Senior Risk Manager - Long/Short Equity
Senior Risk Manager - Long/Short Equity
A leading Multi Strategy Hedge Fund is hiring a Senior Risk Manager to join the team in NYC.
This hire will focus on the growing fundamental equities business, covering risk management for Equity Long/Short and Event Driven strategies. Since this is a senior role, the firm is looking for direct experience coming from another hedge fund; this individual will ideally mesh with the collaborative culture and hit the ground running.
With the continued growth of the Equities business and the current volatility in markets, this hire will be instrumental in optimizing portfolio construction methodology for existing investment strategies, while revamping strong risk frameworks to be utilized moving forward.
For new PMs joining, this risk manager will work hand in hand to onboard, learn, and monitor new strategies. And across the whole equity business, this hire will work with the CRO to monitor firmwide exposures and concentration, and develop and implement hedge strategy that minimizes downside.
The fund looks for technical skills with every hire - some coding experience and expertise with equity risk factor models is required. Because of the unique relationship with PMs, the CRO, and the CIO, this hire also needs to be very commercial and a strong communicator. Prior Equity Trading or Equity L/S investing experience is a plus.
Requirements:
- 10+ years of risk management experience, minimum 5 years at a hedge fund
- Global equities expertise - ideally in depth exposure to Long/Short and Event Driven strategies
- Familiarity with factor investing and utilizing equity risk factor models (Barra, Axioma, Aladdin analytics, etc.)
- Technical proficiency in Python or another scripting language
- Prior front office experience preferred
