Overview

As a Compliance Officer based in the Susquehanna Shanghai office, you will act as a key day-to-day compliance contact for our China trading operations.

Working closely with Traders, Technology, and Operations locally and across APAC, you will provide timely, practical compliance advice while overseeing core monitoring and control processes. In a lean onshore team, this role requires strong judgement, clear written and verbal communication in English and Mandarin, and the ability to operate independently while balancing hands-on execution with real-time decision making. The role has a strong focus on day-to-day execution across trade reviews, documentation, and regulatory processes in a fast-paced trading environment.

You will have compliance responsibilities across trading activity, regulatory requirements, and control processes, while partnering closely with the Head of China Compliance and broader APAC team on more complex or cross-border matters. This role offers direct exposure to multi-asset trading (equities, fixed income, futures/ETFs, commodities/options) in a market-making environment.

Prepare regulatory filings, reports, and written responses to internal and external stakeholders where required
Partner with Technology and Operations to implement and enhance compliance controls and monitoring frameworks
Maintain compliance policies, procedures, and documentation in line with regulatory requirements
Contribute to training, communications, and cross-border initiatives with APAC compliance teams

What we're looking for

5-8 years of experience in compliance within a trading, financial services, or regulatory environment, ideally with exposure to China markets
Working knowledge of Chinese regulatory frameworks across equities and derivatives trading (QFI/QFII familiarity preferred)
Experience in control frameworks and/or regulatory reporting within a trading environment
Demonstrated ability to exercise sound judgement, and take ownership of day-to-day compliance matters
Strong written and verbal communication skills in both English and Mandarin, with the ability to clearly articulate complex regulatory concepts to regional stakeholders
Ability to interpret regulatory requirements and translate them into practical, business-relevant guidance
Strong stakeholder management skills, with confidence interacting directly with front-office teams
High attention to detail, with the ability to prioritise effectively in a fast-paced environment

What's in it for you

A flat structure that enables ownership, autonomy, and direct impact from day one
The opportunity to operate in a team with real accountability and visibility
Exposure to multi-asset trading and close partnership with front-office stakeholders
Regional and global exposure through collaboration with APAC and international compliance teams
A high-performance, intellectually driven environment with strong learning and development opportunities
