We are much smaller than Nordea Bank, which means closer collaboration, shorter decision paths and strong ownership in day-to-day work. At the same time, because we are part of the Nordea Group, the role also requires the ability to work across shared platforms, common processes and a larger enterprise environment. We are a small company recognized repeatedly as Finland's best financial sector workplace by Great Place to Work and winner of the Finnish Quality Award. Quality is not a project; it is part of how we think. We do things properly, improve continuously, and keep structures light so people can focus on meaningful work\nAbout this opportunity\nWelcome to Nordea Life & Pension Finland. We are a solvent Finnish life insurance company and part of the Nordea Group, but we are not Nordea Bank’s everyday banking business.
