Role Description

Finalto is looking for a hands-on Trading Risk Manager to partner closely with the trading desk and take ownership of client flow analysis, P&L drivers, and real-time risk decisions across our UK & Europe business. This role is focused on real-time trading risk and flow analysis, rather than purely model-driven or regulatory risk reporting. We are looking for someone who understands client trading behaviour, flow quality, and exposure management, and can make timely, commercially sound risk decisions in a fast-paced environment.

Responsibilities

• Monitor and manage client trading flow, exposure, and P&L in real time during London trading hours.
• Analyse client behaviour and flow quality, identifying trends, opportunities, and risks.
• Detect and respond to abnormal or opportunistic trading patterns (e.g. latency-driven or event-driven strategies).
• Assess portfolio concentration and exposure dynamics, taking action to optimise risk outcomes.
• Partner closely with trading and sales teams to align on client strategy and risk approach.
• Provide clear insights into P&L drivers and exposure changes to support decision-making.
• Work with internal risk systems and trading data to monitor flow, analyse performance, and support real-time decisions.
• Contribute to risk strategy, client segmentation, and execution approach.
• Engage with internal and external counterparties to ensure efficient risk management and execution.

Requirements

• 5+ years in trading risk, dealing, or flow risk roles within brokerage, prop trading, or electronic trading environments.
• Strong understanding of client flow dynamics, P&L generation, and exposure management.
• Experience assessing flow quality and making real-time risk decisions in a trading environment.
• Ability to identify toxic or opportunistic trading behaviour.
• Solid knowledge of FX, CFDs, or derivatives markets.
• Comfortable operating in a front-office, fast-paced environment with direct impact on performance.
• A commercial mindset, with an understanding of how risk decisions influence trading outcomes.
• Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with traders, sales, and senior stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience in prime-of-prime or B2B brokerage environments.
• Familiarity with LP behaviour, execution quality, and pricing dynamics.
• Exposure to options or more complex products.
• Basic to intermediate SQL or Python skills to support data analysis and workflow efficiency.
