Nasdaq’s U.S. equities and options markets are among the most liquid, technologically advanced, and systemically important markets in the world. The U.S. Market Surveillance organization plays a critical role in maintaining the integrity of these markets and supporting Nasdaq’s standing as a trusted and innovative exchange operator.

The U.S. surveillance function is responsible for real‑time and post‑trade monitoring across Nasdaq’s U.S. exchanges, detection of market abuse, oversight of issuer‑related events that may impact trading, and management of trading‑floor surveillance for Nasdaq PHLX. The team ensures compliance with SEC, FINRA, and SRO rules; identifies and escalates unusual market activity; and partners closely with regulatory, legal, and technology teams to safeguard transparent, orderly, and efficient markets.

The overarching goal of the U.S. Market Surveillance function is to uphold investor protection, promote market integrity, and ensure that the U.S. markets operated by Nasdaq remain fair, orderly, safe, efficient, and globally competitive.

Expectations of the Role:

In this executive leadership role, you will be responsible for Nasdaq’s consolidated surveillance program for its U.S. equities and options exchanges. The mission is to safeguard the integrity of the U.S. markets — a core regulatory obligation and a foundational component of Nasdaq’s reputation, business model, and license to operate.

This function operates as an independent regulatory unit within Nasdaq. Therefore, its most important activities and decision‑making processes are structured to ensure independence, impartiality, and the highest standards of integrity.
