Job description

A merger arbitrage / event-driven book, sitting within of one of the largest and most established multi-strategy platforms globally, is adding a seasoned Risk Arb Analyst to work directly alongside the PM.

The Seat:

Senior involvement across live deal situations - spread analysis, deal risk assessment (regulatory, financing, shareholder vote, MAC exposure), catalyst tracking, and position sizing input, with direct line into the PM's decision-making.

This is as much a judgment and communication seat as a technical one - deals move fast, information is often incomplete, and being able to accurately read a situation, and the people in it, matters as much as the model.

Backed by institutional-grade risk, data, and operational infrastructure.

Requirements:

Tenured analyst from a credible long/short equity, event-driven, or special situations background, with a demonstrable track record.

Exceptional judgment under pressure - calm, rational, and decisive when situations are moving quickly and information is imperfect.

Outstanding communication and interpersonal instincts - not just technically capable in isolation.

Long humility Short Ego.

AOB:

• You must be eligible to live and work in the US without requiring sponsorship.
