About the role

Due to significant business growth, IBKR is looking to hire a number of additional Trade Surveillance Analysts in any of its offices in Budapest, Dublin or London. These Analysts will review trading activity of the firm’s customers to identify potential breaches of market abuse rules or market-related financial crime. IBKR has established a proprietary surveillance capability, leveraging its historical proprietary trading background. The IBKR surveillance roles, therefore, offer interesting work and challenges, as well as opportunities for deep dive investigations versus the mass false positive alert processing roles offered in many financial institutions.

If you are motivated, have strong initiative, and are analytical and methodical, we can offer you a position that will both challenge and reward you while you become part of a team that is one of the world’s strongest brokerage brands.

• Liaising with global colleagues to ensure all impacted IBKR entities are informed of suspicious activity.
