AVP/VP Risk Management (Rates and FX) – New Function
The new function has been created on the back of the libor scandal, increased regulatory pressure and the handling of this by competitor Investment Banks. The function focuses on looking at rates that are submitted to external bodies and how those rates are validated in the current climate. There will be a great focus on the function so you should expect regular exposure to senior directors and MD’s in the business (Front Office and Finance), you are based on the trading floor and given that you are to be working in a team of 4 reporting in to an MD, you should also expect high accountability for the work that you produce.
The expectation is that you will perform a hands on role that should eventually lead to a managerial position as the function grows out. We are ideally looking for an individual ideally from a risk management background. You must either work in the front office or be heavily front office facing in your current role and be a specialist in either the Rates or FX space. Any governance type work is an advantage. We are not looking for line valuation or product controllers for this position.
The client is prepared to offer a salary that provides a significant increase on current base salary if we get an individual that ticks all of the required boxes. Given that the I are looking towards the London market for suitable candidates they are prepared to offer a relocation package for the position.
