Description

This new hire will join the team in NYC and serve as a senior risk manager facing off with and partnering with the co-heads of the business as they continue to expand.

Excellent opportunity for senior visibility and increased responsibility for someone currently in a larger team who wants more of a challenge. Other senior risk managers in the global team sit overseas, which adds to this unique opportunity to be in the center of the action with PMs in New York.

This hire must have at least 7+ years of experience in a front office risk management AND/OR risk-taking role as a trader or portfolio manager. The hiring team is open to a wide range of strategy experience, given the unique coverage of multi-asset arbitrage and event-driven strategies.

Ultimately this hire must be a hands-on leader, someone who can provide guidance to PMs and the senior management as these strategies move toward the forefront with increased capital allocations. Scaling smartly is the goal, and this hire will be instrumental.

• 7+ years of experience as a risk manager and/or quantitative researcher, trader, or PM
