Your task is to identify evidence through financial analysis and mapping, clarify connections between individuals and networks, investigate economic motives, and secure assets in preparation for potential forfeiture or damages.
You will participate in investigations involving, for example, systematic fraud, extensive benefit fraud, money laundering, and matters concerning independent forfeiture. The work is conducted primarily as part of an investigation team, where you are responsible for providing specialist expertise within the financial field. You will also have independent responsibility for planning, conducting, and reporting your part of the investigation.
The role also includes contributing to internal competency development in the area of financial investigation and financial crime. You are expected to actively share your knowledge with colleagues within the organization.

Reviewing the financial circumstances of individuals and businesses
Presenting and presenting analyses to investigators, prosecutors, and other decision-makers, and providing recommendations for further action
Participation in interviews and other investigative measures, including, if necessary, testifying based on your own analysis work
The role places high demands on analytical ability, integrity, and the ability to work in a structured and results-oriented manner in complex cases. The work takes place in an environment where collaboration, confidentiality, and accuracy are of the utmost importance.

Personal Qualities
We are looking for someone who is confident in your professional role and who enjoys varied work with significant independent responsibility. You are flexible, structured, and have the ability to handle assignments with short notice and to work on several parallel investigations simultaneously.
The work tasks require that you are analytical, curious, and have a good ability to identify connections in complex information. You can independently drive investigations forward, take your own initiatives, while at the same time you have an easy time collaborating both internally with colleagues and externally with other stakeholders.
