Our risk team operates closely with the trading and technology teams to manage the inherent risks in IMC’s trading strategies across various products and markets. We are looking for someone who can bring risk management expertise with a critical, quantitative, and proactive hands-on approach. It will be your challenge to support the assessment and management of market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks. To excel in this role, you will use your experience, analytical skills, and technical ability to add value — not bureaucracy — to the business.

This includes managing risk related to short-term and long-term trading positions, exposure to renewable generation forecasts, market liquidity constraints, and intraday price volatility.

Your core responsibilities:

• Assist in managing the day-to-day risk management functions, including monitoring and analysing market, credit, liquidity, and operational risks
• Utilise Python-based tools and libraries for stress testing, scenario analysis, and to contribute to local risk management tooling
• Develop and enhance real-time risk monitoring and reporting tools, ensuring robustness and high quality of technical solutions
• Ensure compliance with regulatory requirements and internal risk management policies
• Analyse financial and energy market developments; help build and refine risk methodologies tailored to energy trading strategies

Your skills and experience:

• 2–5 years of professional experience in financial or energy market risk management with a strong quantitative and technical background
• Experience in FX, commodity, or energy trading, across OTC and exchange-traded markets
• Relevant energy market knowledge, understanding position limits, REMIT, EMIR, or MiFID II compliance are plus"
• Technical proficiency in a programming language for risk analysis (Python, MATLAB, or R)
• Strong analytical skills and creative problem-solving ability
• A proactive attitude and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment
