Risk Manager recruitment
A successful, established Proprietary Trading firm, based in the City, is looking to bring on board a Risk Manager with extensive experience creating and improving Risk Strategy and Systems.
The ideal candidate will have proven experience across all aspects of Market Risk, in particular VaR, Monte Carlo, Reverse Stress, Market to Market and Initial Margin. Exposure to other Risk areas (Credit, Counterparty etc.) would be useful.
He/She will have a thorough understanding across a wide range of asset classes as well as strong skills in Excel, MATLAB and/or VB and a proven ability to develop your own Risk Systems.
This is a role working within a small firm and will require the successful candidate to be a 100% self starter. You will be able to work independently with a keen eye on Business Strategy as the firm diversifies into other trading areas.
This is without doubt a real opportunity to take ownership of the Risk function (you will begin ostensibly as a team of 1) and to be an integral part of a successful business with strong growth plans. This is not a role for the faint-hearted - you will have to prove yourself quickly, prepare to be adaptable and be able to stand on your own two feet.
Salary £110,000 - £130,000 + bonus + benefits (healthcare, pension, gym, 25 days holiday)
