Local Compliance Officer – Stockholm, Sweden

COMPANY PROFILE

Our client is a leading international organisation operating within financial services and sustainable mobility. As part of a larger global group, the company operates in a highly regulated environment and works closely with both local and international regulatory frameworks.
Compliance plays a vital role in the business, helping to ensure responsible growth, strong governance, and long-term trust. The organisation values expertise, collaboration, and continuous development, creating an environment where employees are encouraged to grow professionally while making a meaningful impact.

REGION

This role is based in Stockholm, Sweden ( office-first, remote by agreement) and focuses on supporting the Swedish business while collaborating closely with international stakeholders across the wider group. You will work with both local and global teams, balancing local regulatory requirements with group-wide standards and expectations.

TASKS / RESPONSIBILITIES

As Local Compliance Officer, you will play a central role in developing, implementing, and continuously strengthening the Swedish compliance framework. The position combines strategic advisory work with hands-on compliance activities, giving you broad exposure across the business and the opportunity to influence key decisions.
Your responsibilities will include:

Monitoring and interpreting regulatory developments and ensuring alignment with local and group-wide requirements.
Developing and maintaining the local compliance and control framework.
Advising the business on areas including AML/CTF, KYC, sanctions, customer protection, conflicts of interest, anti-corruption, and business ethics.
Identifying, assessing, and monitoring compliance and integrity risks.
Delivering compliance training, awareness initiatives, and guidance across the organisation.
Investigating incidents and supporting the implementation of mitigating actions.
Collaborating with management, legal, risk, internal audit, and external regulatory authorities.

PROFILE

This role is suited to someone who combines strong regulatory expertise with a pragmatic and business-oriented mindset. You are comfortable working independently, building trusted relationships across the organisation, and providing clear guidance in complex situations.
We believe you bring:

A university degree in Swedish law or an equivalent legal qualification.
At least five years of experience within compliance, legal, risk management, or a related area.
Strong knowledge of financial sector regulations and regulatory frameworks.
Experience within AML, KYC, sanctions, financial crime prevention, or related compliance areas is considered an advantage.
A structured and analytical approach with the ability to balance regulatory expectations with business realities.
Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the confidence to challenge and influence stakeholders when needed.

Why Swedish is essential

This role goes beyond simply communicating in Swedish. As Local Compliance Officer, you will interpret Swedish legislation and regulatory guidance, advise local management and business stakeholders, support governance processes, deliver training, and interact with Swedish supervisory authorities when needed.

To successfully navigate regulatory nuances, assess legal obligations, and communicate complex compliance matters with precision and credibility, professional fluency in Swedish is essential. At the same time, the international nature of the organisation requires excellent English skills for collaboration with group functions and stakeholders across multiple countries.

SALARY AND BENEFITS

You will join an international organisation where compliance is viewed as a strategic business function and where your expertise will have a direct impact on the continued development of the Swedish operation.
The company offers:

A highly visible and influential role within the Swedish business.
The opportunity to shape and strengthen the local compliance agenda.
Significant ownership and autonomy in your work.
An open, collaborative, and inclusive working environment.
