Group Senior Compliance Officer to Hoist Finance

The role – what are your main focus areas?

As Group Senior Compliance Officer, you will take on a key role within Hoist Finance’s independent Group Compliance function in supporting the business in managing compliance risks and strengthening the internal control environment across the Group.

The role has a broad mandate, with particular focus on AML/CTF, sanctions compliance, internal governance and control, third-party risk management and emerging regulatory areas such as AI governance. You will provide expert advice, support the implementation of effective controls and reporting processes, and work closely with the Risk Control function and other stakeholders to promote a robust and sustainable control framework.

You will be based at Hoist Finance’s headquarters in Stockholm and work in an international environment with colleagues and stakeholders across Europe. The role requires both strategic perspective and hands-on execution, including supporting allocated markets where dedicated local Compliance resources are not in place.

The position reports directly to the Chief Compliance Officer and includes limited travel to Hoist’s markets.

Key responsibilities – what will you do?

• Develop and maintain Hoist Finance’s Group AML/CTF framework, including policies, procedures, governance arrangements, awareness initiatives and training activities.

• Analyse AML/CTF risks and help shape the overall risk management approach, ensuring that priorities, controls and compliance initiatives are aligned with regulatory requirements, business needs and the Group’s risk profile.

• Manage FIU reporting and other required AML/CTF-related notifications, submissions and follow-up actions to competent authorities.

• Provide Compliance support and coordination for allocated local markets, including regular dialogue with Managing Directors and relevant stakeholders on regulatory developments, compliance gaps and implementation status.

• Support the ongoing development of the third-party risk management programme by identifying improvement opportunities, promoting awareness and contributing to effective governance and control over outsourced and external service arrangements.

• Act as a trusted advisor to the business on compliance matters, with particular focus on AML/CTF, sanctions, internal governance and control, and third-party risk management.

• Collaborate with the Specially Appointed Executive, the Outsourcing Officer and other relevant control functions to promote clear responsibilities, effective coordination and alignment across the lines of defence.

• Report consolidated Compliance status to management and the Board, including material developments, identified gaps and remediation progress in allocated markets.

Who are you?

You hold a legal degree and have approximately 5-10 years’ experience from the financial sector, preferably in a cross-border or international environment. You have strong knowledge of AML/CTF rules and regulations, restrictive measures, sanctions frameworks and relevant industry practice.

You also have sound understanding of internal governance and control frameworks, including relevant regulatory expectations such as the EBA Outsourcing Guidelines and DORA. To succeed in the role, you combine analytical thinking and structured problem-solving with strong attention to detail, sound judgement and the ability to manage multiple priorities under tight deadlines.

You will become part of an experienced control environment where collaboration across Compliance, Risk and the business is an important part of how we work. For the right person, this is an opportunity to take significant ownership and make an impact in a senior international compliance role.

You communicate clearly and professionally, build trust with stakeholders, and are comfortable working both independently and collaboratively in a matrix organisation. Excellent written and spoken English is required; Swedish or other European languages are considered an advantage.
