Job description

Overview

• Work with the best: Join a team led by exceptional talent - including a hiring manager who is genuinely committed to developing junior talent. A brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and progress.

• Excellent culture: Collaborative, stable, and forward-thinking - the team is known for its supportive and positive working environment.

What you'll be doing

• Day-to-day risk management of a set of portfolios


• Direct support to Portfolio Managers
