The global Compliance team within Bloomberg’s Legal Department provides coverage of Bloomberg's regulated entities and products including support for Bloomberg's non-regulated products and services. We work to address regulatory issues, ensure compliance with current/developing rules and regulations, and correspond with regulators. We are looking for an experienced person to join the EMEA Compliance team in London, covering trade surveillance of Bloomberg’s EMEA Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs).

What’s the Role?

Within the EMEA Compliance function, you will work as part of the Compliance team in London focused on the trade surveillance programme for Bloomberg’s European trading venues, i.e. Multilateral Trading Facilities (MTFs).

The ideal candidate for this role will have experience with regard to financial markets and products, be familiar with FCA and European rules (in particular UK and EU Market Abuse requirements), and be able to undertake market supervision activity, in particular trade surveillance across asset classes such as Fixed Income, IRS, CDS, FX and ETFs.
 
We are looking for a forward thinking, proactive individual with an interest in technology, coupled with good communication and interpersonal skills, who can work as part of a team with a real drive to add value to the firm.

• Surveillance alert review and ownership.
• Adhere to “STOR” reporting procedures, including escalating potentially suspicious activity.
• Assist with developing the EMEA trade surveillance programme to identify and mitigate any emerging risks (e.g. in response to market conditions or new products).
• Analyse the impact of regulatory change, especially in terms of trade surveillance requirements (including updates to policies and procedures).
• Stay ahead of jurisdictional changes and challenges, working closely with Legal.
• Work with Engineering to enhance the trade surveillance system where necessary, conducting testing to ensure requirements have been met.
• Conduct continuing education for Sales and Product.
• Prepare statistics and reports to provide management information, as well as further develop such reporting.

You'll need to have:

• Minimum of 2 years* experience in a trade surveillance role.
• Relevant experience in terms of trade surveillance programs, systems, and arrangements.
• In-depth knowledge of MiFIDII / MiFIR/ MAR, and the regulatory operations of trading venues.
• Strong data analysis skills in order to facilitate calibration reviews, MI production and ad hoc data requests.
• Involvement in system enhancement testing.
• Good understanding of one or more of the following asset classes: Fixed Income, IRS, CDS, FX and ETFs.
• Strong familiarity with the financial markets, electronic trading, and UK and EU applicable regulations.
• Experience dealing with responding to regulatory enquiries.
• An analytical mind, the ability to solve complex problems and streamline processes.
• A desire to be part of a team in a dynamic and fast-paced organisation.

*Please note we use years of experience as a guide but we certainly will consider applications from all candidates who are able to demonstrate the skills necessary for the role.

We’d love to see:

• A real passion for being part of a global in-house team and contributing to team knowledge.
• Track record of operating successfully.
• Proactive and positive attitude, and the ability to collaborate with a wide network of stakeholders.
