Commodity Futures Trading Commission
9 remote or telework-eligible positions · federal agency
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) is the independent agency that regulates the US derivatives markets: futures, options and swaps. Its divisions oversee exchanges and clearinghouses, register and supervise market participants, monitor trading for manipulation and bring enforcement cases, with offices in Washington, New York, Chicago and Kansas City.
Recent listings have included market analysts, a trial attorney, a records and information management specialist and a paralegal specialist.
Applying tip: the CFTC uses its own pay system rather than the General Schedule, with salaries set to be comparable to other federal financial regulators, so compare the salary line in the announcement rather than looking for a GS grade. Trial attorney positions expect active bar membership and litigation experience, and market analyst positions look for trading, risk or market surveillance experience.
