You will be part of a 10-people team, reporting to the Head of Risk. You bring thorough knowledge of at least one of the major asset classes we trade (equity, fixed income, FX) and will be interacting closely with traders to gain a deep understanding of trading strategies and exposures. You will translate this understanding into improvements to our risk management frameworks, limits and policies. As the scope of our business activities is expanding, a key challenge will be to help establish aspects of financial risk management frameworks from the ground up, and help guide and train the team in this transition.

What you will do
  • Interact closely with trading desks to become intimately familiar with their exposures, trading strategies and market activity
  • Perform trading desk risk assessments to update identified risks, monitoring requirements, stress tests, and limits
  • Analyze trading desks' capital usage and return on capital, connecting it to entity-level risk capacity
  • Ensure the required tools and reports to facilitate risk analysis are in place
  • Create and update risk policies and procedures to ensure effective governance and operations
  • Be involved in regulatory processes and deliverables such as ICAAP and IFR/IFD
  • Train and guide other team members
  • Align policies, tools and analyses with colleagues in local offices worldwide

What you need to succeed
  • 6-10 years of relevant experience in financial risk management or trading
  • Relevant university degree, ideally complemented by an FRM/CFA qualification
  • Experienced user of Excel and SQL
  • Knowledge of Python is an advantage
  • Strong knowledge of at least one of the major asset classes we trade (equity, fixed income, FX)
  • Effective communicator, able to effectively work with stakeholders
  • A proactive and flexible personality
  • Fluency in English, written and spoken
