The client is seeking senior ownership of hedge fund credit risk across prime brokerage. The role provides end-to-end oversight of hedge fund counterparties, including performing credit analysis and ongoing risk assessment across prime brokerage products. Key responsibilities include evaluating fund structures, strategies, leverage, liquidity profiles, and risk concentrations, as well as reviewing fund performance, NAV movements, drawdowns, and stress scenarios to identify emerging risks.
The client will be responsible for prime brokerage and financing credit risk oversight across margin lending, securities financing, derivatives, and synthetic prime brokerage. This includes monitoring counterparty exposures, collateral coverage, and margin sufficiency under normal and stressed conditions, and assessing the impact of market volatility on hedge fund portfolios and financing arrangements. The role will also partner with front office teams to support new client onboarding, product expansion, and structuring discussions.
Governance and stakeholder management are central to the position, with ongoing portfolio surveillance covering limit utilization, concentration risk, and wrong-way risk. The role will escalate credit concerns, recommend risk mitigation actions such as margin calls or exposure reductions, and prepare credit memos and risk assessment materials for senior risk committees. The successful applicant is expected to have a strong educational background in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, or a related discipline; typically 8–12+ years of experience in credit risk, counterparty risk, or prime brokerage risk; strong analytical judgment; and communication skills to challenge constructively and influence senior stakeholders in a fast-paced, market-driven environment.
