Risk Manager

Risk, without the fund-factory feeling

We are an independent AIFM boutique, founded by a seasoned real estate asset manager and now scaling up as a third-party specialised AIFM. That means small team, real ownership, and a front-row seat on every fund we manage.

If you are ambitious, at a turning point in your career where you seek high-impact challenges, and want to grow your risk management expertise exponentially, look no further. Working across a wide array of distinct fund strategies within a leading third-party AIFM will fast-track your professional growth like nowhere else.

What you'll do

Reporting directly to the Conducting Officers, you will manage and oversee the risk profile of complex Private Equity, Fixed Income, Real Estate and Fund of Funds portfolios.

This is not a purely BAU risk role: we are looking for someone who can run the day-to-day function while continuously challenging how risk management is done, improving processes and helping us transform the function through technology, automation and AI.

• Act as the risk subject-matter expert in the onboarding of new funds, including initial due diligence.

• Identify, measure and monitor market, credit, liquidity, operational and ESG risks across the funds under management.

• Analyse and challenge complex risk models, and translate that analysis into concrete risk decisions and strategies.

• Contribute to the assessment of investment and divestment opportunities.

• Own and continuously improve our risk management processes, challenging existing practices where there is a better, simpler or more effective way of working.

• Identify opportunities to automate risk monitoring, analysis and reporting, and help design and implement practical solutions using AI and other technologies.

• Help transform the risk function over time, reducing manual work, improving the quality and speed of analysis, and creating more scalable processes as the AIFM grows.

• Prepare regular and ad-hoc risk reports for the Conducting Officers and the Board of Managers, flagging any deviation from the risk framework.

• Contribute to the drafting and updating of the AIFM's policies and procedures in line with regulatory requirements.

• Act as a key autonomous point of contact, leading direct discussions and driving relationships with clients and fund service providers.

• Work closely with the valuation and portfolio management teams, collaborating on portfolio oversight and risk strategies.

• Stay on top of the economy, global markets and the fund regulatory environment through continuous research.

Who you are

• You have more than 5 years’ experience in Risk Management within the alternative investment industry (ideally in Real Estate, Private Equity or Fixed Income).

• You bring solid technical knowledge of risk management and regulatory frameworks, with a deep working understanding of the Luxembourg fund industry and AIFMD.

• You are as interested in improving how risk management is performed as you are in performing the analysis itself. You challenge inefficient processes, look for better ways of working and are comfortable driving change.

• You already use AI and automation in your own work and are interested in applying them practically within a risk function. Ideally, you have already used technology to automate or improve risk analysis, monitoring, reporting or other control processes.

• You are analytical, numerate, and genuinely good at solving problems.

• You read professional agreements, fund documentation and economic briefs without flinching.

• You communicate clearly, lead client-facing discussions with confidence, and collaborate effectively with internal valuation and portfolio management teams.

• You are detail-oriented and manage your time well.

• You are fluent in English.

• You have an entrepreneurial mindset and take initiative.

Nice to have

• Experience with or appetite for sustainable investment.

• French or German.

What we offer

• 360° exposure to the alternative fund industry, with a real scope of responsibility from day one.

• A young, dynamic team working with international, entrepreneurial clients and counterparties.

• An evolving remuneration package that directly reflects your impact and achievements.
