Market Risk Manager

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.

What’s in it for you:

• Friendly and fun start-up work culture

• Convenient work location located in the heart of CBD area
