About the Role:

As a Market Risk Analyst, you'll work closely with Portfolio Managers and senior investment leaders to assess, monitor, and enhance risk oversight across Emerging Market strategies — spanning rates, FX, credit, and derivatives. Your insights will shape decision-making at the highest level, supporting both fund-wide and individual portfolio risk objectives.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Collaborate with PMs running Emerging Markets strategies to understand trade logic, portfolio positioning, and risk concentration.
• Deliver performance and risk analysis to the Chief Risk Officer and desk heads, providing timely insights into scenario drivers, VaR, and tail risks.
• Build and calibrate stress testing frameworks, with both historical and theoretical scenarios tailored to EM exposures.
• Develop automated risk tools using Python, including alerting systems, dashboards, and custom reporting aligned with EM-specific risk drivers.
• Partner with developers to integrate risk analytics into a web-based platform, using SQL for data sourcing and backend support.
• Design user-friendly GUIs in Python, making analytical tools more accessible to both risk and investment teams.
• Strengthen codebase reliability through improved testing routines and better version control, supporting a scalable and responsive risk platform.

What You'll Bring:

• Experienced in market risk within Emerging Markets, ideally with exposure to macro, multi-asset, or fixed income portfolios.
• Skilled in Python and SQL, with the ability to automate and optimize data-driven risk processes.
• Comfortable engaging directly with PMs, offering clear and actionable analysis.
• Passionate about improving tools and workflows that support smarter, faster risk decisions.
• Curious, proactive, and able to thrive in a collaborative, high-performance culture.

Why Join?

• Direct access to Portfolio Managers and investment leaders in one of the most dynamic segments of global markets.
• A seat at the table in shaping the future of risk analytics and infrastructure within a top-tier hedge fund.
• An opportunity to contribute meaningful insight where macro risk meets emerging market volatility and opportunity.
