Senior Front Office Risk Manager, Hedge Fund, LDN

eFinancialCareers; London; On-site; GBP 60,000 - 100,000; Full time

Job description

This hire is part of a wider growth plan, and the fund is growing in terms of AUM, breadth of products and markets traded. This has led to the need to build out the risk team. The risk function at this firm is trading focused, and experience working closely with Traders and/or PMs on areas such as trade sizing and portfolio correlation will be relevant. They are looking for a candidate with a strong understanding of linear interest rate derivatives trading, and the team has a significant RV focus, so candidates with applied experience of strategies such as bond basis/bond RV will be a good fit.

The fund has an entrepreneurial culture and is looking for candidates who can demonstrate a pragmatic and adaptable mindset. The team is made up of highly regarded and high-achieving individuals, so this hire is likely to share the same characteristics and entrepreneurial qualities. Due to the flat structure of the setup, this position will work directly with C-level executives, so a self-starter and independent thinker are crucial aspects for any candidate. However, it isn’t a siloed position, and the firm demonstrates a collegiate environment to work within.

Requirements

• 5 years plus experience working as a Risk Manager focusing on linear interest rate products
• Fixed Income RV experience a significant plus
• Excellent academic pedigree
• Experience working in a top tier bank or hedge fund
