Role Overview

The Risk Manager is the senior hands-on risk practitioner supporting the Head of Risk for the RCH and the RIE. The role carries the analytical and operational weight of the risk function for both entities: building and running the methodologies behind credit, market, liquidity, counterparty, operational and technology risk, and converting them into the frameworks, models, and reports the Head of Risk presents to governance and regulators.

This is the senior hire in the build-out of a dedicated risk capability for the ADGM entities, reflecting the firm's regulatory commitments on risk substance: FSRA engagement has made dedicated senior risk capacity an explicit supervisory expectation. The Risk Manager is the person who turns that expectation into working control.

The role is personally accountable to the Head of Risk.

Responsibilities

• Policy and regulatory framework:Draft, maintain and operationalise the risk policy suite across the RIE and RCH, including Risk Management Framework, Credit Policy and Procedures, Margin Policy, Collateral Policy, Stress Testing Policy, and related standards. Translate FSRA rulebook

• Clear, structured written and verbal communication and be able to produce decision-ready papers, regulatory submissions, and model documentation; comfortable presenting to senior management.

• Naturally curious about financial markets, digital assets, market structure, and emerging risk themes.
• Based in Abu Dhabi; presence at ADGM premises as required.
