About the role

SteelEye, now merged with FundApps, provides trade surveillance to some of the world’s largest financial institutions. You’ll own this product area and help shape where we take it next.

Trade surveillance is a complex area of compliance. Firms need to identify possible market abuse across huge volumes of trading data without creating more noise than signal.

You’ll work directly with compliance and surveillance teams to understand their problems and turn them into clear product priorities. You’ll work closely with Engineering, Data Science, Regs and Customer Success to improve detection coverage, reduce false positives and make surveillance workflows better.

You’ll need to understand the domain and how our product works, but you won’t be expected to be the regulatory expert in the room. You’ll work with specialists in our Regs team when deeper surveillance or regulatory knowledge is needed.

What you'll do

• Own the trade surveillance product area and set the direction, priorities and roadmap for how it develops.

• Work directly with compliance and surveillance teams at large financial institutions to understand their problems, challenge assumptions and turn those needs into product decisions.

• Partner with Engineering and Data Science to improve detection capabilities, reduce false positives and solve problems with complex trading data.

• Work closely with Regs and Customer Success so product decisions are informed by regulatory expertise, client needs and how the service is used in practice.

• Use data, customer feedback and product performance to decide where we focus, while balancing the needs of individual clients with what makes sense for the wider product.

• Help shape how trade surveillance fits into the wider FundApps product offering as SteelEye and FundApps come together, including where products should connect, overlap or evolve over time.

What we're looking for

• Strong product leadership. You’ve owned a complex B2B software product or product area and have been accountable for its direction, priorities and outcomes.

• Strong product judgement. You can make decisions when there are competing customer, commercial and technical needs. You get to the underlying problem and are comfortable saying no when something isn’t right for the product.

• Experience in Financial services or RegTech. Direct trade surveillance experience would be a plus.

• Credibility with senior clients and stakeholders. You’re comfortable working with large financial institutions, navigating different perspectives and explaining or defending product decisions.

• Technical confidence. You can work closely with Engineering and Data Science on complex products involving data and algorithms. You don’t need to write code, but you need to understand enough to ask the right questions and make informed decisions.

• Ability to build domain depth. You can get to grips with complex subject matter quickly. You’ll need to develop a strong understanding of trade surveillance, market abuse and our detection models, working closely with specialists across the business.
