About the Team

Global Risk Management sits at the center of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, providing independent oversight and governance for a global platform with over USD 3 trillion in assets under supervision across public and private markets, funds, and separately managed accounts. Our mandate is to support sustainable growth by helping the business take risk thoughtfully—bringing transparency to portfolio exposures, stress and liquidity dynamics, counterparty and operational risks, and the broader control environment. We partner closely with portfolio management, trading, and control functions such as Legal, Compliance, and Firm-wide Risk to strengthen frameworks, improve monitoring and reporting, meet regulatory obligations, and continuously evolve our risk practices in line with a fast-changing market and product landscape.

Responsibilities

• Drive enhancements to Multi-Asset risk capabilities and tooling (stress/scenario, factor & liquidity analytics, attribution) in partnership with Engineering and Technology.
• Deliver risk and performance insights for MAS funds and OCIO mandates (objectives, benchmarks, and peers), and lead regular review discussions with investment teams.
• Oversee daily/weekly monitoring of key portfolio risks and ensure adherence to the independent risk governance framework.
• Provide clear, decision-useful risk reporting to divisional and risk leadership on MAS business exposures and emerging themes.

Requirements

• 10+ years of relevant experience in buy-side risk management, ideally supporting multi-asset strategies and/or solutions platforms.
• Demonstrated ability to partner with senior investment stakeholders (CIOs/PMs) and to influence decisions through independent, well-reasoned risk perspectives.
• Strong understanding of cross-asset market dynamics, correlations, and key risk drivers; experience with factor frameworks and multi-asset portfolio construction concepts.
• Hands-on knowledge of core risk and performance analytics (e.g., VaR, stress/scenario analysis, tracking error, liquidity risk, risk/return attribution).
• Experience producing clear, decision-useful reporting for senior leadership and participating in governance forums/committees.
• Proven people leadership skills (or clear leadership potential): coaching, developing talent, setting priorities, and driving high-quality execution.
• Strong quantitative and data skills; working knowledge of analytics/programming tools (e.g., Python) and comfort partnering with Engineering/Technology to deliver scalable improvements.
• Highly organized, intellectually curious, and proactive, with excellent written and verbal communication skills.
