I am looking for an experienced and technically skilled Risk Analytics Manager to join a growing financial services group operating across trading, investment advisory, and market making. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives on building tools, solving complex problems, and turning data into meaningful insights that drive critical decisions.

As part of a high-performance risk team, you’ll lead the development and enhancement of dashboards, data pipelines, and models that power our risk analytics infrastructure. Your work will directly influence how risk is understood, monitored, and managed across a global, multi-asset platform.

The Role

You’ll be responsible for the tools and systems used to measure and report risk across the business. This includes developing analytics, improving data integrity, and partnering closely with teams across trading, technology, and operations. The role is hands-on, highly visible, and ideal for someone who can combine financial knowledge with strong programming skills.

You’ll design and maintain dashboards for real-time and historical risk monitoring, enhance key risk measures such as VaR, P&L attribution, and stress scenarios, and develop robust data pipelines to support risk modelling and reporting. You’ll work closely with cross-functional teams to align analytics with business objectives while ensuring data quality and consistency across systems. Clear documentation of methodologies and assumptions is also essential.
