The firm have had exceptional performance in a short space of time and have built out their US office impressively, with high-profiles names in front and back-office functions – they are focused on building out a similar best-in-class European office. This will be the first dedicated risk manager hire in London.

Risk frameworks are built and risk management processes are in place – the hire will further develop the framework / processes, but with a core focus on risk reporting for the business. The role will also extend to risk monitoring, VAR, and the development and maintenance of risk models. The role will offer the opportunity to work directly with leading traders and quant professionals, offering a wide variety of ad hoc projects to be involved in.

The ideal candidate will be a Risk Manager from a hedge fund, with a minimum 5-10yrs experience. They will be a self-starter, able to work independently and effectively, as part of a fast-paced organisation. Strong tech skills are a pre-requisite, with advanced coding skills in Python or VBA required. While the firm are multi-asset, they have a proposed expansion into digital assets, so any exposure to the crypto space would be beneficial.

My client are looking to pay up to £200k TC year-one, with a clear trajectory for the hire to earn a multiple of this in years 2/3/4 etc.
