We’re hiring a Risk Manager to strengthen and scale our risk function across a fast-growing forex/CFD brokerage environment. You will own day-to-day market risk and client risk oversight, drive risk policy execution, and partner with Dealing, Compliance, Operations, Product, and Tech to ensure robust controls, clean flows, and a resilient risk framework.
This is a high-impact role for someone who can combine hands-on monitoring with strategic risk design, and who thrives in a high-tempo trading business.
Monitor real-time and end-of-day net exposure, concentration risk, and volatility risk across instruments (FX, metals, indices, crypto, etc.).
Define and maintain risk limits: exposure caps, concentration thresholds, margin buffers, and escalation rules.
Partner with Dealing to manage hedging logic (where relevant), execution quality, and abnormal market conditions.
Detect and investigate abusive or high-risk behaviors: latency arbitrage, bonus abuse, toxic flow, hedging abuse, spoofing-like patterns, scalping anomalies, etc.
Implement and optimize risk flags, segmentation rules, and client profiling (new vs mature, retail vs partners, risk scoring).
Recommend risk actions: leverage restrictions, instrument restrictions, margin adjustments, trading conditions review, or account measures aligned with internal policies.
Build/upgrade risk policies and SOPs across: leverage framework, margin calls/stop-out logic, negative balance protection (as applicable), instrument risk parameters, weekend/overnight risk, news risk.
Run risk committee cadence: dashboards, incident reports, action plans, KPI tracking.
Ensure proper audit trails and structured documentation of decisions and actions.
Own dashboards and reporting (MT4/MT5, CRM, BI tools): exposures, PnL drivers, client cohorts, exceptions, incidents.
Work with Tech/Product to automate monitoring, alerts, and rule-based controls.
Improve risk efficiency by reducing manual work through workflows and tooling.
Align with Compliance on AML-red-flags overlap and suspicious behaviors.
Support Sales/Partnerships with risk input for promotional structures, rebates, and bonus eligibility rules (ensuring clean flow and controlled downside).
Provide training to internal teams on risk best practices and escalation protocols.
3+ years in a Risk role within Forex/CFD brokerage, prop trading, liquidity provider, or similar trading environment.
Strong knowledge of:
Margin/leverage mechanics, exposure management, stop-out logic
Market microstructure basics, volatility regimes, news risk
Client behavior patterns and trading abuse typologies
Experience with MT4/MT5 (manager/admin reports) and practical risk monitoring.
High analytical capability (Excel advanced; BI tools a plus) and ability to translate data into decisions.
Clear communication and ability to operate with senior stakeholders under time pressure.
Experience implementing risk rules/alerts via BI, SQL, Python, or internal tooling.
Familiarity with liquidity/prime brokerage setups (A-Book/B-Book hybrid models).
Previous work in regulated environments (CySEC, MFSA, SCA, etc.).
Experience designing bonus/promotion risk controls and eligibility frameworks.
Real-time risk monitoring and escalation framework running smoothly with clear ownership.
Improved detection of toxic flow and abusive trading patterns with measurable reduction in losses.
Cleaner governance: documented risk decisions, better dashboards, clear KPIs, faster incident resolution.
Risk parameters optimized across instruments and client segments without harming healthy volume.
High-ownership role with direct impact on trading performance and risk resilience.
Multi-location flexibility (Lebanon/Jordan/Remote) with a global team.
Competitive compensation aligned to experience + performance upside.
Strong growth runway and autonomy to build best-in-class risk systems.
