Risk Analyst
Independent oversight of a multi-strategy book, with the authority to cut exposure.
01 — The role
What the job is.
Risk reports to the partnership, not to the investment committee. That is deliberate: the person watching the book needs to be able to say no without a meeting.
02 — Responsibilities
What you would own.
- Monitor portfolio risk daily: exposure, concentration, liquidity, correlation.
- Build stress scenarios that assume historical correlations are wrong.
- Report to the partnership, outside the investment team.
- Challenge position sizing and flag strategies drifting from their mandate.
- Own the limit framework and the escalation path when it is breached.
03 — Requirements
Skills, qualifications
and experience.
Skills
- Quantitative risk methods: the limits of VaR, factor models, scenario design
- Python or R for analysis, and SQL fluency
- Clear writing under time pressure
Qualifications
- Two or more years in risk, or a quantitative role with risk exposure
- The willingness to say no to a portfolio manager
Experience

- Having run an incident review end to end
04 — Compensation
