Our team is looking for a Deputy Head of Risk.
You will become the right hand of the Head of Risk and will replace him across the entire spectrum of tasks:
- daily monitoring of risks and limits
- data analytics
- control of hedging and corporate actions
- work with quote providers and reporting for management.
This is a broad role for an experienced specialist capable of working autonomously and making decisions.
✅ What is important to us:
- you feel confident in analyzing large amounts of data
- you understand the pricing mechanics of derivatives and can discuss with top management where the company's risk is concentrated
- you strive to understand the reasons behind the numbers, not just verify them formally
📈 What you will do?
Risk Analytics and Monitoring (core of the role):
- conduct daily risk monitoring: client exposure, P&L (realized and unrealized), margin positions, balances
- maintain full control over the alert and anomaly system — from large realized losses to suspicious trading activity
- build and maintain risk limits for instruments (stress scenarios, soft/hard thresholds)
- control the correctness of hedging operations
SQL and Data Work:
- write complex analytical queries (PostgreSQL)
- confidently choose the right table for the task and understand data semantics
- be able to find discrepancies in data — reconcile between sources
Reporting:
- prepare management reports — dashboards, presentations with conclusions and recommendations understandable to management
- automate routine calculations and reports (Python proficiency is welcome)
Markets, Derivatives, and Corporate Actions:
- understand pricing for indices, commodities, and other derivatives
- calculate and control swaps (overnights): understand interbank interest rates on which swaps are built
- in commodity markets — understand swap calculations based on the futures curve (contango/backwardation, transition between near and far contracts)
- process corporate actions (dividends, splits, etc.): track events, correctly reflect them in positions and P&L
Quote and Liquidity Providers:
- participate in the support of price and liquidity providers, agree on new subscriptions and terms
- analyze the quality of prices and liquidity, compare quotes between sources, track basis risks
💫 What we expect:
- Senior level: several years in risk management, trading, or market analytics
- ability to work autonomously and make decisions
- confident SQL (PostgreSQL) — one of the main working tools
- deep understanding of traditional financial markets and derivatives
- ability to calculate swaps (overnights) and understand their mechanics
- understanding of corporate actions (dividends, splits, etc.) and ability to process them correctly
- analytical mindset: ability to formulate a hypothesis and test it with data
- attention to detail and accuracy
- interest in cryptocurrency and fintech
- English at B1+ level (correspondence with vendors and providers in English)
📈 Will be a big plus:
- Python for analytics (pandas, numpy, visualization) and report automation
- experience with quote and liquidity providers
- experience in building management reporting and working with dashboards (Tableau, etc.)
🔥Why join us?
- opportunity to influence the architecture of risk processes, not just execute them
- direct work with the Head of Risk and access to the entire business picture
- a team where analytics and healthy skepticism are a way of working, not a formality
- English language courses
- medical insurance and sick days
- active corporate life
