Climate Risk Analytics Manager

Manager – Climate Risk Analytics

My client, a tier 1 global bank are looking for a skilled quant finance professional to play a central role in shaping how climate-related financial risks are quantified and managed within a global trading business.

This role is ideal for someone with a background in climate science and strong quantitative skills who’s ready to apply their expertise in a fast-paced, market-facing environment.

As the lead climate risk modeller for the trading book, you’ll be responsible for developing the tools and frameworks that help identify and assess climate-driven risk exposures. Your work will guide both internal decision-making and regulatory compliance—positioning you at the intersection of science, finance, and risk management.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain climate risk models for traded portfolios, covering areas such as Value-at-Risk (VaR), Stressed VaR, and Incremental Risk Capital (IRC).
• Contribute to the development of a globally consistent approach to climate risk methodology, ensuring models align with both business needs and regulatory standards.
• Take ownership of projects, managing timelines, resources, and stakeholder engagement across risk, business, and external data providers.
• Serve as the internal expert on climate risk, able to clearly explain complex modelling concepts to non-technical audiences, including trading desks and regulators.
• Produce clear, comprehensive documentation to support transparency and model governance.

What you’ll bring:

• A degree in a technical or quantitative field such as Climate Science, Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or Computer Science.
• Proven experience in developing or applying climate models within a scientific or financial context.
• Solid understanding of market risk principles and trading book dynamics.
• Strong programming skills, especially in Python.
• Experience with stress testing or capital modelling frameworks is a plus.

Why this role?

This is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to a critical and evolving area of risk management. You’ll be joining a team that values analytical depth, practical application, and open collaboration, while helping a major institution prepare for the financial implications of climate change
