Experienced Risk Manager, Market & Credit Risk

Flow Traders is looking for an ambitious Risk Manager to join our growing EMEA Risk Management team. The ideal candidate is a proactive risk manager who enjoys the challenge of helping shape how we manage risk in our dynamic company. This is a unique opportunity to join a leading proprietary trading firm with an entrepreneurial and innovative culture at the heart of its business. We value quick-witted, creative minds and challenge them to make full use of their capabilities. If you aim high, the sky is the limit!

You bring thorough knowledge of at least one of the major asset classes we trade (Equity, Fixed Income, FX or Crypto) and will interact closely with traders to gain a deep understanding of trading strategies and exposures. You will transfer this understanding into improvements for our risk management frameworks, limits and policies. As the scope of our business activities is expanding, a key challenge will be to help establish aspects of financial risk management frameworks from the ground up, and help guide and train the team in this transition.

 

What You Will Do

  • Interact closely with trading desks to become intimately familiar with their exposures, trading strategies and market activity
  • Perform trading desk risk assessments to update identified risks, monitoring requirements, stress tests, and limits
  • Analyze trading desks’ capital usage and return on capital, connecting it to entity-level risk capacity
  • Ensure the required tools and reports to facilitate risk analysis are in place
  • Create and update risk policies and procedures to ensure effective governance and operations
  • Be involved in regulatory processes and deliverables such as ICAAP and IFR/IFD
  • Train and guide other team members
  • Align policies, tools and analyses with colleagues in local offices worldwide
  • This position is full time onsite in our Amsterdam location 

 

What You Need to Succeed

  • More than 6 years of relevant experience in financial risk management or trading
  • Relevant university degree in Econometrics, Mathematics or Finance
  • Experience with Python and/or C#  
  • Have experienced working in investment and/or trading firms 
  • Strong knowledge of at least one of the major asset classes we trade (equity, fixed income, FX or Digital Assets)
