Job description

Our client is a well-regarded multi-strategy platform with a strong track record across a range of discretionary strategies. Having scaled considerably in recent years, AUM now sits in the multi-billion dollar range, backed by a growing bench of PMs running diversified, specialist books.

As part of this growth, they're opening a new office and are looking for a senior risk professional to help build it out from the ground up. It's a rare chance to join a lean, high-impact risk team at a platform where risk management is treated as core to the investment process, and to play a founding role in a new location backed by an already established, well-resourced business.

Day to day, you'll liaise with PMs, monitoring risk exposures against mandates, limits, and drawdown parameters, while helping maintain and evolve the firm's risk framework across exposure limits, liquidity stress testing, and leverage monitoring. You'll work closely with the investment committee and senior risk leadership to ensure risk parameters are upheld platform-wide, and contribute to risk reporting for investors, regulators, and internal stakeholders as the fund continues to scale.

We're looking for someone with a strong track record in hedge fund risk management, ideally multi-strategy or macro, with solid grounding in market, liquidity, and leverage risk across FX, rates, and equities. Comfort with in-house or proprietary risk systems and strong Excel skills are essential, as is a collaborative style and excellent communication given the close exposure to PMs, the COO, and senior leadership.
