# About the RoleTHE COMPANY Wellington Management offers comprehensive investment management capabilities that span nearly all segments of the global capital markets. Our investment solutions, tailored to the unique return and risk objectives of institutional clients in more than 60 countries, draw on a robust body of proprietary research and a collaborative culture that encourages independent thought and healthy debate. As a private partnership, we believe our ownership structure fosters a long-term view that aligns our perspectives with those of our clients.

THE POSITION The Risk Analyst, Fixed Income position is part of the  global investment risk function for Wellington and sits within the firm’s Global Risk and Performance Strategy (GPS) department. The primary focus of GPS is leading Wellington Management’s portfolio oversight, risk measurement, and security analytics processes across our broad multi-asset, hedge fund, equity, fixed income and research strategies. The Risk Analyst will work with our fixed income investment teams across the Americas, Europe and Asia, helping them use quantitative tools to inform their portfolio construction and investment processes.

The Risk Analyst will engage closely with Risk Strategists and the portfolio teams they cover to better understand their investment processes and the investment risks inherent to those processes. A successful Risk Analyst will leverage Wellington’s risk modeling and analysis platform to enhance the engagement of the Risk Strategists with the Portfolio Management teams. They will also continually work to enhance the risk platform itself, to better meet the evolving needs of investors.

The Risk Analyst will create or enhance clear, engaging reporting that emphasizes material portfolio risk sources from a variety of different angles, while ensuring that reporting is both accurate and relevant to the portfolio processes covered. Rapid response times and quick turnarounds commensurate to the dynamic demands of the investors are important. The Risk Analyst should be sufficiently confident in their analyses to interpret the outputs of their work, explaining or defending their conclusions within the Risk Management team or to the investment teams as appropriate.

Risk Analysts are expected to be vocal, self-starting members of the team, challenging colleagues and independently reviewing risk-related data in their areas to highlight potential areas of concern or focus to Risk Strategists for further review and potential follow-up.

The Risk Analyst role requires a strong knowledge of fixed income risk analysis gained from meaningful experience in institutional investment management and risk management. Prior experience focused on structured or corporate credit risk would be considered favorably.  They should be continually apprised of investment trends to determine the risk implications and communicate the resulting risks within the group. The successful candidate will bring technical skill and knowledge, be adept at building collaborative working relationships with colleagues, and take proactive ownership for the quality of their work.  

Risk analysts are expected to be comfortable designing and executing appropriate risk reports, dashboards, and other quantitative assessments of risk positioning in fixed income accounts.
