Compliance Specialist, Control Room

About the Position

We are looking for an experienced Compliance Specialist to own and grow our control room function in Hong Kong. This team decides when Jane Street should stop trading a name — for example, if we've been wall-crossed on a deal, or due to sanctions or other regulatory concerns.

Our trading business in Asia is growing quickly, and the volume and variety of restrictions we handle is growing with it. On any given day you might be walking a desk through what they can and can't do while a restriction is live, working with our Global Capital Markets team on a time-sensitive block or assessing whether a new sanctions regime touches instruments we hold. 

Additional responsibilities of the role will include:

• Running day-to-day restriction processes end-to-end, including evaluating the scope of affected names, applying and lifting restrictions, and record keeping
• Advising traders, our Business Development team, and other teams on what a restriction means in practice
• Owning the policies and procedures behind these business lines and processes, and keeping them accurate as our business, systems and regulations change
• Handling sanctions and government-driven trading restrictions and monitoring for any changes that affect us
• Supporting surveillance
