What you'll do:
As Assistant Vice President, Trade Surveillance at MUFG in London, you will be entrusted with critical responsibilities that underpin the bank’s compliance framework. Your day-to-day activities will involve reviewing complex trading activity alerts referred by offshore teams or escalated from the Front Office. You will leverage sophisticated market data sources and surveillance technologies to analyse transactions across equities, fixed income instruments, FX markets, repos, derivatives—including futures, swaps, options—and structured products. By collaborating with colleagues across departments, you will ensure rigorous quality control standards are met while helping train others on evolving market abuse typologies. Your analytical skills will be instrumental in identifying suspicious behaviours or emerging risks that may require regulatory reporting or further investigation. Additionally, you will contribute to optimising surveillance processes through calibration reviews, procedure updates, automation initiatives, and system enhancements. Building strong inter-personal connections with stakeholders throughout MUFG will enable you to gather evidence efficiently for investigations while supporting broader compliance objectives. Success in this role requires meticulous attention to detail, responsiveness under pressure, excellent communication abilities, and a genuine commitment to upholding ethical standards.
Review and investigate all referrals made by the offshore Level 1 surveillance team as a Level 2 Surveillance Officer, ensuring thorough documentation and analysis of relevant information to determine if escalation is required.
