Our client is a leading superannuation fund committed to delivering exceptional financial outcomes for members. With a strong focus on compliance, innovation, and operational excellence, the organisation values collaboration and integrity. This role will be covering a maternity leave vacancy.

As Senior Investment Risk Analyst, you'll work closely with the Head of Investment Risk to enhance risk oversight across a complex, multi-asset portfolio spanning listed equities, fixed income, unlisted assets, and alternatives. You'll bring analytical rigour and commercial insight to strengthen the investment risk framework, support portfolio construction, and deliver meaningful risk intelligence to the investment team and committees.

Key Responsibilities

  • Strengthen the market risk framework and analytics across all asset classes.
  • Drive model and data governance — including validation, benchmarking, and back-testing.
  • Partner with portfolio managers to assess risk-return outcomes of investment and allocation decisions.
  • Monitor exposures, explain key risk drivers, and deliver clear, actionable reporting.
  • Support risk budgeting, scenario analysis, and liquidity reviews.
  • Contribute to the identification of emerging investment risks and new strategy assessments.
  • Gain exposure to derivatives, credit, counterparty, and liquidity risk oversight.

About You

  • 3-5 years' experience in investment risk, portfolio analytics, or asset consulting within a fund, asset manager, or investment bank.
  • Solid understanding of key risk metrics (VaR, tracking error, Sharpe ratio, alpha/beta, volatility).
  • Broad knowledge of asset classes and derivatives.
  • Tertiary qualifications in finance, economics, mathematics, or engineering; CFA/FRM desirable.
  • Advanced Excel skills; Power BI, SQL, or Python experience a plus.
  • Experience with risk systems (e.g. FactSet, MSCI, RiskMetrics, Axioma, Bloomberg) highly regarded.
  • Self-starter with strong analytical curiosity, collaboration skills, and a desire to improve systems and insight.
