Analyst, Market Risk

Role overview

Join a market risk function that helps shield the firm from unfavorable moves in global markets such as interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities, and equities. The team works alongside trading desks to measure, monitor, and manage risk, providing independent oversight across a broad range of products and activities while supporting long-term business growth.

Macquarie is a global financial services group active in 30 markets and backed by 57 years of continuous profitability. The organisation gives you room to shape a career with purpose and to contribute meaningful impact through your expertise.

What you will do

In this position, you will partner closely with trading teams across fixed income, currencies, and Asian energy markets to understand and challenge risks generated by trading activity. You will track and report daily risk measures to senior management, assess and approve new transactions and products, and help keep trading within the approved risk framework.

You will also help design trading limits, review complex and structured deals, and work with technology, operations, and support teams so that risk exposures are captured and reported correctly. Because this is part of a global group, you will gain wide exposure to financial markets and collaborate with colleagues across Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia.

What you bring

The role calls for strong analytical thinking and problem-solving ability, with sound judgement when evaluating complex market risks and making risk-based decisions. A genuine interest in global financial markets and the drivers behind movements in interest rates, foreign exchange, commodities, and equities is important.

You should be comfortable communicating with stakeholders, building working relationships, and engaging confidently with trading teams and senior leaders. The job also requires the ability to manage multiple priorities, stay effective under pressure, and balance detailed analysis with broader strategic goals. A further education background in finance, economics, mathematics, engineering, science, or another quantitative field is preferred.

These may include wellbeing leave, additional Flexi-Leave days, paid parental leave, transition leave, volunteer leave, donation matching, the option to buy extra annual leave, insurance cover, wellbeing credits, learning support, professional membership or subscription reimbursement, flexible working arrangements, and reimbursement for home office equipment.
