Job Description:
A rapidly scaling distressed debt and special situations hedge fund — on track to become a multi-billion dollar platform — is seeking a Senior Risk Manager to play a pivotal role in its next phase of growth toward $3–5B AUM.
This is a newly created, high-impact role designed for a proactive and commercially minded risk professional. You’ll work closely with the investment team and senior leadership to shape and evolve the firm’s risk framework from the ground up.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Designing and implementing the fund’s enterprise risk management framework
* Advising on risk concentrations, portfolio exposures, and stress testing
* Supporting the development and execution of hedging strategies
* Embedding risk thinking into the firm’s investment and strategic decision-making
* Serving as a thought partner to the CIO, investment team, and key stakeholders
What We’re Looking For
* Deep experience in credit risk — exposure to distressed credit or special situations preferred, but not essential
* Strong analytical and commercial instincts, with the ability to anticipate risks in complex, fast-moving markets
* Exceptional communication and influencing skills, with the confidence to engage senior decision-makers
* A hands-on, proactive approach — someone who “sees around corners” and acts decisively
Why This Role?
* Timing: Join at a defining inflection point — shape the fund’s risk culture as it scales from a lean team to a multi-billion-dollar platform
* Visibility: Work directly with the CIO and senior leadership, with direct exposure to investors and LPs
* Impact: Your work will be instrumental in establishing institutional-grade risk management — critical for growth and credibility
If you're a seasoned risk leader ready to shape and scale risk infrastructure at a fund on the rise, we’d love to connect.
