Junior Risk Analyst
Our mission is to enable everyone to build wealth
We reinvent how trading and investing work by creating exceptional products people love.
Fostering a culture of excellence and high velocity is the key to our success.
Тoday, we serve over 4.5 million clients, with more than €30 billion in assets under management—a testament to the scale and trust we’ve built in just a few years.
Purpose of the Role
We are looking for a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Risk Analyst to join our Sydney Risk team. This is an excellent graduate or early-career opportunity for someone who is eager to build a career in operational risk within a fast-paced, regulated environment. You will play a key role in supporting the integrity of our risk framework across our Invest and Contracts for Difference (CFD) product suite, working alongside experienced risk professionals to develop your skills and grow into a fully-fledged risk practitioner.
Key Responsibilities
Support the facilitation of Risk and Control Self-Assessments (RCSAs) across the business, helping to identify inherent and residual risks, associated controls, and risk ratings in line with our risk appetite.
Maintain the risk register, keeping RCSA outputs current as the business and regulatory environment evolves.
Execute control testing to assess the effectiveness of operational and financial controls, documenting results and escalating gaps or weaknesses to senior management.
Track issue remediation and follow up on control deficiencies to ensure timely resolution.
Build your understanding of the regulatory environment for CFD products, including margin requirements, client suitability, and best execution obligations.
Collate and validate data from internal systems to support monthly risk reporting packs for senior management and risk committees, helping to maintain accurate and consistent reporting templates.
Gather information and document operational incidents, working with the business to agree remediation actions and strengthen preventative controls.
Partner with first-line teams to embed a culture of risk awareness across the organisation.
Experience & Qualifications
A degree (or equivalent) in Finance, Commerce, or a related discipline is preferred. We also welcome applications from candidates who have previously worked in a regulated financial services environment and are looking to transition into a dedicated Risk function.
Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and/or Google Sheets, along with the ability to work with and interpret data sets.
Prior exposure to financial services is desirable, e.g. through an internship, placement year, or part-time role at a bank, broker, or asset manager. This is not a requirement for candidates applying via the graduate pathway.
Familiarity with risk frameworks, internal audit, or compliance concepts is also desirable.
Key Competencies & Attributes
Strong analytical mindset with excellent attention to detail and a methodical approach to problem-solving.
A genuine interest in financial markets and risk management, with some understanding of CFD products or derivatives more broadly.
Adaptability and comfort with ambiguity in a growing team.
Ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously, prioritise effectively, and meet deadlines.
Good written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present information clearly and concisely.
