About the Job

Requirements

  • Understand the Global Markets business end to end.
  • Understand the firm's regulatory obligations, including CFTC and NFA requirements for the swap dealer, and how risk outputs feed capital, liquidity, and regulatory reporting.
  • Understand the systems and data that produce positions, prices, and collateral values, including their limitations.
  • Apply the firm's risk appetite, policies, and governance structure, including risk committees, escalation paths, and approvals, in day-to-day decisions.
  • Challenge business leaders with sound rationale and hold the line on limits while maintaining constructive relationships.
  • Translate complex quantitative concepts into clear, actionable insights for senior management, risk committees, and regulators.
  • Build relationships across teams to drive adoption of risk frameworks and influence how the organization thinks about risk.

Responsibilities

  • Run daily market risk across spot, lending, and derivatives books, including VaR, stress tests, sensitivities such as delta, gamma, vega, and basis, concentration, and liquidity-adjusted exposure.
  • Design, revise, and implement limits; escalate breaches and track remediation to closure.
  • Set and review collateral haircuts, initial and variation margin, concentration add-ons, and liquidation thresholds.
  • Build historical and hypothetical stress scenarios and translate results into limits and capital and liquidity impacts.
  • Contribute to the swap dealer risk management program, including limit documentation.
  • Work with platform, trading, and data teams on system design, access controls, and change management for risk-critical systems.
  • Produce risk reports for senior management, risk committees, and regulators.
  • Own market risk for a 24/7 business where positions, collateral values, and client exposures can move sharply outside business hours.
  • Make risk calls on thinly traded and volatile assets where historical data is limited and standard models require judgment and adjustment.
  • Balance enabling business growth with protecting the firm's capital, liquidity, and regulatory standing.
  • Shape firm-level outcomes through limit, margin, and haircut decisions that directly affect client capacity, revenue, capital usage, and loss exposure.
  • Work on problems without established playbooks, including new products and new venues.
  • Identify gaps in risk coverage, data, or systems, and drive fixes through to production.
  • Build tools and systems that measure risk; write production code, own risk data, and replace spreadsheets with automated controls.
  • Work independently from trading and sales as a second-line risk function and represent the risk function to regulators and auditors.
