Are you an expert in financial steering and investment management? Do you excel at making strategic financial decisions and comfortably interact with senior leadership? If so, your skills are needed!

The Digital Investment Management (DIM) team, located within the CFO Area, is instrumental in directing financial decisions and managing investments across Danske Bank’s agile and cross-functional development organization.

We are committed to continuously enhancing the development organization’s financial steering model to ensure alignment with agile principles, governance, and processes.
