About the Position
We are looking for a Compliance Specialist to join our Legal and Compliance team in London, with experience providing compliance advice on equity derivatives, including OTC and exotic options trading, as well as EU and UK listed options.
In this role, you’ll act as the dedicated compliance partner for our options desk and be their first point of contact for day-to-day compliance matters. You’ll also serve as our firm’s subject matter expert on the desk’s activities, the compliance risks associated with them, and the rules, regulations and policies that govern them.
Additional responsibilities of this role will include:
Drafting and maintaining the compliance policies, guidance and procedures that govern the desk’s activities
Supporting the desk with advice related to regulatory and policy interpretation as well as serving as an escalation point for compliance-related questions
Understanding and documenting desk workflows, decision-making and other notable events
Assessing desk activity and advising the desk on control requirements
Reviewing new flows and implementing compliance frameworks where necessary
Acting as a liaison between the desk and our centralised compliance functions (e.g., surveillance, employee compliance, regulatory reporting)
Conducting targeted risk assessments and periodic risk-based reviews of desk activity
This role sits within our Legal and Compliance team, a dedicated group of professionals who share a deep understanding of the law, a meticulous commitment to regulatory protocol and a passion for protecting our colleagues as they focus on their daily work.
About You
Have 8+ years of relevant compliance experience at a bank, proprietary trading firm, hedge fund or exchange, with a focus on options or listed derivatives
Have deep knowledge of options market structure, exchange rules and order handling requirements
Familiar with the UK and EU regulatory landscape (e.g., FCA rules, MAR, MiFID II) and comfortable thinking about how it applies to a global trading business
Able to distil complex regulatory topics into clear, practical guidance for traders and other colleagues
Highly organised; a self-starter who can manage projects independently and see them through to completion
Exercise good judgement and discretion; humble about what you don’t know and not afraid to ask questions or admit mistakes
Curious about the operations of the firm and how your role fits into the bigger picture
Fluent in English
