Senior Investment Risk Manager – Fixed Income | Leading Buy-Side Firm | Central London

Are you an experienced investment risk professional ready to take on a more dynamic, business-focused role?

We are working with a highly regarded buy-side investment firm based in Central London that is looking to hire a Senior Investment Risk Manager to join their high-performing team.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role that sits within the business itself , rather than a siloed or independent risk function — giving you direct exposure to decision-making and strategy.

In this role, you’ll be embedded with the Portfolio Management team , acting as a strategic partner rather than just a control function. Your primary focus will be on Fixed Income strategies, covering a diverse and complex range of instruments. You’ll play a pivotal role in identifying, assessing, and communicating investment risk – with a clear mandate to add value rather than simply monitor risk.

This position is ideal for a risk professional who understands markets, speaks the same language as PMs, and is confident working in a high-accountability, front-office-facing environment. You’ll be expected to bring critical thinking, insight, and a proactive approach to managing risk – helping the business make informed decisions rather than limiting them.

Key responsibilities include:

• Working closely with Portfolio Managers to assess and explain risk across fixed income portfolios
• Providing meaningful, forward-looking risk analysis that influences investment decisions
• Monitoring key risk exposures and performance drivers
• Building and enhancing tools, models, and frameworks for effective risk oversight
• Participating in investment committees and helping shape portfolio construction discussions

Ideal candidate profile:

• Strong experience in investment risk within a buy-side or asset management environment
• Deep understanding of Fixed Income instruments, portfolio construction, and market risk dynamics
• Strong analytical skills and the ability to communicate complex risks in a clear and commercial way
• Comfortable working in a collaborative, fast-paced investment environment

This is more than a typical risk role – it’s a chance to make your mark in a business where risk is seen as a core part of the investment process, not an afterthought.

Location: Central London

Position: Senior Investment Risk Analyst – Fixed Income

Sector: Buy-Side / Asset Management

A top-tier buy-side firm, known for its strength in Fixed Income, is looking to add a junior Investment Risk Analyst to their high-performing team.

Why this role?

• Work with the best: Join a team led by exceptional talent — including a hiring manager who is genuinely committed to developing junior talent. A brilliant opportunity to learn, grow, and progress.

• Freedom to focus on impact: Routine reporting is handled by a separate team, freeing you up to spend more time partnering with Portfolio Managers and delivering insight.
• Excellent culture: Collaborative, stable, and forward-thinking — the team is known for its supportive and positive working environment.

What you’ll be doing:

• Day-to-day risk management of a set of portfolios
• Direct support to Portfolio Managers
• Work alongside the Global Head of Investment Risk
• Use a robust platform of analytical tools to generate insight

What we're looking for:

• Experience as an Investment Risk Analyst
• Solid understanding of Fixed Income instruments
• Ability to code in Python
• Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
