A leading global asset manager is looking to hire an experienced Investment Risk professional into its London team.
This is a broad second-line investment risk role covering fixed income, equities and multi-asset portfolios, with particular exposure to new products, regulatory initiatives and investment risk framework development.
It is not simply a BAU monitoring role. You will work across investment, product and risk teams, independently assessing investment strategies, challenging risk analysis and helping ensure new products have the right risk and governance framework around them.
The formal remit is explicitly second-line, with responsibility for independent portfolio oversight and senior governance engagement. GRM IRO – Specialist job spec -…
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
