Job Description
Market Risk Analyst 

Are you a data-driven thinker who thrives at the intersection of markets, analytics, and strategy?
My client is looking for a Market Risk Analyst to help protect a global trading business from external market movements — from shifts in oil prices and FX rates to changes in interest rates and volatility.

This position requires the individual to monitor the risk embedded into the company portfolio and make sure it stays within the company's risk appetite. 

What You'll Do

  • Identify, measure, and monitor market risks across global oil trading portfolios.

  • Build and maintain risk exposure reports and dashboards to show real-time sensitivities and potential impacts.

  • Run stress tests and scenario analyses 

  • Use Python for quantitative modelling and Power BI/Tableau to visualise insights.

  • Work closely with traders and senior management to ensure market exposures stay within approved risk limits.

  • Develop predictive models to assess risk, volatility, and Value-at-Risk (VaR).

  • Design risk reports to monitor some key identified risks and adapt the monitoring as the market dynamics change

  • Own the coordination, implementation, evolution and communication of the risk reports

  • Define and monitor predictive scenarios for portfolio risk to give a better intuition to management and desk on the positioning as market conditions evolve

Required Skills

  • A strong academic foundation in Quantitative Finance, Financial Engineering, Economics, or related fields.

  • Advanced analytical and coding skills (Python, SQL, or R).

  • Experience in market or quantitative risk analysis — ideally within energy, commodities, trading, or financial markets.

  • The ability to translate complex data into actionable insights that drive strategic decisions.

If you're curious, analytical, and passionate about connecting numbers with market realities — this is your chance to make a real impact in a high-performance, global trading environment.
