Trade Surveillance Analyst

The Role

We are seeking to hire an exceptional individual to join our compliance team based out of London. The role sits within Market Controls & Reporting and combines day-to-day operation of the trade surveillance programme with the oversight and design of the same programme. This role involves safeguarding the firm against reputational and financial risks by conducting comprehensive surveillance across various markets and financial products. The ideal candidate will be highly self-motivated, organized, and attentive to detail. You should be capable of managing a diverse workload and prioritizing tasks in a fast-paced, ever-evolving corporate environment.

 

What you’ll do 

• Operate the firm’s trade surveillance programme end to end: triage and disposition alerts across asset classes, escalate potential market abuse, and maintain a clear and defensible record of the rationale for each outcome.
• Monitor, analyze, and report on compliance issues related to trade surveillance, focusing on market manipulation and insider trading.
• Improve the programme as well as run it: review scenario coverage, calibrate thresholds and parameters, reduce false positives, and identify and close coverage gaps.<
