IMC is looking for an Experienced Risk Manager to join our Chicago Risk team, focusing primarily on Delta One business. Risk at IMC is deeply integrated with trading—we don't operate as a separate control function. Instead, we work sideby-side with traders and technology teams to understand risk, challenge assumptions, and help build the frameworks that support better trading decisions. Our team has a broad mandate across market, credit, capital, and operational risk. Rather than assigning rigid responsibilities, we encourage people to contribute wherever they can have the greatest impact. You'll collaborate daily with traders, quantitative researchers, and software engineers while helping shape the firm's approach to risk across existing and emerging trading strategies. This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative team with significant visibility across the business, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to influence both day-to-day trading decisions and the long-term evolution of IMC's risk framework. 
 
 
Your Core Responsibilities: 

  • Partner closely with traders to identify, monitor, and manage risk across a wide range of trading strategies 

  • Monitor and analyze market, credit, capital, and operational risks across IMC's portfolios

  • Develop and enhance risk methodologies for products including equities, ETFs, futures, and other exchange-traded instruments 

  • Analyze concentration risk, tail-event scenarios, and other portfolio-level exposures to improve risk visibility and decision-making 

  • Build and enhance quantitative risk tools, reporting, and monitoring frameworks using Python 

  • Partner with software engineering teams to improve risk infrastructure and automate risk workflows 

  • Work closely with traders to evaluate new strategies, products, and markets while ensuring appropriate risk controls are in place

  • Challenge existing processes and propose new frameworks that improve how IMC understands and manages risk

      

Your Skills and Experience: 

  • 5+ years of experience in financial risk management, quantitative risk, or a related front-office risk function

  • Experience supporting exchange-traded products such as equities, ETFs, futures, or other linear products

  • Familiarity with Delta One trading strategies

  • Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills  

  • Proficiency in Python for data analysis, risk analytics, or automation 

  • Working knowledge of SQL is preferred

  • Ability to communicate complex quantitative concepts to traders, engineers, and business stakeholders

  • Comfortable working in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment with significant ownership and autonomy

  • FINRA SIE and Series 57, or willingness to obtain them after joining IMC

 
Please note that immigration sponsorship is not offered for this specific opening.
