About the Role

The Company is seeking a VP for its equities market risk team. The successful candidate will be tasked with providing market risk oversight for the firm's equity trading business, including flow, exotics, and corporate derivative trading desks. This role involves direct collaboration with traders to assess and explain risk and limit usage, as well as partnering with them to align risk appetite strategy, hedge strategy, and size risk limits. The ideal candidate will have a minimum of 3 years' experience in market risk, with a preference for those who have worked in an equities trading business. However, experience in fixed income repo, non-linear rates, or non-linear FX will also be considered. The position offers the opportunity to work in a relatively lean team with exposure to senior management and significant influence on the front office and within market risk. Applicants for this VP role in the equities market risk team at the company should possess a strong background in market risk management, particularly in the context of equity or fixed income products. A minimum of 3 years' experience is required, with a focus on those who can demonstrate a strong knowledge of various equity derivative products or fixed income products. The role demands a working ability in Python and SQL, as well as strong communication skills and the ability to thrive in a front office environment. Responsibilities include working with traders to explain risk metrics, setting up risk limits, and optimizing risk usage and appetite. The successful candidate will be a key partner to the trading team, with a significant role in the decision-making process and the opportunity to make a real impact on the firm's market risk strategy.
