A global, multi-billion dollar AUM hedge fund, are looking to hire a head of risk for their expanding Dubai office.
Covering all MENA / APAC investment strategies, the hire will work in a hands-on, multi-strategy risk management role. The mandate includes leading the research and implementation of new areas of risk management to support high-volume complex trading, integrating new internal VaR/SVaR models, optimising capital usage, creating new risk guidelines and working directly with leading Portfolio Managers to advise on risk limits, exposures and hedging. The hire will eventually have an opportunity to build out a small team underneath him/her.
Candidates should be experienced market/portfolio risk professionals, with roughly 8-15yrs multi-strategy derivatives experience, currently working for a major global hedge fund. Advanced tech skills and managerial experience are preferred. Naturally, the hire must be fully committed to relocating to Dubai next year.
Our client is committed to matching New York $TC for roles at this level + a minimum 10-20% increase for this hire - in a low tax hub, this makes relocation extremely attractive financially / this is a highly lucrative role for a high performing risk professional looking to relocate. A substantial relocation package will be offered to allow the new hire a comfortable transition to the UAE.
