Job Description & Responsibilities
Interactive Brokers is looking for Trade Surveillance Analysts for its Budapest office, IBCE. These Analysts will review and analyze trading activity of the firm’s customers to identify potential breaches of market conduct rules or market related financial crime.

The IBCE surveillance role, therefore, offers interesting work and challenges, and opportunities for deep dive investigations versus the mass false positive alert processing roles offered in many financial institutions.

- Ensuring appropriate and timely alert management, following standards for closure or escalation

- Preparing STORs for submission to MNB
- Assisting with written responses to inquiries from the MNB, other European regulators or exchanges regarding trading activity by IBCE customers
- Liaising with global colleagues to ensure all impacted legal entities are informed of suspicious activity and working closely with the AML team

- Background in customer trading surveillance preferred
- Strong product knowledge of equity or exchange traded derivative markets’ or, preferably, both
- Solid academic background
- Solid knowledge of EU market conduct rules and market regulations
- High degree of comfort with computers and technology, and understanding of how technology is applied to business and regulatory problems;
- Ability to work in a small-team and fast-paced environment; and to work independently and to multi-task with minimal supervision
- Strong analytical thinking and attention to detail
