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.

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

Job Description
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
Ready to be closer to the action? Apply now or reach out for a confidential discussion.
There is one catch - The client is looking for candidates to start asap - Candidates with notice periods of greater than 1 month need not apply.
