About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Senior UAT Environment Manager to lead the coordination, governance, and effective use of a shared Market Risk testing environment supporting multiple trading desks and lines of business.

This role will oversee the testing pipeline for changes originating from Front Office technology, pricing models, market and trade data, and upstream applications. The successful candidate will combine strong Market Risk knowledge, technical understanding, analytical capability, and senior stakeholder management to ensure changes are evaluated through a controlled and efficient process.

The position requires ownership of testing coordination and the ability to help explain how and why upstream changes affect downstream risk calculations, particularly Value at Risk (VaR).

Key Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end Market Risk UAT pipeline, managing incoming requests, priorities, dependencies, testing schedules, and completion criteria.
• Coordinate access to shared test environments across trading desks, business units, Front Office technology, quants, and upstream application teams.
• Assess each request’s scope, business purpose, technical requirements, data dependencies, and urgency.
• Direct technical resources responsible for environment setup, configuration, data loading, test execution, and subsequent reconfiguration or teardown.
• Ensure appropriate test scenarios and Market Risk calculations are executed against agreed baselines.
• Coordinate analysis of VaR and other risk results, identifying material differences and supporting investigation of the underlying drivers.
• Partner with risk managers, quants, and engineering teams to determine whether changes arise from pricing models, positions, risk factors, market data, or application behavior.
• Ensure material impacts receive the required assessment, documentation, and governance review.
• Maintain clear reporting on environment availability, testing progress, outstanding issues, results, and expected completion dates.
• Resolve competing priorities, communicate constraints, escalate blockers, and drive accountability across participating teams.
• Improve testing throughput through better scheduling, automation, environment utilization, and process standardization.

Required Qualifications

• 8+ years minimum experience in Market Risk technology, UAT leadership, risk-platform testing, or test-environment management within financial services.
• Strong understanding of VaR and how pricing models, trading positions, market data, and upstream system changes affect downstream Market Risk calculations.
• Experience coordinating complex testing initiatives across multiple trading desks or lines of business.
• Working knowledge of risk-system data flows, upstream feeds, environment configuration, batch processing, and technical dependencies.
• Ability to compare risk results against baselines and support root-cause analysis of material differences.
• Strong planning, prioritization, dependency management, and delivery governance capabilities.
• Demonstrated ability to engage senior risk managers, traders, quants, business stakeholders, and technology teams.
• Excellent communication skills, with the confidence to challenge requests, manage expectations, and drive decisions.
• Ability to operate independently and bring structure to a complex, fast-paced environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting pricing-model changes, Market Risk transformation, or enterprise risk-platform modernization.
• Familiarity with model-change governance and risk-impact assessment processes.
• Experience using SQL, Python, or reporting tools to investigate testing results and support analysis.
• Experience improving shared-environment capacity, automating testing workflows, or introducing repeatable regression processes.
