Job Overview

Working within the Strategic Equity Solutions (SES) business, an integral part of Equities, this role holds primary responsibility for providing comprehensive front line risk support across Global SES products. This includes critical areas such as equity margin lending, fund share financing, and structured equity derivatives, ensuring robust first line risk management in a dynamic financial environment.

This position is central to enabling the SES business to achieve its objectives by meticulously assessing, mitigating, and monitoring risk across its diverse portfolio. The role is pivotal in driving sound decision-making, maintaining strong governance, and fostering collaborative relationships with various internal stakeholders to uphold the firm's risk appetite and regulatory commitments.

What you will do will be varied day to day, but the key drivers for the role are:

• Conducting in-depth fundamental credit analysis on underlying collateral issuers to inform recommendations for new and existing equity margin financings, credit, and structured products.

• Assessing complex risk structures, including both non-recourse and recourse arrangements, and integrating credit risk factors with market risk attributes to provide a holistic transaction risk view.

• Managing the deal approval lifecycle, from initial credit review and due diligence through risk discussions, exposure booking, and continuous monitoring.

• Developing, maintaining, and enhancing risk frameworks for both new and existing products, ensuring continuous process improvement and robust risk governance initiatives across the business.

• Supporting the strategic expansion of new products by designing and implementing comprehensive governance frameworks, including approval processes, New Activity Committee materials, and product program documentation.

• Acting as a vital partner in the first line of defense, proactively managing risk-related processes such as annual portfolio reviews, ratings, and adherence to group policies and guidelines.

• Ensuring firm-wide consistency and effective risk management by coordinating closely with regional counterparts across SES Structuring and Trading teams on all transactions.

• Providing critical support for internal and external audits, regulatory reviews, and special management projects, including business updates, portfolio analysis, and regulatory deliverables.

What we will need from you

• Experience in managing risk for hedge funds, private equity funds, or similar alternative investment structures and/or structured equity products.

• Proven expertise in structured asset risk financing, including secured equity-based lending, fund financing facilities (NAV, Hybrid NAV), and structured credit products (e.g., TRS facilities).

• Strong background in counterparty credit risk management and a demonstrated ability to underwrite and approve risk for client transactions, and bespoke financial solutions

• Demonstrated quantitative and analytical skills paired with clear and concise written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work with multiple functional groups in a cohesive manner and to multi-task and prioritize deal flow and initiatives

• Awareness of internal risk-related Policies and Procedures, particularly those impacting the Risk organization, a plus
