Role Description
Finalto is looking for a hands‑on Trading Risk Manager to partner closely with the trading desk and take ownership of client flow analysis, P&L drivers, and real‑time risk decisions across our UK & Europe business.
This role is focused on real‑time trading risk and flow analysis, rather than purely model‑driven or regulatory risk reporting. We are looking for someone who understands client trading behaviour, flow quality, and exposure management, and can make timely, commercially sound risk decisions in a fast‑paced environment.
Responsibilities
- Monitor and manage client trading flow, exposure, and P&L in real time during London trading hours.
- Analyse client behaviour and flow quality, identifying trends, opportunities, and risks.
- Detect and respond to abnormal or opportunistic trading patterns (e.g. latency-driven or event-driven strategies).
- Assess portfolio concentration and exposure dynamics, taking action to optimise risk outcomes.
- Partner closely with trading and sales teams to align on client strategy and risk approach.
- Provide clear insights into P&L drivers and exposure changes to support decision-making.
- Work with internal risk systems and trading data to monitor flow, analyse performance, and support real‑time decisions.
- Contribute to risk strategy, client segmentation, and execution approach.
- Engage with internal and external counterparties to ensure efficient risk management and execution.
Requirements
- 5+ years in trading risk, dealing, or flow risk roles within brokerage, prop trading, or electronic trading environments.
- Strong understanding of client flow dynamics, P&L generation, and exposure management.
- Experience assessing flow quality and making real‑time risk decisions in a trading environment.
- Ability to identify toxic or opportunistic trading behaviour.
- Solid knowledge of FX, CFDs, or derivatives markets.
- Comfortable operating in a front-office, fast‑paced environment with direct impact on performance.
- A commercial mindset, with an understanding of how risk decisions influence trading outcomes.
- Strong communication skills and the confidence to engage with traders, sales, and senior stakeholders.
Nice to have
- Experience in prime-of-prime or B2B brokerage environments.
- Familiarity with LP behaviour, execution quality, and pricing dynamics.
- Exposure to options or more complex products.
- Basic to intermediate SQL or Python skills to support data analysis and workflow efficiency.
