SUMMARY
GCM's Investments Risk team is seeking an experienced professional to help shape investment and portfolio decisions across the firm's hedge fund activity, using quantitative risk analysis — including alpha decomposition, stress testing, and optimization — to inform manager evaluation, position sizing, and asset allocation. This person will build and apply the risk tools and analytics underlying that work, and will contribute to both internal risk oversight and external investor reporting.
You'd be joining an established Investments Risk team that has already built out the firm's core proprietary risk and attribution models, optimization frameworks, alpha analysis, and client reporting infrastructure. This isn't a build-from-scratch mandate, but there is genuine room to evolve, expand, and re-architect that infrastructure as the platform and strategies evolve.
Much of the work is well-defined, but not all of it; at times that means identifying problems worth solving on one's own initiative, and at other times it means addressing a problem that has been identified but lacks a clear roadmap for resolution. In both cases, the role carries real autonomy in how issues are approached, rather than simply executing against a predefined plan. This is an asset for someone with strong initiative and a self-starter mentality, and a poor fit for someone who prefers fully specified assignments.
As an onsite/hybrid employee, you are expected to be in the office on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursday.
