About the role
Job Family: Investigator Travel Required: None Clearance Required: None What You Will Do: Monitor trading activity and review surveillance alerts to detect potential market abuse, manipulation, and suspicious trading behavior across multiple asset classes and venues. Perform hands-on alert investigation using a recognized market surveillance platform, applying order-book and trade reconstruction techniques to assess spoofing, layering, ramping, wash trading, marking the close, and other manipulation typologies. Analyze trading patterns, communications, and market data to determine whether activity warrants escalation, disposition, or further case development. Document investigative findings clearly and accurately, maintaining high-quality case notes and evidence packages to support internal review, compliance actions, and regulatory inquiries. Work closely with Compliance, Surveillance, Trading, and Technology teams to refine scenarios, improve alert quality, and support ongoing surveillance program effectiveness. Contribute to the continuous improvement of surveillance procedures, tuning logic, and workflows to enhance detection coverage and operational efficiency.

Experience limited to in-house or proprietary bank tools, trading platforms, or advisory systems alone does not meet this requirement. Strong understanding of market abuse typologies and order-book manipulation patterns, with experience investigating spoofing, layering, ramping, and related conduct. Ability to analyze trade, order, and market data to identify suspicious activity and form well-supported investigative conclusions. Excellent attention to detail, sound judgment, and the ability to work through alerts efficiently while maintaining investigative quality. Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document findings and escalate issues professionally. Ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and manage multiple investigations and priorities. What Would Be
