Financial Markets Surveillance Officer

Are you a surveillance or analytical markets professional who has spent the last few years turning large, complex datasets into answers? Someone who investigates unusual trading, understands why a pattern looks off, and won't stop digging until the picture is clear? If you want to bring that experience to a team that pairs deep data analysis with automation to keep markets clean - in a collaborative environment where success is shared - we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

• Investigate trade surveillance alerts end-to-end: reconstructing order and trade activity from market data, and reviewing related communications, to identify risk factors, potential market abuse and undesired conduct, and establish what actually happened and why.
• Analyse large sets of market and trade data using SQL, Python and AI-assisted workflows to detect, evaluate and explain unusual trading patterns and assess potential risk.
• Build and automate detection logic, tooling and data pipelines - including AI and machine-learning-driven systems - that make surveillance faster, sharper and more scalable.
• Leverage AI workflows and systems to investigate alerts and surface risk more effectively, and help design, build and refine those systems.
• Design and test controls to detect and prevent market abuse, then measure whether they actually work.
• Contribute to the execution and continuous improvement of the compliance monitoring and surveillance framework.
• Review surveillance electronic communications alerts and follow them up to resolution.
• Combine technical skill with a solid understanding of the regulatory framework to keep controls fit for purpose.
• Identify gaps in the surveillance framework and push improvements that mitigate the firm's biggest risks and enable growth.
• Advise on and support the implementation of compliance requirements.
• Build strong communication lines across functions to enhance collaboration.

Who We're Looking For

• Analytical mindset - cuts through noisy, complex data to figure out what's really happening, flags outliers and unusual behaviour, and follows the thread until the answer is clear.
• Practical data skills - works comfortably in SQL and Python, hands-on with large, messy market and trade datasets.
• Capability with automation and AI - naturally looks to build or apply AI/ML tools and workflows that make surveillance more efficient and effective.
• Working regulatory knowledge - understands the market abuse and regulatory landscape well enough to apply it as context, not as a checklist to start from.
• Strong communicator - can turn a complicated finding into something simple and precise, on paper and in conversation.
• Driven and team-oriented - proactive, outcome-focused, and good at building relationships across teams.
• Relevant credentials - a bachelor's degree or equivalent, with exchange or regulatory experience seen as a plus.

What's on Offer

• A high-performing, collaborative culture surrounded by curious thinkers and creative problem solvers.
• A strong, performance-based reward structure.
• Training, mentorship and genuine personal development opportunities.
• A well-resourced, high-quality office environment (on-site catering, wellness perks, regular social events).
