Description

The Company

We're partnering with a global consulting firm to support a leading private bank in Singapore on a key hire within their surveillance team.

This role sits at the intersection of compliance, markets, and risk, with a strong focus on conduct surveillance rather than financial crime. You'll be reviewing and investigating alerts tied to trading behaviour, client suitability, and market conduct, helping ensure the bank operates in line with both regulatory expectations and internal standards.

It's a great opportunity for someone who enjoys investigative work, has a sharp eye for detail, and wants to be closer to front office activity without being in a revenue-generating role.

This is a 12 months contract.

The Role

• Review and investigate alerts related to conduct risks, including unusual trading activity, market abuse, and client suitability concerns
• Analyse trading patterns and behaviours to identify potential breaches of market conduct regulations
• Gather and assess evidence from internal systems and relevant sources to support investigations
• Clearly document findings, including rationale for closing or escalating alerts
• Assess cases against MAS regulations and internal policies, escalating where necessary
• Partner closely with Compliance, Risk, and Markets Surveillance teams to ensure consistent coverage
• Stay up to date with regulatory developments, particularly MAS guidelines and market conduct expectations
• Contribute to ongoing improvements in surveillance processes, including system calibration and reporting enhancements
• Participate in calibration sessions to ensure consistency and quality of investigations across the team

Your Profile

• 3 to 5 years of experience in conduct surveillance, transaction monitoring, compliance, or a related control function within financial services
• Prior exposure to private banking, markets, or trading environments is highly preferred
• Solid understanding of market conduct regulations, particularly MAS guidelines, the Securities and Futures Act, and fair dealing practices
• Strong analytical and investigative skills, with the ability to connect patterns and draw sound conclusions
• Clear and concise report writing skills, with good attention to detail
• Confident communicator, comfortable engaging with stakeholders across Compliance, Risk, and Front Office
• Experience using surveillance or transaction monitoring systems
• High level of integrity and discretion when handling sensitive information
