## About the role

Reporting to the Head of Risk Management, the Lead of Financial Risk owns second-line oversight of market, credit, liquidity, and counterparty risk across the firm. You will build the financial risk appetite and limit framework, establish the governance that sits around it, and carry meaningful visibility with executive leadership and the Board.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in financial risk management, with substantial experience at a broker-dealer, clearing firm, prime broker, or comparable regulated environment, and prior ownership of a risk program
- Direct experience across market, credit, liquidity, and counterparty risk, ideally including securities lending and margin
- Demonstrated experience building margin policy, stress testing methodology, and scenario design, not only running an inherited model suite
- Working knowledge of clearing and settlement mechanics, including NSCC and DTCC exposure and clearing fund dynamics
- Practical fluency with agentic AI applied to risk work, with real examples of what you have built or deployed
- Strong quantitative capability with the tooling to apply it: Python or SQL, comfort working directly with large datasets and BI and data visualization software
