Risk Management Intern

Risk Management Team | Singapore

About this role

We're in search of an internship candidate with interest in front-office or trading risk management settings at a buy-side firm. This role will sit within the Risk Management team and help risk managers with all perspectives of their day to day works. It is a rare opportunity for someone who has ambition to work in the hedge fund or institutional investment industry to learn first-hand financial products knowledge and gain true experience of working in finance.

Although no previous work experience is required, it is expected that the role will receive intense trainings on the job from both Equity and FICC sides, for example, helping risk managers with data analysis, report generation, risk and market monitoring and tool development. The role will have wide range of exposure to almost all liquidity financial products and various hedge funds strategies. It suits for someone with strong math and tech background and wish to excel in a fast-pacing work environment. It is not too remote possibility that this role becomes permanent after the contractual period if conditions are met.
