• Collaborate with modelling, technology, and business partners to enhance market risk processes, reporting quality, and capital efficiency.
• Lead a team with 1–2 direct reports and oversee the production of market risk reports with high-quality analysis and business insights.

• Proven people management experience, with the ability to lead, develop, and motivate teams in a complex, deadline-driven environment.
• Deep understanding of market risk methodologies, including VaR, stress testing, market risk capital, and financial derivatives.
• Demonstrated expertise in developing analytics and dashboards using Power BI or Tableau, with strong programming capabilities (e.g., Python, SQL, VBA, Unix/Bash).
• Strong project, organizational, and execution skills, with demonstrated experience managing cross‑functional initiatives, timelines, and competing priorities while maintaining accuracy and control.
• Excellent analytical, problem‑solving, and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex analysis into clear, senior‑level insights and exercise sound judgment.

What’s in it for you?

• The opportunity to join a forward-thinking company surrounded by a collaborative team of innovative thinkers.
