Job Description
This is an opportunity to join a highly respected alternative investment management platform operating at the intersection of real assets, complex capital structures, and distressed investment strategies. The firm forms part of an international group recognised as a market leader in the management and recovery of technically, structurally, and geographically complex real estate equity and debt investments on behalf of sophisticated third-party investors.
With a strong regulatory footprint, institutional mindset, and a collaborative culture, the organisation offers exposure to AIFM-regulated structures, multi-jurisdictional portfolios, and strategic decision-making at fund level. This is an environment where risk is not a back-office function, but a core driver of value, discipline, and long-term performance.
The Role
As Risk Officer, you will join the Risk Management function and work closely with senior leadership to ensure risk considerations are embedded into investment decisions, operations, and strategic planning. This role offers hands-on exposure across portfolio risk, regulatory oversight, and fund operations, with clear scope for professional growth.
Key Responsibilities
- Support the integration of risk considerations into company and fund strategies under the guidance of the Head of Risk Management.
- Monitor AIF investments to ensure alignment with regulatory frameworks, offering memoranda, and approved investment strategies.
- Identify, assess, and escalate breaches or deviations to senior management.
- Coordinate with internal teams and external counterparties to ensure daily operations comply with established risk policies.
- Monitor capital adequacy and liquidity levels, highlighting material risks and proposing mitigation actions.
- Assist in identifying, assessing, and reporting financial and non-financial risks, including operational risk.
- Support the preparation and review of regulatory risk reporting for the Company and its AIFs.
- Stay informed of local and EU regulatory developments and support implementation of regulatory updates.
- Build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders on risk-related matters.
- Contribute to business development initiatives by supporting risk-focused client discussions and materials.
Candidate Profile
- Degree in Risk Management, Finance, Accounting, Economics, or similar; or working towards a professional qualification (ACA, ACCA, CFA, or equivalent).
- Minimum 3 years’ relevant experience, with at least 1 year in a risk management function considered an advantage.
- Holder of CySEC Advanced Certification, or willingness to obtain it within the first two months.
- Solid understanding of risk management frameworks, methodologies, and tools.
- Exposure to financial modelling and/or AML is an advantage.
- Experience within an AIFM or AIF regulatory environment is highly desirable.
- Risk exposure to alternative investment strategies (e.g. real estate, private equity, distressed assets) is a strong plus.
- Able to work under pressure, manage deadlines, and handle multiple priorities.
- Proactive, hands-on, and collaborative, with strong organisational and interpersonal skills.
- Fluency in English and Greek, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint.
Why Apply?
This role offers the chance to grow within a sophisticated AIFM environment, gain exposure to complex investment strategies, and work alongside experienced professionals in a role that directly influences investment outcomes and regulatory integrity.
