    Head of Risk Management.

    We're looking to add to our NY based Risk Management team. The incumbent will probably have 10-12 years experience and be responsible for market risk, credit risk and overall data integrity for the NY based trading operations. A detailed knowledge of risk management for trading desks involved in credit derivatives and corporate bonds is essential. Experience of equity derivatives is desirable, and the successful candidate will have previous practice at managing a small team. The job stretches from risk management fundamentals such as setting and overseeing limits, supervising the valuation verification exercise, considering the risks posed by proposed new activities and carrying out due diligence inspections on certain categories of potential counterparties.

    The role will suit someone who is a team player, technically strong and good at prioritizing among multiple tasks. It offers a challenging role in a successful and evolving environment
