Job Description:

My client, a rapidly expanding, global prop trading business, is looking to hire an exceptional Risk Manager into their growing team in London.

The firm has had exceptional performance in a short space of time and has built out their US office impressively, with high-profile 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, with a core focus on all aspects of market risk for the business, including risk monitoring, VAR, and the development and maintenance of risk models. The role offers the opportunity to work directly with leading traders and quant professionals, involving a variety of ad hoc projects.

The ideal candidate will be a Risk Manager from a hedge fund, with 5-10 years of experience. They should be a self-starter, able to work independently and effectively in a fast-paced environment. Strong tech skills are essential, with advanced coding skills in Python or VBA required. Exposure to digital assets or crypto would be beneficial, given the firm's potential expansion into this area.

My client is offering up to £200k total compensation in the first year, with a clear trajectory for earning multiples in subsequent years.
