VP, Market Surveillance

Vp Of Market Surveillance

We're hiring a VP of Market Surveillance to run hands-on surveillance across a CFTC-regulated designated contract market (DCM) and to help define how we do that work at scale. You'll monitor trading activity, investigate suspicious behavior, and build cases. You'll also bring deep exchange-side and regulatory expertise into the room, shaping detection logic, surveillance strategy, and the product itself. This role covers both real-time trade monitoring and post-trade surveillance across regulated sports event contract prediction markets.
This is a builder's role. You know how surveillance is supposed to work at a real exchange, and you have ideas about how to do it better. This is a VP-level position with room to grow into the function as it scales.
What you'll do:
Run real-time monitoring and post-trade surveillance across regulated sports event contracts to identify market abuse, including wash trading, spoofing, manipulative order behavior, and insider trading patterns
Own investigations end to end. Build the case, document findings, and escalate to Compliance, Legal, and regulators when appropriate
Translate surveillance practice into product. Work with engineering and data science to define detection logic, tune alerts, cut false positives, and sharpen the tooling
Build and refine the surveillance framework: alert thresholds, review procedures, escalation paths, and controls mapped to CFTC DCM Core Principles
Partner across Legal, Risk, Compliance, and Engineering to strengthen systems and workflows
Help define team standards and structure as surveillance scales
