Quantitative Risk Manager - #2188462

My client in the energy trading space is currently looking for a Quantitative Risk Manager. This role is based in Scotland so you'll need to be located in this area or open to relocation.

Core responsibilities:

• Lead, mentor and develop a team of quant risk analysts, setting priorities and raising the standard of the team’s work
• Build and enhance power models from scratch to measure and manage trading risk
• Quantify and monitor market risk exposures across the trading book
• Work closely with traders and senior stakeholders, turning complex risk analysis into clear, actionable insight
• Develop and automate risk analytics, tools and reporting to support the trading desk
• Challenge and strengthen the team’s modelling approach, contributing to the continued growth of its risk capability

Required profile and technical skills:

• Stakeholder communication: the ability to explain complex quantitative concepts clearly and influence traders and senior stakeholders
• Power modelling expertise: hands-on experience building power models from scratch, not just maintaining or tweaking existing ones
• Risk experience: a background in risk within an energy trading environment, with a strong understanding of how risk shapes trading decisions
• Technical depth: strong Python and SQL skills and a solid coding background, with the confidence to build and automate your own analytical tools
• Market knowledge: primarily power market experience, though LNG or gas exposure is also welcome
• Bonus: fundamental modelling experience, such as modelling supply, demand and market drivers to inform price views

Our client is flexible regarding salary so I'm keen to have a chat about what you may need!
