Securitized Products Market Risk Senior Vice President

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager within Market Risk with deep expertise in U.S. structured products, including ABS, MBS, CMBS and related securitized products. The role requires a strong understanding of the U.S. securitized-products market and the ability to independently assess market risk, pricing and valuation dynamics across complex portfolios. This is a senior technical and risk-management position requiring sound judgment, market expertise and the ability to challenge trading and valuation assumptions from an independent Market Risk perspective.

What You Will Do

Provide independent Market Risk oversight of structured-product portfolios, with particular focus on ABS, MBS, CMBS and other securitized or mortgage-related instruments. Monitor and assess market risk exposures across the portfolio, including key sensitivities, spread risk, interest-rate risk, volatility risk, basis risk and other relevant risk drivers. Perform rigorous analysis of valuation and pricing, independently assessing whether market prices, model outputs and valuation assumptions appropriately reflect prevailing market conditions and underlying risk characteristics. Challenge Front Office pricing and valuation methodologies where appropriate, using market data, comparable instruments, model analysis and professional judgment.

This role requires 10+ years of relevant professional experience in Market Risk, Trading Risk, Valuation, Product Control or a closely related function within fixed income or structured products, with at least 5–7 years of direct experience covering U.S. securitized products including ABS, MBS and CMBS. Candidates should have deep expertise in ABS, MBS and CMBS, strong valuation and pricing expertise, and hands-on experience using Numerix and/or Polypaths. The position offers a base salary range of $190,000 to $210,000 and eligibility for a discretionary bonus and a generous employee benefits package.
