Prime Brokerage Liquidity Risk Manager
Coinbase
Ready to be pushed beyond what you think you’re capable of?
At Coinbase, our mission is to increase economic freedom in the world. It’s a massive, ambitious opportunity that demands the best of us, every day, as we build the emerging onchain platform — and with it, the future global financial system.
To achieve our mission, we’re seeking a very specific candidate. We want someone who is passionate about our mission and who believes in the power of crypto and blockchain technology to update the financial system. We want someone who is eager to leave their mark on the world, who relishes the pressure and privilege of working with high caliber colleagues, and who actively seeks feedback to keep leveling up. We want someone who will run towards, not away from, solving the company’s hardest problems.
Our work culture is intense and isn’t for everyone. But if you want to build the future alongside others who excel in their disciplines and expect the same from you, there’s no better place to be.
We are looking for a Liquidity Risk Manager with deep experience identifying and managing liquidity risk across prime brokerage related activities. You will lead the design of the prime brokerage liquidity risk framework, manage liquidity risks across our existing products, and contribute to firm wide oversight including stress testing. A key component of this role is directly partnering with our Product teams and other cross-functional stakeholders to design and scale a liquidity risk framework for CB Prime. The right candidate will enjoy operating in a dynamic digital asset market environment and managing liquidity risks across the firm’s institutional product offerings. This role will report to a Director in Financial and Operational Risk, and will be based in the United Kingdom.
What you’ll be doing (ie. job duties):
- Identify and mitigate liquidity risks with a primary focus on prime brokerage activities (trading, financing, custody, staking, etc.)
- Design and implement a liquidity risk framework across financing products and establish risk limits across legal entities
- Monitor outflows and contingent liabilities in the prime broker
- Establish a modeled liquidity outflow based on historical client behavior and stress scenarios
- Actively engage in the product design process, in order to influence and mitigate inherent structural risks during the development phase
- Prepare liquidity risk reporting and present to senior management
- Proactively monitor and escalate any liquidity concerns or limit breaches to senior management
- Recommend and implement policies and processes, as appropriate for existing products and emerging risks
- Collaborate with business partners (product, coverage, operations, legal, etc.) to resolve complex client and product challenges
What we look for in you (ie. job requirements):
- Minimum of 7-10 years’ experience in liquidity risk management at a global financial institution
- Meaningful experience managing liquidity risks across prime brokerage and/or derivatives products
- Meaningful experience with asset liability management across hedge funds, asset managers, and other prime clients
- Strong quantitative skills and understanding of capital markets products
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
- Self-starter with commercial business insight. Able to interact, influence and build relationships at all levels of seniority and across all functions within an organization
- Able to balance strategic focus with tactical implementation and efficient execution
- Enjoys analyzing, evaluating and forming independent judgments, and challenging the status quo for better outcomes
Nice to haves:
- Crypto forward - strong knowledge of emerging crypto trends
