Job Description

About the Organization

We are a U.S.-headquartered global investment banking and capital markets enterprise supporting institutional asset management, structured finance, private credit, derivatives trading, and cross-border capital advisory services.

Operating in highly regulated and volatility-sensitive financial environments, our organization manages diversified exposure across credit risk, market risk, liquidity risk, operational risk, and regulatory compliance frameworks. With multi-billion-dollar transactional flows and institutional counterparties, disciplined enterprise risk governance is central to capital preservation and regulatory credibility.

We are seeking a strategic Director of Risk Management to lead enterprise-wide risk architecture, exposure modeling, regulatory alignment, and mitigation governance, fully remote within the United States.

This is not a compliance monitoring role. This is an enterprise capital protection mandate.
