IMC is currently looking for a Senior Risk Manager to be a part of the US Risk Management Team. Our risk management team operates closely with trading and technology teams in order to manage the inherent risks in IMC’s trading strategies across various technologies. We are looking for someone who can bring risk management expertise and at the same time a critical, quantitative and proactive hands-on approach. It will be your challenge to support the risk assessment and management responsibilities for market, credit, liquidity, operational, and regulatory risks with a particular focus on market risk. In addition, you will be responsible for monitoring and enhancing risk management’s intraday monitoring tools and reports. To excel in this role you will use your experience and your analytical skills to add value, not bureaucracy to the business.
