  • Monitor and independently review portfolio risk daily, identifying any material changes or emerging risks.
  • Participate in investment strategy oversight meetings and other governance forums.

About You:

  • Strong proficiency in Python and SQL for data manipulation, automation, and analysis.
  • Experience developing and maintaining data infrastructures in a financial environment.
  • Knowledge of factor risk modelling, stress testing, and risk analytics.
  • Familiarity with BI/visualization tools and platforms such as FactSet (preferred).
  • Ability to communicate complex risk models and insights in a clear, understandable way.
  • Understanding of the regulatory environment related to investment risk is a plus.

Why Join?

  • Gain exposure to cutting-edge risk analysis techniques and portfolio strategies.
  • Competitive salary and benefits in a dynamic financial environment.
  • Opportunity to drive innovation in risk analytics and data infrastructure.

If you're a detail-oriented risk professional with strong coding skills and a deep understanding of equities, we'd love to hear from you. Apply now to be part of a leading investment team shaping the future of portfolio risk management
