Role Overview
Trading Controls & Integrity (TCI) protects the fairness and integrity of the firm’s trading environment. The team investigates unusual trading behaviour, incentive misuse, and potential exploitation of platform rules or commercial programs. TCI is an independent control function. It does not trade, manage risk, or design pricing. Its role is to analyse behaviour, investigate cases, and escalate issues when trading activity undermines commercial fairness or governance standards. We are seeking analytically curious individuals who enjoy analysing trading behaviour and identifying meaningful patterns across accounts, incentives, and trading activity
Job Responsibilties
Behavioural Analysis
- Analyse trading activity to identify patterns of abusive or exploitative behaviour
- Detect structural exploitation involving trading mechanics, incentives, or platform protections
- Monitor for coordinated activity across related accounts, IB structures, or trading groups
Investigations
- Conduct detailed investigations into suspicious trading activity, including:
- Trade reconstruction
- Behavioural pattern analysis
- Timeline and account relationship mapping
- Produce clear, evidence-based investigation reports suitable for internal governance and audit review
Incentive & Rebate Integrity
- Monitor incentive programs, IB rebates, and promotions to detect abuse or manipulation
- Identify economic leakage arising from misaligned incentive structures
Trading Disputes & Integrity Reviews
- Analyse trading disputes related to execution fairness, incentives, or commercial treatment
