Job description

Overview:

A leading investment firm is looking to hire a Macro Risk Manager to support its macro-focused investment activities. This role sits at the intersection of quantitative analytics and front-office risk-taking, working closely with portfolio managers to assess and manage risks across macro investment strategies. The successful candidate will play a key role in enhancing the firm’s risk infrastructure while contributing directly to investment decision-making.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Investment Partnership: Work closely with portfolio managers, researchers, and central risk teams to challenge assumptions, refine portfolio construction, and ensure risk frameworks are embedded into the investment process.
  • Portfolio Engagement: Evaluate current positioning, identify emerging risks and how it affects the firm's portfolio.
  • Investment Risk Analysis: Interpret and contextualize PnL drivers and risk changes, providing clear explanations of market moves and their impact on macro books across asset classes.
  • Risk Methodology: Develop and implement risk metrics tailored to shorter-term systematic strategies; build and maintain monitoring tools for portfolio managers
  • Risk Measurement: Produce detailed and forward-looking risk reports that provide a holistic view of exposures across volatility strategies. Ensure reporting captures sensitivities across key dimensions such as vega, gamma, skew, and term structure.
  • Stakeholder Engagement: Work across risk, technology, and investment teams to ensure consistency in risk methodologies and alignment with broader firm objectives.


Requirements:

  • Extensive experience in a risk management position within a Hedge Fund or Asset Manager.
  • Strong understanding of macro products (e.g., Rates & FX)
  • Strong experience partnering with Portfolio Managers/Investment Professionals challenging assumptions and engaging in conversation around portfolio construction.
  • Proficiency in programming (e.g., Python or similar), with the ability to build analytical tools and manipulate large datasets
