**About the Team and Role**

Compliance is a key team that ensures Saxo Market's products and processes meet the spirit of regulatory requirements, but in so-doing, also adds value to the business by translating 'compliance' into good customer outcomes. Key to this is the Team's facilitation of open and transparent relationships internally and externally.
