Requirements
• TradFi background — investment banking, multi-strategy hedge fund, or systematic trading firm • Hands-on market risk or trading risk experience — not primarily compliance or AML • Experience in a multi-strategy or multi-manager environment • Comfortable operating as a team of one — a self-starter who does not need infrastructure around them • Deep familiarity with VaR, drawdown controls, leverage limits, and stress testing • Exposure to digital asset markets, either directly or through a crypto desk • A genuinely paranoid approach to risk — not comfortable until every number has a clear explanation • Ambition to grow into a CRO role within two to three years
Responsibilities
• Own day-to-day risk monitoring across all active trading pods and external manager allocations • Stress-test portfolio exposures, drawdown limits, leverage, and concentration risk continuously • Monitor counterparty, custody, and operational risk across exchange and prime brokerage relationships • Enforce risk parameters with portfolio managers and flag breaches in real time • Produce concise risk reporting for leadership and institutional investors • Assess risk on new strategy onboardings, exchange relationships, and product launches • Build the risk function from the ground up with a view to stepping into CRO over time
