About the Team

The Group Risk function provides independent, second-line oversight of risk across the Group's portfolio of entities. This role sits within that function, focused on the risk oversight of the Company's Trading Venue segment.

About the Opportunity

This is a unique opportunity to build and own the risk function for a multi-asset-class Trading Venue — spanning a broad range of financial instruments — with a DLT overlay. You will be responsible for identifying, assessing and managing the risks specific to operating a Trading Venue, including market conduct, participant risk, systems and controls, and the distinct operational and settlement risks introduced by the DLT infrastructure. You will hold PQ (Approved Person) status with the MFSA and act as the venue's dedicated point of accountability for risk matters.

What You'll Be Doing

• Trading Venue Risk Framework: Design, implement and maintain a risk management framework specific to the Trading Venue segment, covering market, operational, conduct and technology risk

• Market Surveillance Oversight: Independently assess the effectiveness of the venue's market surveillance arrangements in identifying rule infringements, disorderly trading conditions, market abuse indicators and system disruptions

• Participant Risk Assessment: Assess prospective and existing members'/participants' trading ability and financial resource adequacy relative to the venue's settlement arrangements, working alongside Compliance's onboarding and fit-and-proper due diligence

• Systems and Controls Oversight: Independently assess the adequacy of the venue's systems and controls framework, including algorithmic trading resilience, capacity and technology risk
