Investment Risk Oversight Specialist
London | £100,000–£130,000 12 Month Fixed Term Contract + Bonus
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.
