Overview

We are looking for a Senior Risk Analyst to oversee and develop risk frameworks across our trading activities.

This role sits close to the trading function, focusing on real-time risk, portfolio exposure, and strategy-level oversight across financial, event-driven, and probability-based markets.

You will be responsible for ensuring that risk is understood, measured, and managed effectively — not as a constraint, but as a core component of performance.

What You’ll Do

  • Monitor and manage real-time risk exposure across trading strategies

  • Develop and refine risk frameworks, limits, and controls

  • Analyse PnL drivers, drawdowns, and tail-risk scenarios

  • Work directly with traders to assess and challenge positioning and risk-taking

  • Identify concentration risks, correlations, and structural vulnerabilities

  • Build tools and models to improve risk visibility and decision-making

  • Contribute to post-trade analysis and performance evaluation

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong understanding of market risk, portfolio construction, and exposure management

  • Experience working in trading, risk, or a closely related function

  • Ability to operate in fast-moving, uncertain environments

  • Strong analytical and quantitative skillset

  • Experience with Python or similar tools is beneficial

We value judgment, independence, and the ability to think critically under pressure.

What You’ll Gain

  • Direct involvement in managing risk across live trading strategies

  • Exposure to a range of markets, including non-traditional and event-driven environments

  • The opportunity to shape and improve how risk is managed across the firm

  • A high level of responsibility and autonomy

Environment

  • Small, focused team

  • Close collaboration with traders and researchers

  • Emphasis on clarity, discipline, and performance

  • Ideas are evaluated on merit
