An elite multi strat hedge fund is hiring a Risk Manager to cover Long/Short Equity Portfolio Managers in their NYC office.
The fund is specifically looking for a current or former risk-taker to join the risk management team - this can be a former equity PM, assistant/sub PM, or equity trader.
This is a high visibility role across all fundamental equity PMs in NYC, primarily focusing on the L/S business. The ideal candidate will be instrumental during prospective PM interviews, offering additional insight from a front office perspective when onboarding new managers.
In the day-to-day, this hire will work closely with a large group of PMs/Pods in more of a risk advisory setting, not a policing function. The risk team partners with the business to shape portfolio construction ideas, hedge strategy, appropriate risk limits, and understands the scenarios when those limits can be expanded.
This candidate will need to build rapport with the PMs from day one, and combined front office and risk management experience is essential.
Requirements:
- 8+ years of experience between risk-taking and risk management
- Equity market expertise - US/Global Cash Equities trading and/or risk management
- Strong analytical and quant skills
- Coding in Python, SQL, or a similar language preferred
- Ability to build and maintain strong relationships + excellent written and verbal communication
