About the Role
This role sits at the center of IMC's expansion within APAC trading activities, particularly in the systematic equities space. You will shape how trade surveillance is done across the region and globally, setting the strategic direction for APAC trade surveillance while remaining hands-on. You will own the surveillance program across IMC's APAC trading entities and lead a small team, with the opportunity to grow it.
Responsibilities
- Set the strategic roadmap for APAC trade surveillance, defining long-term coverage priorities as the business expands into new markets, asset classes, and trading strategies.
- Investigate and resolve trade surveillance alerts across market abuse typologies including spoofing, layering, ramping, marking the close, wash trading, and insider trading indicators.
- Manage alert queues and ensure timely investigation and closure of alerts.
- Own responses to regulatory and exchange inquiries relating to trading activity.
- Design and calibrate surveillance alert parameters as new markets, strategies, and products come online.
- Own electronic communications surveillance (review of flagged emails and chat messages).
- Drive data analysis and reporting in support of broader compliance team needs.
- Work with software development teams on surveillance platform enhancements, including regulatory data feeds, internal surveillance tooling, and external surveillance systems.
- Own the design of surveillance coverage for new markets and asset classes, including Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Singapore, United States, China, and markets on the roadmap.
- Support the APAC assurance program with surveillance-related data and analysis.
- Lead and develop a team of surveillance professionals, including setting objectives, providing feedback and coaching, and ensuring coverage and development needs are met.
Requirements
- Significant experience in trade surveillance within financial services, with a background at a proprietary trading firm, market maker, or HFT/systematic firm preferred.
- Demonstrated ability to lead a surveillance function or team, with experience managing, mentoring, or developing junior surveillance staff.
- Solid understanding of core market abuse typologies (spoofing, layering, ramping, wash trading, insider trading).
- Knowledge of CSRC program trading rules, SFC Code of Conduct, or ASIC Market Integrity Rules.
- Experience with at least one surveillance platform (OneTick, SMARTS, Nice Actimize, or equivalent).
- Experience designing or calibrating surveillance alerts from scratch.
- Ability to work with trading data using Python, SQL, or equivalent tools.
- APAC markets experience across any combination of Hong Kong, Korea, Japan, Australia, China, or Singapore.
- Experience with equities surveillance, derivatives or commodities is preferred.
- Commercial awareness: an understanding of trading strategies and market microstructure, and the ability to apply that knowledge to distinguish genuine behaviour from potential misconduct.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills; regulatory inquiry responses require clear, precise writing.
