• Anchorage Digital is looking for a Quantitative Financial Risk Manager to join Global Risk Management. In this role, you will own the development of quantitative analysis tools that power our risk management capabilities across credit, market, and liquidity risk.
• This is a high-impact, hands-on quantitative role where you will build scalable analytics infrastructure, run real-time analysis when the business needs answers fast, and stress test portfolios under a range of scenarios. You will work at the intersection of financial theory, data science, and engineering. If you thrive in ambiguity, are relently curious, and want to shape how a leading digital asset institution manages risk, this role is for you.
• People make this organization, and in this role, it is your mission to cultivate and contribute to a culture of risk management, continuous improvement, and strategic innovation. A healthy outcome is a business that is both agile and resilient, capable of navigating the complexities of the crypto market while achieving its strategic goals.

Technical Skills:

• Design, build, and maintain quantitative analysis tools for credit, market, and liquidity risk assessment
• Build scalable analytics pipelines in Python to automate reporting, data transformation, and real-time risk monitoring
• Execute portfolio margin stress tests and scenario analysis under tight timelines, delivering actionable insights to stakeholders

Complexity and Impact of Work:

• Lead end-to-end development of quantitative analysis tools from problem definition through production deployment with minimal oversight
• Run ad-hoc real-time analysis when the business needs answers fast and deliver under pressure
• Navigate ambiguous risk problems by selecting appropriate quantitative methods and articulating trade-offs to stakeholders
• Break down large projects into manageable workstreams, accurately estimate scope, and deliver on commitments

Organizational Knowledge:

• Collaborate closely with Trading, Sales, Compliance, Treasury, and Operations to ensure risk analysis and tools are embedded in business decisions
• Monitor industry trends, regulatory developments, and emerging best practices in quantitative risk management
• Sharing insights across teams to ensure broad understanding and adoption

Communication and Influence:

• Translate complex quantitative concepts into clear, actionable insights for technical and non-technical audiences
• Mentor junior team members on quantitative methods, analytics tooling, and professional development
• Build relationships across teams to drive adoption of risk frameworks and influence how the organization thinks about risk

You may be a fit for this role if you have:

• 8+ years of experience in quantitative finance, financial risk management, or a related quantitative discipline
• Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in a quantitative field
• Proven track record of building quantitative analysis tools for risk management (credit, market, liquidity risk)
• You ask questions, dig into the data, and proactively explore new angles; you're not satisfied with surface-level answers
• Deep expertise in risk monitoring and reporting, including experience building or operating real-time risk dashboards and producing executive-level risk reports
• Experience with portfolio stress testing and scenario analysis in a professional setting
• Experience working with large datasets and analytical tools to support risk analysis
• Experience with regulators and regulatory exams
• You drive initiatives independently, proactively identify and solve problems, and take accountability for results

Although not a requirement, bonus points if:

• You have experience with digital assets, crypto, or blockchain-related financial products
• You have an understanding of operational risk and how it intersects with credit, market, and liquidity risk
• You were emotionally moved by the soundtrack to Hamilton, which chronicles the founding of a new financial system. :)
