What we’re looking for
You will be an experienced investment risk professional from an asset management or investment environment, ideally with strong exposure to fixed income and/or equities.
Importantly, we are looking for someone who has done more than simply run an established risk process. Experience of launching new products, developing risk frameworks, implementing new analysis, regulatory change or building new processes would be particularly valuable. Pasted text
You will need strong technical investment risk knowledge, good commercial judgement and the confidence to provide credible independent challenge to senior stakeholders.
