Job Description
Summary
We are seeking a
Market Risk Manager
to serve as the strategic architect of our exchange’s risk ecosystem. In this leadership capacity, you will move beyond daily oversight to own the end-to-end market risk strategy across Spot, Derivatives, and Earn portfolios. You will act as a critical bridge between the trading floor and the executive suite, ensuring that high-frequency market dynamics are reconciled with our long-term Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) goals and regulatory obligations.
What you'll be doing:
1. Strategic Risk Governance & Oversight
- Lead and Design the daily monitoring framework for market risk exposures, ensuring global oversight of Spot and Derivative instruments.
- Architect non-linear risk strategies for Crypto Options, establishing firm-wide standards for managing volatility smiles and tail-risk events unique to digital assets.
- Direct the evolution of risk models for Structured Products and "Earn" portfolios, integrating liquidity and credit risk into a unified market risk view.
- Own the Stress Testing Framework: Oversee the design and execution of VaR, back-testing, and extreme-event simulations, presenting findings directly to the Risk Committee.
2. Product Innovation & Risk Architecture
- Approve New Product Launches: Serve as the primary risk authority for "Earn" and structured offerings, ensuring risk-return profiles align with capital preservation goals.
- Optimize Greeks Management: Set and enforce mandates for $\Delta, \Gamma, \Theta, \text{and } V$, providing senior-level intervention during limit breaches.
- Liquidity Strategy: Develop proactive protocols to mitigate slippage-related manipulation by synthesizing on-chain and off-chain liquidity intelligence.
3. Enterprise Leadership (ERM)
- Policy Ownership: Drive the alignment of market risk limits with the broader Enterprise Risk Appetite Statement.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with Legal, Compliance, and Operations to embed a holistic risk culture across the organization.
- Executive Reporting: Transform complex technical data into strategic insights for the Board and regulatory bodies, acting as the primary point of contact for external audits.
What we're looking for:
- 8+ years of progressive experience in Market Risk, with a proven track record of leading functions within an investment bank, hedge fund, or Tier-1 crypto exchange.
- Expert-level understanding of Derivatives pricing, hedging, and the ability to deconstruct multi-leg financial products.
- Demonstrated ability to manage risk through an organizational lens, balancing trading profitability with regulatory stability.
- Advanced quantitative modeling skills (SQL, Python, or R).
- Deep familiarity with yield-generating protocols and counterparty risk frameworks.
- FRM or PRM designation is highly preferred.
- Advanced understanding and/or experience working in a Cryptocurrency/Blockchain/Fintech/Finance Trading domain preferred.
