Head of Risk Management

In this role, your primary function will be to lead a group of leaders, each responsible for a specific sub-team or distinct area of risk. You will be accountable for managing and developing DC’s Risk Management function in alignment with our overall risk framework and risk appetite — ensuring we can proactively assess the company’s risk exposure and recommend appropriate actions to Senior Leadership.

More specifically, your responsibilities include:

• ensuring the daily management of the Risk Management function, including reporting and monitoring of risk-related areas
• overseeing the mandate framework and issuance of mandates, as well as integrating risk management policies, procedures, and compliance requests across the company
• supporting the CFO and Head of Finance & Risk Management in setting the strategic direction and ambitions for the Risk Management function
• contributing to assessments of company activities and participating in recommendations to Senior Leadership

You will join our Risk Management team, where we identify, assess, control, monitor, review, and report on all risk types across products and markets on a daily basis — as punctually as we trade. This work is essential both for DC and for our stakeholders.

We are a team of 35 specialists and experts from diverse backgrounds including economics, mathematical finance, business, and law. We are analytical, curious, and reflective, always striving to support and protect the business. Our approach is solution-oriented — we aim to find the best way forward for any problem or process.

As you will be working closely with leaders across the business, we imagine you thrive in setting strategic direction, managing multifunctional units, and engaging with a broad set of stakeholders. You are motivated by balancing the role of guardian with that of trusted business partner.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

• take a holistic approach, with an eye for outright risks while also considering other relevant factors in your analyses
• maintain a positive, team-oriented mindset: you support the team to get the job done
