Risk, credit and treasury hiring FAQs

What Heads of Risk ask us first.

How quickly will I see a first shortlist?

For a clear risk, credit or treasury brief, around two weeks, built from a power-only register rather than generic finance CVs.

What if the role is hard to fill in my home market?

The hardest hires blend power trading risk with structured products or asset-backed books. We map who already runs similar structures in utilities, trading houses and banks, then approach them directly.

What does good look like in Risk, Credit & Treasury hiring?

Risk, credit and treasury hires work when they read the stack like a trader, so that is who the search is built to find.
