About

Interactive Brokers (“IBKR”) provides institutional and retail investors with access to over 160 global trading venues and liquidity providers in a wide range of asset classes, including equities, bonds, options, futures, warrants, CFDs, foreign exchange, forecast and event contracts and crypto assets.

Due to significant business growth, IBKR is looking to hire several additional Trade Surveillance Analysts in any of its offices in Budapest, Dublin or London. These Analysts will review trading activity of the firm’s customers to identify potential breaches of market abuse rules or market-related financial crime. IBKR has established a proprietary surveillance capability, leveraging its historical proprietary trading background. The IBKR surveillance roles, therefore, offer interesting work and challenges, as well as opportunities for deep dive investigations versus the mass false positive alert processing roles offered in many financial institutions.

Responsibilities:

Conducting trade surveillance monitoring of client activity on EEA markets, for potential insider dealing or market manipulation
Ensuring appropriate and timely alert management, following standards for closure or escalation
Documenting surveillance reviews, investigations, and other activities following guidelines
Assisting with the ongoing design, development and calibration of alert reports and systems to help identify potential suspicious behaviour
Preparing STORs for submission to FCA or CBI
Assisting with written responses to inquiries from the FCA, CBI, other European regulators or trading venues regarding IBKR client activity
Liaising with global colleagues to ensure all impacted IBKR entities are informed of suspicious activity

Qualifications:

Background in Trade Surveillance or Compliance preferred
Strong product knowledge of equity or exchange-traded derivative markets, or, preferably, both
Solid academic background
Solid knowledge of the different types of market abuse
Solid knowledge of EU market conduct rules and regulations is desirable, as is experience with MAR/ MiFID/ MiFIR regulations.
Good understanding of how technology is applied to business and regulatory problems
Good oral and written communication skills
Ability to work in a small team and fast-paced environment, and to work independently and to multitask with minimal supervision
Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
Strong judgment and decision-making skills

If you are motivated, have strong initiative, and are analytical and methodical, we can offer you a position that will both challenge and reward you while you become part of a team that is one of the world’s strongest brokerage brands.
