• Identifying relevant compliance risks and assisting the business with robust and operational solutions
• Ensuring compliance with financial regulation and internal policies in our European business, including conducting training, compliance controls, handling incidents and inquiries from regulatory authorities 
• Establishing and updating guidelines and procedures relevant for the European business
• Participating in relevant projects and external working groups as a legal expert on financial regulation.

To succeed in the role, you:
