Requirements
  • Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business, Economics, Law, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 3 years’ experience in a compliance, surveillance, or related control function within financial services.

  • Solid understanding of regulatory frameworks including the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, Securities Act of 1933, FSMA 2000, MiFID II, and MAR.
  • Familiarity with regulatory and self‑regulatory agencies: Central Bank of Ireland, FCA, SEC, CFTC, MAS.
  • Exceptional written communication and analytical skills – the ability to produce concise, well‑structured surveillance memos is critical.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
  • Ability to manage competing priorities with composure in a fast‑paced, high‑pressure environment.
