• Ensuring strategies operate within risk allocations set by the Investment Committee
• Supporting trade portfolio construction across the discretionary business
• Driving the build-out of the firm's risk framework, processes and infrastructure

What they're looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (Maths, Stats, Econometrics, Financial Engineering, Operations Research, Computer Science, Physics); advanced degree preferred
• Graduate level up to 3 years' commercial experience
• A demonstrated interest in risk management and a quantitative approach
• Strong communication skills and the ability to collaborate with global teams
