- Support conflicts of interest, information barrier, and personal account dealing matters across Markets Compliance.
Requirements
- Experience investigating market abuse or trading conduct within a regulated firm (e.g., exchange, broker-dealer, trading venue).
- Proven track record of running investigations end to end, including writing findings and presenting conclusions to stakeholders.
- Working knowledge of core market abuse typologies (e.g., spoofing, wash trading, insider trading, front running, ramping).
- Experience with or strong knowledge of threshold and model calibration, surveillance platform integration, market abuse risk assessments, and audit remediation.
- Comfort using generative AI and other automation tools to enhance investigative work while maintaining human oversight.
- Familiarity with a surveillance platform (e.g., Scila, Nasdaq SMARTS, Eventus, NICE Actimize) and SQL or similar query tools.
