About the Role
Risk Strategists are independent experts who combine quantitative analysis, judgment, and curiosity to translate complex analytics into clear, actionable insights that shape portfolio decisions and strengthen investment talent. They work closely with investors and investment platform management, providing insight into portfolio construction and risk-taking. This role is a key part of the firm’s investment oversight process and requires an in-depth understanding of client expectations, investor philosophies, and portfolio and risk analysis. As risk coaches and force multipliers, Risk Strategists elevate others by making complex data accessible and actionable in pursuit of our dual mandate: to help investors deliver on client expectations and to help managers develop investment talent.

- Design and conduct risk analysis and research, orchestrating data and translating complex information into clear, actionable insights that inform portfolio decisions and strengthen investment skill.
- Ensure risk reporting, dashboards, and analytical tools are robust, scalable, and decision-useful; identify outliers or emerging concerns and partner with technology and data teams to improve the underlying analytics and processes.
- Partner with investors and managers to integrate analytics into coaching and development, fostering reflection and continuous learning.
- Contribute to broader investment risk oversight, bringing portfolio insights and emerging areas of concern into Risk Strategy and Investment Platform discussions.
- Contribute to Wellington’s risk culture by mentoring colleagues and promoting disciplined, thoughtful risk-taking.
