What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Risk Officer (US Derivatives) – Global Hedge Fund – up to $750k TC position at Mondrian Alpha?
A multi-billion dollar AUM, global hedge fund, are looking to hire a senior risk officer specific to its rapidly expanding US derivatives business.
Whilst there is a small risk team in New York, portfolio risk management responsibilities for US derivatives currently sit with the firm’s larger risk teams in Europe and Asia – the new hire will take the lead on US derivatives from a portfolio risk / market risk perspective. The nature of the remit means that the hire will be exposed to multiple investment professionals.
As this is a high volume trading firm with a quantitative bias, the hire should expect to be involved in the buildout of new risk management tools, models and infrastructure, regularly working with the in-house quant and tech teams.
Candidates should have 5-15yrs experience in a hedge fund/IB/prop trading risk management role. Naturally, extensive skills / experience in derivatives are required. Coding skills are preferred. Academic profiles should be both top-tier and STEM focused ideally.
The role can potentially pay anything up to a $750k total comp package year-one, pending both exceptional individual and fund performance (so naturally there can be a significant variable on this TC).
Salary : $750,000
