Intelligence Analyst

About the Point72 Intelligence team:

The Intelligence team strives to set the industry standard for holistic surveillance by proactively identifying, monitoring, and assessing various sources of compliance risk using proprietary tools and specialized tradecraft. We support senior management by providing strategic assessments, actionable recommendations, and real-time issue escalations. At Point72, Intelligence analysts are focused internally and answer human-centered questions by combining substantive research methods with data analysis and subject-matter expertise. We convey complex, evidence-based insights orally and in writing, often while working with incomplete information, to help contextualize information for our internal consumers. Intelligence also monitors employee activity for evidence of violations of applicable federal securities laws, internal compliance policies and procedures, and relevant rules and regulations enforced by the SEC, FINRA, and other organizations.

What makes our team special?

We have a diverse team of analysts who each bring unique experience and perspective to the table. We use our differences to our collective benefit and constantly learn from each other. We appreciate that no two analysts have the same professional skills and interests, and we pride ourselves on providing ample opportunity for training and career development. We support and encourage each other as we push ourselves to learn new things.

As an Intelligence Analyst at Point72, you will:

• produce risk assessments and conduct investigations;
• monitor employee communications for potential violations of relevant securities laws, rules, regulations, and Firm policies, and escalate potential issues;
• conduct routine trade surveillance, which includes analyzing employee trading activity;
• leverage resources, technology, and information to protect the Firm’s reputation and minimize risk.

You will also have opportunities to work on other projects, such as:

• brief Firm CCO and CSO on key findings from risk assessments;
• respond to information requests from financial regulators and other external parties;
• ad hoc taskings from members of the senior management team;
• participate in/lead trainings and other professional development efforts.

To succeed as an Intelligence analyst at Point72, you must also prioritize our values:
