What is market surveillance?

Market surveillance refers to the process of monitoring and analyzing trading activities in financial markets to detect and prevent unfair practices such as market manipulation, insider trading, and other forms of misconduct. It helps ensure that markets operate in a fair, transparent, and orderly manner, protecting investors and maintaining market integrity. Market surveillance is typically carried out by regulatory bodies, exchanges, and specialized teams within financial institutions using sophisticated technologies and analytical tools.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a market surveillance analyst?

To thrive as a Market Surveillance Analyst, you need a strong background in finance, analytics, and regulatory compliance, often supported by a degree in finance, economics, or a related field. Familiarity with surveillance platforms, data analysis tools (such as SQL or Python), and knowledge of market regulations (e.g., FINRA, SEC) are typically required. Analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication help analysts detect unusual trading activity and collaborate across teams. These skills are essential for ensuring market integrity, preventing manipulation, and maintaining compliance with regulatory standards.

How does a market surveillance professional typically collaborate with other departments within a financial organization?

Market Surveillance professionals frequently collaborate with compliance, legal, trading, and risk management teams to investigate unusual market activities and ensure adherence to regulations. Regular communication is essential, as surveillance analysts may need to escalate suspicious findings, clarify policy interpretations, or coordinate on regulatory reporting. This cross-functional teamwork helps ensure that any potential market abuse or manipulation is identified and addressed promptly, fostering a culture of transparency and ethical conduct across the organization.

What is the difference between Market Surveillance vs Compliance Analyst?

Market Surveillance focuses on monitoring trading activities to detect irregularities and prevent market abuse, often working within exchanges or regulatory bodies. Compliance Analysts ensure firms adhere to legal standards and internal policies, working within financial institutions. While both roles require securities licenses and involve regulatory knowledge, Market Surveillance is more about monitoring market activity, whereas Compliance Analysts focus on regulatory adherence within organizations.

Job Purpose

The New York Stock Exchange (an Intercontinental Exchange company) is seeking a Surveillance Analyst to join the Surveillance and Investigations team within NYSE Regulation.  The primary responsibility of this position will be to support the integrity of the NYSE markets and protect investors by identifying, analyzing and investigating potential violations of those exchanges' rules and the federal securities laws. The Surveillance Analyst will have the responsibility for reviewing and investigating potential violations of the NYSE exchanges' rules and federal securities laws that are identified by NYSE Regulation's surveillance systems. The Surveillance Analyst will conduct equities- and options-related reviews to ensure that exchange trading systems function properly.

Responsibilities

  • Conduct regular surveillance reviews to ensure that the NYSE exchanges' trading systems are designed and operating in a manner that is consistent with applicable statutes and rules.
  • Investigate surveillance alerts that identify potential violations of statutes and rules, communicate with exchange employees to learn relevant facts, and ensure that any identified issues are appropriately addressed or escalated.
  • Assess the impact of new regulatory requirements on applicable NYSE equities and options exchanges, and work with Regulatory Technology and Quality Assurance teams to ensure that those requirements are addressed by NYSE Regulation's surveillance system.
  • Review exchange system change specifications to identify any impact they may have on NYSE Regulation's surveillance program. Recommend new surveillances and enhancements to existing surveillances to ensure that systems are designed and operating in a manner that is consistent with applicable statutes and rules.
  • Create business requirement documents describing the logic of surveillances that will be implemented to monitor NYSE exchanges' compliance with applicable statutes and rules.
  • Review functional requirement specifications provided by Regulatory Technology to ensure that they align with business requirement documents.
  • Stay current on internal and external regulatory developments and work with team members to assess their potential impact on NYSE equities and options exchanges.

Knowledge and Experience

  • Bachelor's degree with strong academic record
  • One or more years of work experience preferred
  • Knowledge of US equities and options market structure, regulation, and related trading technology
  • Understanding of securities regulations and requirements such as Regulation NMS, the Options Linkage Plan, Regulation SCI and Regulation SHO
  • Strong analytical and quantitative abilities
  • Ability to research and analyze complex information and trading data to identify potential violations of exchange rules and the federal securities laws and recommend thoughtful responses to findings
  • Proficient in writing and executing SQL queries against large data sets
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Ability to present surveillance and investigative findings clearly and concisely to management and other regulatory stakeholders
  • Ability to work on and prioritize multiple tasks with tight deadlines
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment with minimal supervision

While we provide this range as general guidance, at ICE we compensate employees based on the skillset and experience of the individual.
