About the Role
We are looking for a highly analytical and driven Market Risk Analyst to join our growing Risk team. As we expand our product suite into high-leverage and complex instruments we need a specialist who can ensure our growth is sustainable and our exposures are rigorously managed.
In this role, you won't just be "watching the screens." While your primary focus is Market Risk, you will be a member of a team building a world-class Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) function. You will bridge the gap between deep quantitative trading risks and the broader strategic risk landscape, providing generalist support across operational, liquidity, and credit risk domains.
