Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to clearly articulate risk concerns to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders. Collaborative mindset: This is a key requirement. The ideal candidate will have a willingness to work closely with cross‑functional teams. Analytical Thinking: Strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret complex trading data quickly and accurately. Technical Skills: While advanced programming or quantitative modeling is not required, comfort with using trading and risk platforms, Excel, and basic data tools is expected.
