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 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 these frameworks and 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 technical skills are essential, with advanced coding skills in Python or VBA required. While the firm is multi-asset, they are considering expansion into digital assets, so any exposure to crypto would be beneficial.

The client is offering up to £200k TC in the first year, with a clear trajectory for earning a multiple of this in subsequent years.
