagues that will provide you sparring, guidance and support throughout the whole programme. You will also be offered mentoring, to ensure your personal and professional growth.  

About this opportunity

Within GBS, you will find the GBS Office, home to close to 100 colleagues and the teams “Management Oversight” and “Management Support”.
 

Management Oversight works closely with the executive management in GBS and the rest of the Group. In our team we i) secure a risk oversight and improved governance within the non-financial risk management space, ii)  support GBS’ ambition of achieving an overall control environment within risk appetite, iii) drive strategic and impactful non-financial risk projects across GBS, and iv) make Nordea more resilient to uncertainty and unforeseen events, i.e. GBS Management Oversight was instrumental in ensuring the bank was operationally available for our customers during the coronavirus pandemic.
 

Management Support works closely with the executive management in GBS and across the bank. In our team, we facilitate key executive forums and drive various strategic assignments and deliveries, which can range from data to technology and workplace management. The work in our team requires a considerable amount of stakeholder management, as you will be working with colleagues across the bank. This is an opportunity to better understand the bank’s ecosystem at large and gain insights into Nordea’s operating model while building your personal network.
