Job Description:

A rapidly expanding hedge fund is looking to hire a Head of Risk.

The firm’s investment team has grown substantially in a short period and is planning further expansion, aiming for $2-3bn AUM in the next 12-24 months.

The Head of Risk will be responsible for establishing and developing the risk and control frameworks. You will serve as the primary risk contact for the business, engaging regularly with top portfolio managers. There is potential to build out a risk team as the firm continues to grow. While strong quantitative skills are desirable, the main focus will be on developing the risk controls framework rather than building a risk engine.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for a Risk Manager or current Head of Risk to join a dynamic firm with significant growth plans. You will work alongside industry-leading professionals within a close-knit organization.

The client is flexible on salary and offers a lucrative compensation package for the right candidate. With the firm's growth, the potential for compensation increases exponentially in the coming years.
