  • Experience developing or enhancing public markets risk frameworks, methodologies and monitoring approaches.
  • An understanding of the role of Listed Equities within large, diversified multi-asset institutional portfolios.
  • The ability to identify emerging risks and translate complex analysis into clear, actionable insights.
  • Experience preparing investment reviews, risk opinions and governance materials for senior executives, Investment Committees or Boards.
  • Exceptional analytical, critical-thinking and judgement skills.
