About us: an international investment fund managing capital in trust, trading on major institutional exchanges.
Office – hybrid format is negotiable.
We're looking for a risk manager who directly influences trading and PnL — someone involved in real decisions, not just checking things after the fact. This is an independent function: you assess risk through your own lens and have the authority to act.
Important to clarify upfront: this is not a regulatory, credit, or compliance risk role. If your background is in CCR/XVA modeling, regulatory stress testing, reporting, or T+1 methodology at a bank — this position isn't for you, and we'll save each other some time. We need someone who has cut risk in real time, not documented it after the fact.
What you'll do
Strategy & risk framework
- Understand the fund's strategies: how they make money and where the risk lies
- Propose well-reasoned risk limits for each strategy — backed by calculation and rationale
Real-time risk management
- Monitor risk profile and account collateralization, respond to deviations
- Manage liquidity risk in cross-exchange arbitrage — e.g., what to do when a position is open on two exchanges and liquidity on one suddenly drops
- Model emergency scenarios using real data, build stress-testing models
Interaction & systems
- Work with brokers and exchanges: limits, margin, non-standard situations
- Define requirements for risk-system developers and contribute to their development
What we're looking for (must-have)
- 5+ years in risk management, trading, or quant
- Hands-on experience overseeing account collateralization with real authority to influence and act (reduce risk), not just observe
- Experience with market risk in derivatives/futures markets (not spot or equities)
- Experience with liquidity risk specifically in trading — concrete situations, not general principles (pings, VPNs, etc. don't count)
- Strong Python / SQL
- Experience at a hedge fund, prop trading firm, or broker
Nice-to-have
- Building or improving risk systems
- Low-latency / HFT systems experience
- Experience in crypto markets
- Ability to explain complex things simply
Terms
- Official employment
- Equipment and software: Apple laptops, peripherals, subscriptions to AI tools
