Risk Engineering, Vice President, Market Risk Strats, New York

In Risk Strats, we are a team of quantitative experts responsible for driving timely and efficient risk management across the firm's market, credit, liquidity, and capital exposures. We design and deliver quantitative models, metrics, tools, and analyses essential to the firm's financial control and reporting functions.

The team is responsible for designing, implementing and maintaining quantitative measures of risk such as Value at Risk, Exposure Modelling, Stress Testing, as well as metrics used to determine the firm's capital requirements, along with tools and systems that streamline and bring efficiency to the review and explanation of these metrics by leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs).

Whether assessing the creditworthiness of the firm's counterparties, monitoring market, credit, and liquidity risks associated with trading activities, or offering analytical and regulatory compliance support, our work contributes directly to the firm's success. The division is ideal for collaborative individuals who have strong ethics and attention to detail.
