• Collaborate with first line partners to design and continuously improve the market risk management framework, including setting risk limits, thresholds, and reporting procedures

• Work with front-office teams to understand market views, exposures, and trading strategies, ensuring that risks are appropriately managed
• Provide effective challenge to strategic and tactical moves
