The Opportunity

Our Market Compliance and Energy Contracts team is seeking a detail‑oriented and initiative-taking Trade Compliance Analyst – to support market compliance, regulatory oversight, and trade surveillance activities across physical and financial energy trading. This role is critical in ensuring that trading activity aligns with applicable regulatory requirements, internal compliance standards, and market conduct expectations in a highly regulated commodity trading environment.

Reporting to the Manager, Trade Compliance, this role also supports a broad range of compliance risk and regulatory monitoring activities, including oversight of position limits, trade surveillance, margining, KYC and regulatory reporting obligations.
