Market Risk Manager

We are looking for a Market Risk Manager to lead and strengthen market risk management.

You will help set up Coinhako's risk management function, including developing our risk policies, procedures and limits as the business grows. You will work closely with Trading, Finance, Compliance and Technology, and share risk insights with senior management and the Risk Committee. You will build a robust, scalable risk framework.

The role covers a wide range of products, including spot, OTC, derivatives, structured products, Earn, market making and custody, as well as new business lines as they launch.

• Exposure monitoring: Monitor pre-funding, settlement and concentration risk across venues, as well as collateral and margin positions.

Market risk management

• Position monitoring and analysis: Monitor, analyse and report on positions and trading P&L, and assess how market volatility affects the book.
• Risk limit management: Review and monitor usage of the Group's market risk limits, such as VaR and stress test limits, to keep activity within approved boundaries.

Risk governance

• Product risk ratings: Review risk ratings for digital asset products, and develop and update the risk rating methodology for virtual asset products.

• Board and regulatory reporting: Help prepare materials for the Board, the Risk Committee and regulators, including risk inputs for MAS capital requirements.
