ABOUT THIS ROLE

The Senior Compliance Analyst (Personal Trading & Licensing/Registrations) provides U.S.-business-hours coverage, regulatory knowledge, securities-market experience, employee interaction, and first-level compliance judgment for the Firm’s Personal Trading and Licensing & Registrations programs.

The role is responsible for managing and resolving employee-specific, time-sensitive, unusual, or higher-risk matters that require substantive compliance review, U.S. securities-market knowledge, regulatory research, policy application, or interaction with employees, managers, brokers, regulators, vendors, and internal stakeholders. The Senior Compliance Analyst reviews and resolves exceptions within delegated authority and escalates complex regulatory interpretations, material violations, significant disclosure matters, policy exceptions, and other higher-risk matters to the Compliance Manager, Chief Compliance Officer, Legal, or other appropriate stakeholders.

The role also provides U.S.-based oversight, quality control, guidance, and escalation support for the established, process-driven Personal Trading and Licensing & Registrations workflows performed by the Manila team. The Manila team performs standardized processing, monitoring, reconciliation, tracking, documentation, and reporting activities in accordance with approved procedures; the U.S.-based Senior Compliance Analyst provides subject-matter support and makes the compliance determinations that require professional judgment.

The successful candidate will operate independently, exercise sound judgment, maintain audit-ready documentation, manage confidential information with discretion, and partner effectively with Compliance, Human Resources, Legal, Talent Acquisition, Operations, Technology, employees, managers, and business stakeholders.

Key Responsibilities:

Personal Trading and Employee Compliance

• •Provide timely U.S.-business-hours support to employees and managers regarding Personal Trading requirements, brokerage accounts, reportable securities, managed accounts, account disclosures, preclearance, holdings reporting, transaction reporting, certifications, and related obligations.
• •Review and respond to time-sensitive trade-preclearance requests so that employees may execute approved transactions while applicable markets are open.
• •Review securities transactions and apply Personal Trading requirements based on the underlying security, transaction type, trading activity, holding-period requirements, restricted-list or watch-list implications, preclearance requirements, and other applicable Firm policies and procedures.
• •Research securities, issuers, transaction types, and trading issues requiring knowledge of U.S. securities markets and Personal Trading requirements.
• •Review potential Personal Trading exceptions, policy violations, late disclosures, restricted-security issues, missing account information, and other higher-risk matters. Document findings, determine appropriate next steps within delegated authority, and escalate material, complex, or unresolved matters to the Compliance Manager or other appropriate stakeholders.
• •Respond to employee and manager questions requiring policy application, interpretation, substantive analysis, exception review, or U.S.-hours issue resolution.
• •Assist with employee disclosure matters, including Outside Business Activities (“OBAs”) and private investments, when employee interaction, research, first-level analysis, or escalation is required.
• •Communicate with brokers, broker-dealers, custodians, employees, managers, MyComplianceOffice (“MCO”), and other internal or external parties to resolve Personal Trading issues requiring U.S.-hours contact or substantive review.
• •Troubleshoot account feeds, brokerage connections, transaction information, reporting issues, and other Personal Trading matters that cannot be resolved through routine Manila processing.
• •Review case files, exception reports, research, and supporting information prepared by the Manila team; provide direction, determine disposition, and ensure appropriate documentation and escalation.
• •Provide guidance, quality control, and escalation support to the Manila team for Personal Trading workflows, including MCO queues, account monitoring, transaction-feed reconciliation, certifications, documentation, tracking, and reporting.

Licensing, Registrations, and Examinations

• •Serve as the U.S.-hours point of contact for employees and managers regarding licensing, registration, qualification examinations, fingerprinting, continuing education, and licensing-related training requirements.
• •Manage employee licensing and registration matters requiring substantive review, U.S.-hours employee interaction, regulatory or vendor contact, research, issue resolution, or escalation.
• •Discuss licensing and registration requirements associated with employee roles, new hires, internal transfers, role changes, changes in responsibilities, and employee separations.
• •Perform first-level substantive review of licensing requests, registration matters, Forms U4 and U5, disclosures, examination issues, and other employee-specific matters. Identify matters requiring review or determination by the Compliance Manager, Chief Compliance Officer, Legal, or other stakeholders.
• •Process, review, and maintain FINRA WebCRD filings, including Forms U4 and U5, amendments, registration transfers, disclosures, terminations, and other registration updates, as assigned and in accordance with established approvals and procedures.
• •Coordinate with FINRA, NFA, state regulators, testing vendors, fingerprinting vendors, Human Resources, Talent Acquisition, and other internal or external partners when matters cannot be resolved through established workflows.
• •Research licensing and registration questions and apply Firm procedures and established regulatory guidance to routine employee-specific situations. Escalate regulatory interpretation questions, policy exceptions, material disclosures, significant registration issues, and other higher-risk matters as appropriate.
• •Review and resolve matters involving incomplete registration submissions, missed deadlines, examination failures, retake periods, registration gaps, potential lapses, late filings, or other licensing deficiencies.
• •Provide U.S.-hours oversight and escalation support for licensing and registration w
