Equity Risk - Multi Strat - APAC

Equity Risk will sit within the global risk function of a multi‑strategy hedge fund, partnering closely with Portfolio Managers, Trading, and senior management to provide independent oversight and value‑added risk analysis across global equity strategies.

The role focuses on real‑time risk monitoring, portfolio construction oversight, stress testing, and drawdown management, while acting as a trusted sparring partner to investment teams. This is a front‑facing, judgement‑driven role, not a reporting or compliance‑only position.

• Provide independent risk oversight across global equity strategies, including long‑short, long‑only, sector‑focused, and thematic books
• Partner directly with Portfolio Managers to analyse position‑level, factor, sector, and regional risk exposures
• Monitor portfolio risk metrics including gross and net exposure, leverage, concentration, liquidity, beta, factor sensitivities, and drawdowns
• Conduct stress testing and scenario analysis to assess portfolio behaviour under historical and hypothetical market events
• Review new trade ideas and portfolio changes from a risk perspective, providing constructive challenge where appropriate
• Identify emerging risk concentrations and tail risks, escalating issues clearly and pragmatically
• Support firm‑wide risk processes including risk limits, breach monitoring, and risk governance forums
• Contribute to ongoing enhancement of risk models, analytics, and tooling, working closely with technology and data teams
• Produce concise, decision‑useful risk commentary for senior management and investment committees

• Strong understanding of equity markets, portfolio construction, and active risk management
• Experience covering multi‑strategy or multi‑PM environments is strongly preferred
• Deep familiarity with equity risk factors, including style, sector, regional, and volatility drivers
• Proven ability to engage credibly with senior Portfolio Managers and Traders
• Hands‑on experience with risk models, stress testing, and scenario analysis
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to translate complex risk into clear, actionable insights
