Infosys is a global leader in digital services and consulting, with over 300,000 employees worldwide. We partner with some of the world's largest and most complex organizations, delivering scalable, high-quality solutions across industries through deep domain expertise and strong governance frameworks.

Position Summary:

Infosys Norway is seeking an experienced AML Officer to establish, manage, and continuously enhance the Organization's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Program in accordance with Norwegian regulatory requirements and applicable European standards. The role will serve as the designated AML Officer for Norway and will act as the primary liaison between Infosys Norway, regulatory authorities, external AML consulting partners and internal stakeholders.

The role requires deep expertise in AML governance, risk assessment, regulatory reporting oversight, policy development, vendor due diligence, record retention, training, and regulatory engagement.

Note: This is not a transaction-monitoring role or banking domain AML investigator role. The position focuses on enterprise-wide AML governance, program management, regulatory compliance, and operational oversight.

Key Responsibilities:

• Act as the designated AML Officer for Infosys Norway and primary point of contact for regulators, auditors, and inspections.
• Develop, implement, establish AML governance structures & controls, and maintain an enterprise-wide AML compliance framework for Infosys Norway in line with Hvitvaskingsloven and applicable EU regulatory requirements.
• Own AML governance at an organizational level, including policies, procedures, risk assessments, regulatory readiness and present AML compliance status, incidents, and remediation status, and risk updates to senior management.
• Establish and oversee a risk-based AML program tailored to a non-financial, corporate services environment and ensure timely completion of regulatory obligations and reporting requirements.
• Provide strategic oversight of AML activities performed by external service providers, while retaining full internal accountability.
• Ensure that all non-outsourceable AML responsibilities (governance, approvals, escalations, and regulatory engagement) are managed internally.
• Review onboarding controls for vendors and third parties and ensure mandatory AML/KYC screening is completed prior to onboarding.
• Review high-risk vendor relationships/high-risk matters from an enterprise risk perspective, including escalations, PEP exposure, and enhanced due diligence outcomes and develop escalation and approval mechanisms for AML-related risks.
• Maintain AML-related records and documentation, ensure regulatory record retention requirements are met and audit-ready.
• Ensure timely and accurate reporting of suspicious activities to Økokrim.
• Identify AML program gaps and enterprise-level risks, and drive remediation, enhancements, continuous improvement and promote a strong AML governance, compliance, and risk culture across the organization.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in law, Risk Management, Business Administration, Finance, Economics, or a related discipline.
• Postgraduate or professional qualifications in AML, Compliance, Risk, or Governance preferred.

Professional Qualifications and Experience:

• Strong experience in designing, implementing, or overseeing enterprise or organization-wide AML compliance programs in non-financial or professional services environments.
• Demonstrated understanding of AML governance, regulatory accountability, and risk-based frameworks beyond transactional or financial crime investigations.
• Experience operating as, or closely supporting, an AML Officer/Compliance Officer role with Board and regulator interaction.
• Ability to assess AML risk assessments, governance controls, third-party frameworks, and regulatory expectations at an organizational level.
• Seniority and independence to challenge risk positions and escalate matters to senior leadership and the Board.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, particularly with regulators, auditors, and executive leadership.
• High integrity, independence, and sound judgment.
• Familiarity with Norwegian Anti-Money Laundering legislation and EU AML directives preferred; adaptability to local regulatory requirements is essential.
• Strong proficiency in English and Norwegian is mandatory.
