A Career with Point72's Surveillance Team

Point72’s Surveillance team sets the industry standard for intelligence driven surveillance by proactively identifying, monitoring, and assessing various sources of compliance risk using proprietary tools and specialized tradecraft. We support senior management by providing strategic assessments, actionable recommendations, and real-time escalations. At Point72, members of the Surveillance team conduct integrated trade and communication surveillance and collaborate to turn information into intelligence for our internal customers. The team also monitors employee activity for evidence of violations of applicable federal securities laws, internal compliance policies and procedures, and relevant rules and regulations enforced by the SEC, FINRA, and other organizations.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Conduct routine trade surveillance and investigations.
• Conduct routine communication surveillance for potential violations of relevant securities laws, rules, regulations, and Firm policies, and escalate suspicious or non-compliant events.
• Craft intelligence questions, and appropriately scope research to produce sophisticated and well-written analysis that provides insight and risk analysis, not simply information.

• Work with managers to respond to information requests from financial regulators and ad-hoc taskings from members of the senior management team.
• Serve as a subject matter expert in your assigned coverage and stay abreast of relevant regulations, industry best practices, and internal policies.
• Leverage resources, technology, and information to minimize risk and protect the firm.
