The role

We are seeking a Regional Legal Counsel or Regional Compliance Counsel to join our Regional Legal & Regulatory team, with a particular focus on the Swedish and Danish markets, and broader regional support as required.

Reporting directly to the Regional Head of Legal and Regulatory, you will act as a key advisor to the business on implementing legal and regulatory frameworks, particularly in the areas of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Duty of Care, in a way that is both commercially pragmatic and operationally effective.

This is a strategic, business-facing role where you will proactively support our regional operations by translating complex regulatory requirements into practical guidance, fostering a culture of compliance and integrity, and contributing to the development of robust internal processes and controls.

What you will do

• Provide expert legal and regulatory advice, particularly on AML and Duty of Care obligations, ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
• Monitor, interpret, and communicate regulatory developments and their potential impact on the business and its operations.
• Take a leading role in industry and trade organizations, helping to represent and raise awareness of FDJ UNITED's position and priorities.
• Promote a strong compliance culture across the organization through effective communication, training, and stakeholder engagement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to strengthen risk management strategies and ensure alignment with business objectives.
• Oversee and enhance administrative and reporting processes within the compliance function to improve efficiency and consistency.
• Conduct compliance risk assessments, identify areas for improvement, and propose effective mitigation strategies. 

Compliance obligations:

• Ensure that you adhere to the Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC) obligations for your role.
• Identify and raise any non-compliance incidents promptly to your line manager.
• Challenge processes, policies and projects that will negatively impact compliance within the Group.
• Complete all mandatory compliance training assigned to you.

How will success be measured in this role

• Acting in line with FDJ UNITED values
• Successful completion of all relevant training and other compliance activities that support FDJ's sustainable and responsible growth

Your experience

• Master's degree in law (LL.M) or equivalent legal qualification, with strong knowledge of Swedish law and relevant EU directives.
• Minimum 6 years' experience in regulatory compliance or legal advisory roles — ideally within the banking, fintech, or regulated gaming industries.
• Proven ability to translate legal and regulatory requirements into practical business and operational processes.
• Excellent communication skills in Swedish and English, both written and verbal.
• Naturally curious, commercially minded, and hands-on, with the ability to navigate ambiguity and evolving regulatory landscapes within a regional context.
