* Develop Risk Analytics: Create and enhance tools and reports to assess and visualize risk metrics, including stress tests, VaR, and concentration analysis.
* Innovate and Evolve: Advance the firm’s approach to quantitative risk modeling, incorporating simulation and machine learning techniques where relevant.
* Governance and Compliance: Ensure risk policies meet internal standards, investor expectations, and regulatory requirements across jurisdictions.
* Enable Growth: Support expansion into new markets and products by implementing adaptive systems that maintain transparency and control as the platform scales.
About You
* Academic Background: Degree (Bachelor’s or Master’s) in mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
* Professional Experience: 10+ years in risk management within a hedge fund, multi-manager, or trading firm, ideally with systematic or quant-driven strategies.
