- Assess concentration, liquidity, event and gap risks across individual positions and broader portfolios.
- Challenge risk-taking where appropriate, providing independent insight into portfolio exposures and potential downside scenarios.
- Contribute to the ongoing development of risk infrastructure, methodologies and processes as the business evolves.
Candidate Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in risk management within a hedge fund, proprietary trading firm, investment bank or similar financial institution.
- Strong understanding of equity derivatives, options pricing and volatility trading strategies.
- Practical experience analysing single-stock options and volatility exposures, including Greeks, vega, skew and volatility surfaces.
- Strong knowledge of stress testing, scenario analysis and portfolio risk measurement.
- Ability to work directly with portfolio managers and traders in a fast-paced, front-office environment.
- Strong quantitative, analytical and problem-solving skills, with proficiency in risk systems and data analysis tools.
- Excellent communication skills and the confidence to engage with investment professionals on complex risk matters.
