As Chief Risk Officer, you will own the design and oversight of a comprehensive, cross-strategy risk framework - setting risk limits and guidelines, governance standards, and controls that underpin the firm's integrated approach to portfolio management.

This is not a traditional oversight role. You will operate as a core strategic partner to the CIO and Multi-Strategy PM, helping define how risk is measured, budgeted, allocated, and optimized across the platform.

For a senior equity risk professional, this is an opportunity to expand from asset-class specialization into firm-wide portfolio construction and capital allocation across multiple strategies. While remaining deeply engaged with the Equity business, you will increasingly influence portfolio decisions across Credit, Arbitrage, and other investment strategies as the platform continues to scale and mature.

You'll have the opportunity to learn and lead:

Lead Across Asset Classes

• Expand from equity risk expertise into cross-asset portfolio construction across Credit, Arbitrage, and multi-strategy
• Design and evolve the firm's integrated risk infrastructure, including models, limits, and governance frameworks

Shape Firm-Level Capital Allocation

• Own the risk budgeting process, allocating capital across strategies based on performance, correlation, and market conditions
• Partner directly with the Multi-Strategy PM on portfolio construction decisions
• Influence how risk capital is deployed, scaled, or reduced across the platform

Build and Institutionalize

• Establish volatility targets, drawdown controls, and capital efficiency standards
• Develop a risk governance model that balances rigor with commercial practicality
• Support the transition to a cohesive, institutionally scalable multi-strategy platform

Operate as a Firm-Level Decision Maker

• Contribute to the firm's most critical portfolio decisions
• Build a track record as a capital allocator, with impact tied to overall firm performance

What we're looking for

Experience

• 10+ years in quantitative risk management, ideally within an equity-focused hedge fund, asset manager, or multi-strategy platform
• Proven experience leading a risk function, including setting limits, managing exposure, and supporting senior decision-making
• Exposure to Credit and/or Arbitrage is an asset; strong interest in cross-asset investing is essential
• Track record of partnering with portfolio managers as a trusted advisor

Technical Skills

• Strong command of key risk metrics including Sharpe ratio, VaR, volatility, drawdown, factor exposure, and tail risk
• Advanced quantitative capabilities, including model development and data analysis
• Solid understanding of portfolio construction, including correlation, position sizing, and capital efficiency

Leadership & Judgment

• Ability to challenge and collaborate effectively with investment teams
• Strong decision-making in dynamic and uncertain market environments
• Clear communicator, able to translate complex analysis into actionable insights
• Builder mindset with interest in shaping and scaling a platform

Mindset & Fit

• Views risk as a strategic lever, not just a control function
• Motivated by the opportunity to influence firm-level outcomes
• Interested in building a long-term platform, track record, and impact
