Chicago, United States Maven Securities Ltd Full time

Maven is a technologically advanced proprietary trading organization founded in 2011 with office locations in London, Amsterdam, Chicago, New York, Hong Kong, and Monaco. The company employs some of the most talented traders, developers, engineers, and operational team members in the market and executes a diverse range of market-making and position-taking strategies across global derivatives, equities, and debt instruments. Whilst the culture is relaxed and informal, Maven is a highly focused organization that is rewarding of strong performance.

Maven's Risk team is innovative in the way it controls and monitors the extensive trading activities carried out across the firm. We're a global team, bringing together risk managers, technologists, and developers to design and deploy new systems for the business whilst implementing risk processes and ensuring diligent and skilled monitoring of the firm-wide trading exposures.

This Risk Analyst role presents an excellent opportunity for an exceptional individual with core expertise focused on options risk management. Whilst the role has an options risk focus, the right individual will also bring the skills required to contribute to risk monitoring across the broad range of fixed-income and equity instruments traded within our multi-strategy business. In doing so, they will take part in the development of risk management across the business.

In this position, the Risk Analyst will work as the Risk team's US representative, supported by established options market-making and multi-strategy risk team members. The successful candidate will learn about the variety of business activities we carry out and the strategies we employ, alongside providing the first line of risk management control for trading activities across key parts of the firm's business.

The limits we set to facilitate risk management are monitored by our custom risk systems. As Maven continues to grow and to implement new strategies, our risk monitoring systems, controls, and processes expand, increasing in their complexity and sophistication. The Risk Analyst will be required to update and maintain the daily risk processes and to carry out diligent risk monitoring; a significant responsibility considering the volume and diversity of trades executed. In addition, the successful candidate will also be expected to interpret and develop risk metrics; helping to shape our risk management processes whilst engaging with the broader team to provide input into the development of our systems, controls, and processes. Alongside this, the Risk Analyst will also engage and communicate with traders based in the US and, indeed, across our broader global trading locations.

If you have the skills we identify as important, combined with a natural curiosity for the financial markets and an understanding of trading and risk concepts, we can help you develop into a market-leading Risk Analyst.

Role Specifications:

Diligent risk monitoring on a real-time basis. Daily communication on risk issues and requirements within the risk team, with the CRO, and with stakeholders across trading and support functions. Market risk monitoring for options market-making and for proprietary trading within the multi-strategy group, particularly focused on strategies related to options trading. Drawing on training and support provided by the team, provide risk monitoring for broader strategy groups, such as those related to credit and convertibles trading, long-short strategies, and systematic alpha. Contribute to the development and enhancement of the existing risk monitoring and reporting framework, working in conjunction with the risk team and with teams across the broader business. Operational risk monitoring and participation in risk mitigation workstreams. Collaborate with the global risk team to carry out risk management-focused project work.

Candidate Specifications:

Approximately 3 years relevant experience gained working in proprietary trading or at a buy-side or sell-side financial institution. Core expertise working with equity and fixed income derivatives, in particular experience working with options. A working knowledge of (and interest in) broader asset classes (such as credit instruments and convertibles) and trading strategies. An advanced qualification (such as a Masters or equivalent) in Finance or a STEM-related subject. Excellent report writing, presentation, and communication skills. Basic knowledge of a programming language, such as Python, to support productivity. A calm and considered approach, particularly whilst working under pressure.
