Job Description

Who you are

You have a strong background in compliance, particularly within macro markets and digital assets — your experience allows you to navigate complex regulatory environments and provide actionable guidance to trading teams. You understand the importance of aligning compliance with business objectives, ensuring that innovation is both responsible and sustainable.

With a focus on collaboration, you thrive in environments where you can work closely with diverse teams across geographical locations — your communication skills enable you to effectively convey compliance requirements and foster a culture of integrity within the organization. You are detail-oriented and proactive in identifying potential compliance risks, ensuring that all trading activities adhere to regulatory standards.

You will provide guidance on macro trading activities, working closely with front-office teams to address conduct, market integrity, and regulatory risk. Your expertise will be crucial in advising on new products, venues, tools, trading strategies, and counterparties, delivering pragmatic and commercially aware compliance advice.

You will support the digital assets compliance program and ensure that market conduct and financial crime frameworks are aligned with the macro compliance program. This includes covering AML and CTF considerations, conducting transaction monitoring, and performing risk assessments related to counterparties and jurisdictions. You will also conduct or support investigations involving digital asset and macro trading activities, ensuring that compliance standards are upheld across the organization.
