Compliance Officer

IMC Trading
🇩🇰AarhusSeniorFull-timePosted October 7, 2026

About the Role

IMC is looking for an experienced Compliance Officer to join the Aarhus compliance function as its second member. The Aarhus office is IMC's newest European location and the base for its power and gas trading, operating as a branch of IMC Trading B.V. under the MiFID II framework as well as wholesale energy market rules.

The role is hands-on and involves:

  • Assisting with market abuse surveillance for the energy desk, reviewing alerts, gathering facts and supporting investigations.
  • Monitoring the branch's regulatory reporting (MiFIR, REMIT, EMIR and position reporting) and following up on breaks with Technology and Middle Office.
  • Advising the desk on new products, venues and trading strategies and supporting algorithmic trading governance.
  • Maintaining the branch compliance framework: policies, procedures, Danish AML obligations, personal account dealing, training and attestations.
  • Supporting regulator, exchange and audit interaction, including venue enquiries and AFM and Danish FSA requests.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with market abuse surveillance for the energy desk: review alerts, gather the facts from the desk and the data, and support investigations and any resulting reports
  • Monitor the branch's regulatory reporting (MiFIR, REMIT, EMIR and position reporting), follow up on breaks with Technology and Middle Office and make sure corrections are reported on time
  • Advise the desk on new products, venues and trading strategies as part of the new business process, and support algorithmic trading governance under IMC's Algorithmic Trading Policy and RTS 6
  • Maintain the branch compliance framework: policies and procedures, Danish AML obligations, personal account dealing, training and attestations
  • Support regulator, exchange and audit interaction: venue enquiries, AFM and Danish FSA requests, Internal Audit follow-ups and material for the Local Risk Committee
  • Keep our compliance records and tracking in good order so that every decision can be evidenced

Requirements

  • At least 5 years of compliance experience at a trading firm, energy trading company, exchange, regulator or consultancy
  • Working knowledge of MiFID II / MiFIR and MAR
  • Experience with REMIT and wholesale energy markets is a strong plus
  • Experience with algorithmic trading controls under RTS 6, for example self assessments, change management or conformance testing, is a strong plus
  • Exposure to trade surveillance or transaction reporting, and an understanding of what good evidence looks like
  • Comfortable working with data: you can read a trade file or a report and spot what does not add up
  • Independent judgement: you can push back on a trading desk with a clear rationale and explain your decisions to management and, when needed, to a regulator
  • Clear, concise communication in English (our working language)
  • Danish or Dutch is a plus
  • Based in Aarhus or willing to relocate

What You'll Get

  • Real ownership in a growing office: a small compliance function close to the desk and to management, not a seat in a large back office
  • Direct exposure to energy markets, algorithmic trading and a European compliance team across four locations
  • Competitive compensation and IMC's benefits package
