This opportunity is open to summer 2027 graduates who are looking to launch into their career within an entrepreneurial environment where talent can thrive and excel.

What You’ll Do

As a Risk Graduate within the Macro Risk function, you will be part of the team responsible for Market, Liquidity, and Counterparty Credit Risk Management. In conjunction with other members of the team, you will identify, monitor, and help mitigate these risks on Rothesay’s balance sheet through stress testing, limit setting and monitoring, capital model development and maintenance, as well as deep dives and ad-hoc projects. This role will require you to collaborate extensively and build relationships across the firm in particular with Trading Desks, Strats, and the Treasury function.

When you join us, you will start as a generalist developing a broad understanding of the risk management discipline as it applies to Rothesay’s business model. Subsequently, you are expected to choose one or more areas of specialisation and become a subject matter expert.

Professional development such as attainment of CFA and FRM designations will be encouraged.

The Macro Risk graduate path has been a proven launchpad for successful careers in both Risk and Front Office.
