Investment Risk Analyst

In this position, you'll sit within a collaborative and high-performing risk team, working closely with Portfolio Managers and senior stakeholders across the investment platform.

A key differentiator in this role is the opportunity to support portfolios with exposure to physical products, offering a unique blend of traditional financial risk and real-world asset considerations. This adds an additional layer of complexity and commercial insight, making it particularly attractive for candidates looking to broaden their experience.

You'll gain exposure across asset classes and strategies, with a real opportunity to influence investment decisions through insightful risk analysis.

• Conducting stress testing and scenario analysis to assess portfolio performance under different market conditions
• Partnering directly with investment teams to challenge and support decision-making
• Contributing to the evolution of risk frameworks, tools, and analytics

• Strong understanding of financial markets and key risk concepts
• Solid analytical toolkit (Excel essential; Python/SQL a plus)
• A proactive mindset with strong attention to detail
• The ability to communicate complex ideas in a simple and impactful way
• Someone who is curious, commercially aware, and keen to learn

• Unique Portfolio Exposure - Work on strategies involving physical products alongside financial instruments
• Real Front-Office Exposure - You'll work closely with decision-makers, not in a silo
• Breadth of Coverage - Exposure across multiple asset classes and real-world market dynamics
• Influence & Visibility - Your work will directly shape investment discussions
• Strong Culture - Collaborative, intellectually stimulating, and supportive environment
• Career Development - Clear progression opportunities within a respected global platform
