The Role
Senior Market Risk Manager/ Head of Market Risk - Boutique “Global Macro” Hedge Fund (10-years + Hedge Fund, or Asset Management experience)
Martis Search is representing a boutique Mayfair-based Hedge Fund to hire a permanent “Senior Market Risk Manager” or “Head of Risk Management”.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a rapidly growing Hedge Fund.
The Hedge Fund is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. This is a senior Hedge Fund Front Office Market Risk role.

Candidates should have at least 10+ years of experience in “Global Macro” markets (Equity, Fixed Income, and FX) or multi-asset class strategies (e.g., Equity Long/Short with other asset classes). Preference is given to those from Hedge Funds, but Asset Managers will also be considered.
This role is senior but does not involve managing staff. You will collaborate closely with the Investment team and the CIO. You will be the most senior Market Risk professional in the firm, performing both hands-on and strategic tasks.
Ideal candidates will have a strong educational background in a numerate discipline and extensive financial modelling skills. Coding skills in Python, SQL, C++, R, VBA, etc., are desirable for building risk models, stress testing, data analysis, and visualization.

* Managing market risk for Equity, Fixed Income, and FX Global Macro strategies.
* Contributing to portfolio construction and strategy development in collaboration with the CIO and business development teams.
* Conducting risk analysis on trades and portfolios.
* Developing stress scenarios and risk metrics like VaR.
* Communicating risk insights to senior stakeholders.
* Monitoring market developments and assessing impacts.
* Analyzing P&L drivers and performance breakdowns.
* Participating in research to improve risk frameworks.
* Enhancing risk measurement, analytics, controls, and reporting.
Qualifications and Requirements
* Degree or Master’s Degree in a relevant field.
* Over 10 years of risk management experience in Hedge Funds or Asset Management.
* Strong understanding of buy-side operations.
* Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written.
* Ability to articulate complex ideas clearly.
* Competitive salary and clear career progression.
Note: Due to high trading volume and role complexity, candidates should be in the office more often than working remotely. Flexibility may be available occasionally.
**Please note that our client will not sponsor visas. All applicants must have full UK Right to Work and valid visas (e.g., Youth Mobility, Tier 4, Spouse Visas) that do not require sponsorship.**
