A multi-billion dollar AUM hedge fund are looking to hire market risk manager, specific to its rapidly expanding US fixed income/credit strategy.
Supported by a team of juniors that cover multi-strategy, the new hire is the point of escalation / SME specific to the credit investment desk (that the hire will sit with). Risk management work is technical, quantitative, in high volume and street/market facing – beyond core reporting and analysis, the hire will act as an advisor to the desk, often involved in investment decision making. The nature of the work + requirement to further enhance risk infrastructure will allow the hire to develop coding skills across a variety of languages. Assuming that the strategy continues to outperform the market and expand, the hire will have the opportunity to build a specialist risk management team for the strategy.
Candidates should have 5-10yrs risk management experience, ideally on the buy-side, however we could consider IB candidates. Coding skills are essential. Our client also expects candidates to have strong academic profiles, maths/quantitative focused.
Other risk managers at the firm typically earn a $300-350k TC, with substantial growth expected as the hire works themselves towards a more senior position in the department.
