Risk Management at Wintermute

As Risk Analyst you will be part of the global Risk Management function. The team plays a vital role in Wintermute’s growing OTC and counterparty-facing business, as well as its presence on trading venues.
You will monitor, maintain and help improve the risk management framework for a large number of products (spot, derivatives, electronic and voice trading, etc) and types of counterparties. 

You will work closely with various teams such as trading, middle office and business development. A strong understanding of the trade life cycle of derivatives and spot will be beneficial.

Responsibilities

    • Holistically evaluate positions and design relevant market risk frameworks for scaling up trading across various products.
    • Review traded market risk data and recommend implementation of new risk limits and controls to senior management and traders to ensure significant risks are mitigated.
    • Analyse traded volumes vs perpetual futures open interest on various exchanges to determine the impact of adverse market and liquidity risk events and stress test scenarios.
    • Develop tools for daily monitoring and reporting of various positions traded by the firm including impacts on VaR limits and relevant stress tests.
    • Independently review trading limits and parameters to ensure alignment with risk-reward appetite.
    • Proactively help improve the risk framework across derivatives, and spot products
    • Analyse market trends, reports, statistics, and relevant documentation, then inform relevant stakeholders as appropriate

Requirements

    • Experience in Market Risk Management with relevant responsibilities in a top tier/high performance financial institution. We are also open to seeing candidates with other risk experience who are willing to transition to market risk. 
    • Deep understanding of OTC trading workflows and the trade life cycle of spot trading and derivatives, including options, CFDs, and NDFs
    • Experience with the crypto markets is an advantage but not required; you should be able to quickly understand how crypto markets may be different
    • Strong commercial acumen that includes ability to take calculated risks, proactively identify and mitigate risks, develop tailored solutions (vs one size fits all “by the book” approach) 
    • Strong communication skills, the ability to understand when escalation is required 
    • Entrepreneurial and hands-on attitude, understanding the trade off between growth and risk
    • Strong quantitative skills and being highly confident to work with numbers and large datasets
    • Experience with Python for data manipulation, ad hoc analysis and creating risk metrics is preferred
    • Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative or relevant business subject

Join our dynamic team and benefit from:

    • Working at one of the most innovative trading firms globally. 
    • Engaging projects offering accelerated responsibilities and ownership compared to traditional finance environments.
    • A vibrant working culture with frequent team meals, holiday celebrations, gaming events, and company-wide outings, including our annual Wintermute weekend getaway. 
    • A Wintermute-inspired office in central London, featuring an array of amenities such as table tennis and foosball, personalized desk configurations, a cozy team breakout area with games and free food. 
    • Great company culture: informal, non-hierarchical, ambitious, highly professional with a startup vibe, collaborative and entrepreneurial.
    • A performance-based compensation with a significant earning potential alongside standard perks like pension and private Health insurance.

Note:

    • Although we are unable to accept fully remote candidates, we support significant flexibility in regards to working from home and working hours.
    • We offer UK work permits and help with relocation
