We are building a team of senior Business Analysts to support a Markets Conduct programme within a Tier 1 investment bank. This is not a traditional change delivery role. You will assess and remediate misconduct risks that sit outside standard trade surveillance tooling and automated monitoring scenarios.

You will work closely with Markets, Compliance, Surveillance and Risk. You will use strong judgement, professional scepticism, and the confidence to challenge senior stakeholders constructively.

What you will be doing

• Assess gaps in trade surveillance coverage across asset classes
• Identify misconduct risks not captured by existing scenarios, including manual bookings, structured trades, supervisory gaps, cross-desk risks, off-channel activity, and other non-standard behaviours
• Review end-to-end governance, escalation and oversight processes
• Engage directly with Desk Heads, Compliance, Surveillance and Risk to validate findings and agree outcomes
• Translate findings into structured remediation plans and control enhancements
• Support regulatory responses and Internal Audit requests where required
• Produce clear documentation that stands up to senior scrutiny and audit standards

What we are looking for

• 6 to 15+ years’ experience in trade surveillance, markets compliance, or market conduct risk
• Strong understanding of market abuse typologies, including spoofing, layering, insider dealing, and benchmark manipulation
• Experience in a Tier 1 investment bank or a regulator
• Strong knowledge of relevant regulatory frameworks, including MAR and UK and US conduct expectations (FCA and SEC/CFTC)
• Proven experience identifying control gaps beyond automated surveillance systems
• Confidence operating at VP to SVP level with Director and Managing Director stakeholders
• Strong writing skills, you can turn complex conduct risk into clear, structured outputs

Nice to have

• Experience designing or enhancing surveillance governance, escalation routes, and supervisory controls
• Experience with structured products and complex trading behaviours across desks
• Experience supporting regulatory reviews, audits, or remediation programmes in Markets

Why this role?

• High visibility with Markets and Compliance leadership
• Direct exposure to senior front office stakeholders
• Regulatory-driven programme with strategic importance
• Opportunity to improve surveillance effectiveness beyond system tuning
• Complex work focused on real trading behaviours and control design

How to apply

Apply with your CV and include:
• Your location and working pattern flexibility
• Your level (VP or SVP), and years of relevant experience
• A brief example of a control gap you identified outside automated surveillance, and what you changed as a result
