Senior Risk Manager (Hedge fund & SFC-licensing)

Mamoru • Full Time • Hong Kong, Hong Kong Island, China • 2d ago

Key Responsibilities

Define and maintain the firm's global risk appetite framework, providing strategic guidance to the Board and senior management on risk-taking across all regions and business lines.
Approve trading limits, new investment strategies, and the launch of new products, instruments, and market initiatives, ensuring appropriate risk controls are in place before implementation.
Lead, develop, and expand the global risk function, mentoring team members across multiple offices and building a scalable risk management capability to support business growth.
Partner with senior leadership on strategic business initiatives, expansion plans, and capital allocation decisions across global markets.
Serve as the primary risk representative and key point of contact for the Hong Kong SFC and other regulatory authorities globally.
Act as an external-facing representative of the risk function, engaging directly with brokers, banks, and counterparties on risk-related matters.
Establish and continuously enhance risk methodologies, including VaR, Expected Shortfall, stress testing, scenario analysis, and portfolio risk measurement frameworks.
Drive the adoption of technology and AI-enabled solutions to modernize risk monitoring, reporting, and decision-making.
Exercise authority to suspend, restrict, or escalate trading activities when risk limits, policies, or governance standards are breached.
Represent the risk function at Board and executive committee level, providing independent challenge on strategic decisions.
Ensure a robust risk governance framework across all global operations, balancing oversight with commercial objectives.

Requirements

3+ years in markets/trading risk, including a leadership or senior deputy role; candidates ready to step up into their first Head of Risk seat are encouraged to apply. A mix of securities house (sell-side) and buy-side/hedge fund experience is preferred over a single-track background.
Direct, hands-on ownership of trading-book market risk e.g. setting and enforcing VaR, Expected Shortfall, and limit frameworks on live trading positions.
Strong understanding of trading activities and market dynamics, with a trading or front-office background strongly preferred over a purely risk, control, or back-office path.
Experience engaging risk and regulators across multiple countries and markets.
Current or former SFC Responsible Officer (RO), or a licensed representative (SFC) with clear potential to become an RO, is a strong plus.
Solid grasp of VaR, stress testing, and risk modeling; comfortable with AI.
Professional qualifications such as CFA, FRM, or PRM highly desirable.
Bachelor's degree or above in finance, economics, or related field.
Confident communicator; fluent in English and Cantonese and/or Mandarin.
Able to operate effectively in a fast-paced, global environment across time zones and multicultural teams.
