About this opportunity

The Manager, Surveillance Oversight supports the delivery of independent second line oversight of the firm’s Surveillance framework, helping to ensure effective management of Market Abuse risks across products and markets.

Sitting within 2LoD Conduct & Compliance, the role works closely with Senior Manager and Global Head colleagues to deliver day‑to‑day Surveillance Oversight activity.

What you’ll be doing:

• Review Surveillance performance information, including management information, alert trends, quality outcomes and follow‑up actions, raising observations and concerns through appropriate Compliance channels.

• Support governance activity by chipping in to Surveillance‑related forums and working groups, providing oversight input and clear documentation of observations and outcomes.

• Act as a 2LoD point of contact for Surveillance‑related matters, supporting alert outcomes, near‑miss reviews and STOR processes through informed challenge and clear record‑keeping.

• Undertake Compliance monitoring, assurance or testing activity over Surveillance controls, supporting assessment of design and operating effectiveness and documenting findings clearly.

• Provide advisory support on the application of Compliance policies and standards relating to Market Abuse and Surveillance, including business or operating model change.

• Build effective working relationships across Surveillance, Compliance, Risk, Technology and Front Office teams to support coordinated and proportionate outcomes.

• Contribute to continuous improvement of Surveillance Oversight tools, approaches and documentation.
