Ensuring appropriate governance around blocking and approvals. Possibly working with tech/risk/legal on system restrictions and policy enforcement.

Control Design Review:

Reviewing effectiveness of controls that don't lead to many escalations-identifying if they're too lenient or genuinely low-risk.

MARA (Market Abuse Risk Assessment) Embedding:

Aligning surveillance controls with the bank's Risk Appetite Statement. Ensuring MARA is properly integrated into ongoing compliance frameworks/processes.

Inter-Entity Surveillance SLAs:

Governance around surveillance services provided to subsidiaries or affiliate entities. Formalising and reviewing Service Level Agreements.

Linking with Financial Crime Compliance (FCC):

Ensuring trade surveillance and financial crime processes are aligned. Specifically, understanding and preparing for Jan 2025 FCA guidance updates - which may relate to hybrid communications, market abuse, or ESG-related financial crime.

Required Skills/Experience:

The ideal candidate will have the following:

• Surveillance SME with strategic thinking. • Experience in Tier 1 bank or large investment firm. • Can bridge the gap between policy, control design, governance, and technical surveillance. • Likely someone at Senior, or VP level in Compliance.
