The listing
Role Overview
We are looking for a Risk Analyst to oversee market and client risk within our forex/CFD brokerage environment. The role will focus on real-time exposure monitoring, trading risk analysis, client behaviour, risk controls and collaboration with the Dealing Desk and other key teams.
Key Responsibilities
Monitor real-time and end-of-day exposure across FX, metals, indices, crypto and other trading instruments.
Analyse net exposure, concentration risk, volatility risk and trading portfolio performance.
Investigate and identify abusive or high-risk trading behaviours, including latency arbitrage, toxic flow, bonus abuse and scalping anomalies.
Develop and maintain risk flags, client segmentation and risk scoring to identify high-risk accounts and trading patterns.
Define and monitor leverage limits, margin requirements, exposure thresholds and other risk parameters.
Work closely with the Dealing Desk on hedging strategies, execution risks and abnormal market conditions.
Prepare daily exposure reports, risk dashboards and trading incident analysis for management.
Recommend and implement appropriate risk mitigation actions, including leverage restrictions, margin adjustments and trading condition changes.
Maintain and improve risk policies, procedures, controls, and escalation processes.
Work with Compliance, Operations and Technology teams to strengthen risk monitoring and automate risk controls where possible.
3+ years of risk management experience within a Forex/CFD brokerage, prop trading, liquidity provider or similar trading environment.
Strong practical knowledge of market risk, client risk, exposure management, leverage, margin and stop-out mechanisms.
Hands-on experience with MT4/MT5 and trading/risk monitoring.
Strong understanding of trading behaviour and abuse patterns, including toxic flow, latency arbitrage, bonus abuse and scalping.
Strong analytical skills with advanced Excel; experience with BI tools, SQL, Python or other risk/analytics tools is an advantage.
Ability to analyse large amounts of trading data and translate findings into clear risk decisions and actions.
Strong communication skills and the ability to work with senior stakeholders in a fast-paced trading environment.
Nice-to-Have
Experience implementing risk rules/alerts via BI, SQL, Python, or internal tooling.
Familiarity with liquidity/prime brokerage setups (A-Book/B-Book hybrid models).
Previous work in regulated environments (CySEC, MFSA, SCA, etc.).
Experience designing bonus/promotion risk controls and eligibility frameworks.
What Success Looks Like (90–120 Days)
Real-time risk monitoring and escalation framework running smoothly with clear ownership.
Improved detection of toxic flow and abusive trading patterns with measurable reduction in losses.
Cleaner governance: documented risk decisions, better dashboards, clear KPIs, faster incident resolution.
Risk parameters optimized across instruments and client segments without harming healthy volume.
What We Offer
High-ownership role with direct impact on trading performance and risk resilience.
Remote position with a global team.
Strong growth runway and autonomy to build best-in-class risk systems.
