ABOUT YOUR TEAM
The Risk Analytics team is responsible for producing advanced analytics and providing quantitative insight to support valuation, pricing, and risk assessment activities across Public Markets portfolios.
Risk Analytics plays a critical role in ensuring fair market valuation of financial instruments, developing and maintaining analytical tools and methodologies, and supporting disciplined monitoring of portfolio risk exposures. The team partners closely with Asset class stakeholders, Risk, and Technology teams to deliver analytics that support decision making, regulatory compliance, model governance, and the integrity of valuation and risk outputs across the Total Fund.
ABOUT YOUR ROLE
As a Senior Analyst, Risk Analytics
, you will be a hands-on contributor within this team, combining strong operational execution with a growing financial engineering mindset. Your work will span the full analytics lifecycle: helping develop and internalize sound risk analytics, running and enhancing quantitative pipelines, and ensuring efficient and optimized quantitative processes that produce reliable outputs across asset classes.
You will work closely with senior team members, Risk stakeholders, and Technology partners to maintain data quality throughout the analytics chain, support the improvement of risk methodologies and deliver reporting outputs that support Total Fund decision-making. While daily production rigor is central to the role, you will also be expected to contribute a financial engineering perspective — translating analytical requirements into implementable solutions, assessing the inputs and assumptions that drive risk measures, and supporting the evolution of the team's quantitative frameworks.
The role demands operational discipline, strong technical execution in SQL and Python, and the ability to work reliably within evolving data environments.
Key responsibilities:
Run and monitor daily risk analytics production processes - ensuring risk exposures, sensitivities, stress metrics, and decompositions are produced accurately and delivered on time
Contribute to the development and internalization of risk analytics, help translate analytical requirements into clear specifications, validation criteria, and implementable solutions that Risk Analytics delivery teams and technology partners can act on
Support the review and refinement of risk methodologies and measures, including clarity on key inputs, assumptions, and analytical dependencies — ensuring outputs are consistent and explainable
Investigate and resolve production issues: diagnose data breaks, pipeline failures, and anomalous outputs; apply fixes and escalate when needed
Validate daily data inputs and outputs across the analytics chain; flag and remediate data quality issues before they reach downstream consumers
Maintain and update risk reports and dashboards (Power BI or equivalent) to reflect current portfolio positions and methodological parameters
Execute data quality controls (accuracy, completeness, consistency, timeliness) as part of the daily production cycle
Implement incremental enhancements to existing analytics pipelines in SQL and Python — improving reliability, performance, or coverage in alignment with the team's target architecture.
Document production processes, methodological decisions, known issues, and remediation steps to support operational continuity and audit readiness
