The Market Moves Fast. So Should You.
We’re hiring a world-class Head of Trading Risk to join one of London’s most dynamic and fast-scaling multi-asset CFD & FX brokers. This is a rare opportunity to step into a mission-critical role—one that sits at the heart of the firm’s trading engine and directly influences performance, protection, and profit.
You’ll be the guardian of the book—monitoring, managing, and optimising real-time trading risk across a broad suite of leveraged products. This isn’t a back-office role. It’s front-and-centre, high-stakes, high-impact, and ideal for someone with both the analytical sharpness and the nerve to thrive in a trading environment.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Oversee real-time exposure and P&L across FX, indices, commodities, and crypto CFD products
* Identify and mitigate trading risk across market, client, and systemic levels
* Partner with trading, quant, and product teams to manage hedging strategies
* Build and refine risk models and controls (in-house or with third-party tech)
* Be the first line of defence for high-volatility events—your calls will matter
* Lead investigations into anomalies, slippage, and pricing issues
* Provide regular risk reporting to senior leadership and compliance
What We’re Looking For
* 3–6+ years of risk or trading experience within a CFD, FX, or proprietary trading firm
* Deep understanding of market risk, client behavior, and margin-based products
* Familiar with real-time risk systems, MT4/MT5, cTrader, and bridging technology
* Quantitative mindset with a pragmatic, commercial edge
* Calm under pressure, alert to threats, and ready to act fast
* Confident communicator who can influence decisions and lead calmly in a storm
Why This Role?
* Work with a high-performance team in a well-capitalised, tech-forward brokerage
* Total transparency and real responsibility from Day 1
* A seat at the table with trading, product, and executive leadership
* Shape the risk function as the business scales into new regions and asset classes
* Be part of a business where trading is the heartbeat—and risk sits at its core
💼 This is more than a job. It’s a chance to own the risk story inside a sharp, ambitious, and unapologetically fast-moving trading firm. If you're tired of bureaucracy and hungry to make an impact—this is your moment.
