A highly successful, multi-strategy, global hedge fund is looking to add an exceptional individual into their CT based Risk team.
The firm have had exceptional performances over the past few years and are now one of the leading names in the industry. Having doubled in both headcount and AUM in recent years, this is a truly exciting time to join the firm. A major area of growth has been the firm’s US equity strategy – we are looking to hire a risk manager specific to their Stamford based equities trading desk.
Working as part of an exceptional team, the hire will cover market risk for high-volume equity trading. We are keen to stress that the Risk team is viewed as an extension of the front office at this fund, meaning you will have daily exposure and interaction to their industry leading PMs and traders. The firm are highly quantitative and will provide an ideal environment for someone to develop their coding skills. As this is a relatively new strategy, playing a key role in helping build infrastructure will form a core component of the role.
Candidates should have roughly 2-5 years of experience in a buy-side firm, working in a risk, quant, or a trading function. Advanced coding skills and exceptional academic backgrounds are a pre-requisite.
My client have a flexible budget for this position and will pay a lucrative comp package for a high performer, likely up to $400k TC year-one.
