Our client is a global proprietary trading and market-making firm with a fast-growing footprint across Asia-Pacific. As the business scales its regional trading activity, they are building out a best-in-class market risk function and are looking to appoint an experienced Market Risk Manager to play a central role in that build.
This is a rare opportunity to join at the ground floor of an APAC expansion, working directly alongside trading and technology teams across a genuinely diverse product set, and to help shape the firm's market risk framework and capability in the region from an early stage.
Key Responsibilities
Own and evolve the market risk framework - rolling out risk limits and policies and ensuring consistent application across all trading activities.
Build trusted relationships with trading teams, providing independent challenge on market risk and working collaboratively to keep risk within the firm's risk appetite.
Design and implement stress tests and scenario analysis for a range of derivatives and Delta1 strategies.
Run daily risk monitoring, ensuring controls and processes are in place and reporting to stakeholders accurately and on time.
Prepare regular and ad-hoc market risk reports and analysis for trading and senior management.
Support the new product and strategy approval process, identifying risks and constructively challenging trading ideas.
Build and improve dashboards, reporting and monitoring tools to strengthen risk visibility and response capability.




Maintain relationships with counterparts at clearing houses and exchanges to ensure compliance with regulatory and capital requirements.
Candidate Requirements
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Finance, Mathematics, Statistics, Econometrics, Engineering or a related field; professional certifications (e.g. FRM, CFA) advantageous.
Approximately 5 years' experience in a front-office risk management role at a proprietary trading firm, hedge fund, or similar.
Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with the ability to interpret large datasets, investigate trading behaviour and develop data-driven risk insights.
Solid understanding of options theory, derivatives and financial products, including key market risk characteristics and practical application of option structures, pricing and risk concepts.
Demonstrated market risk experience across one or more asset classes - listed equities, commodities, foreign exchange and fixed income - with the ability to quickly build expertise in new products. Experience with Asian equity markets highly regarded.
Proven track record managing projects spanning multiple stakeholders, teams and locations.
Proficiency in Python, with working knowledge of AI tools.
Solid troubleshooting and diagnostic skills, with the ability to solve problems creatively and proactively.
Ability to prioritise, act and perform successfully in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment.
