Job description
Senior Associate, Trade Surveillance (Market Abuse)
This is a leading global multi-strategy hedge fund, with offices across the US, Europe and Asia. It trades fundamental equities, systematic strategies, global macro and private credit. Surveillance has just been set up as its own function, separate from Compliance, and this is a newly created role within it. The job is genuinely investigative rather than alert-clearing. You would work alongside a high-calibre team from intelligence and investigative backgrounds, see trading activity across every major asset class, and have real ownership of your cases.
The Role
Lead end-to-end market abuse investigations: manipulation, insider dealing, spoofing and layering
Run trade and e-comms surveillance across equities, fixed income and macro
Carry out forensic investigations and write clear, concise reports on findings
Contribute to risk assessments and alert calibration
Work independently in a confidential team with no front-office contact
Essential Skills
5–7+ years’ experience, including 3–5 years in trade surveillance focused on market abuse
Hands-on investigation experience, not just alert review
E-comms surveillance alongside trade surveillance
Strong written analysis and a qualitative, investigative mindset
High discretion and comfort working independently
