Fintual is building a new AFP (pension fund administrator) and seeking a Financial Risk Specialist to support the Risk Management team in identifying, evaluating, monitoring, and reporting financial risks (market, credit, and liquidity) across the fund portfolio. This is a foundational role in a startup AFP constructing its risk models from scratch.
You will serve as the independent technical counterpart to the Investment team, ensuring that risk controls are effective and that first-line teams (Investments and Finance) have the tools and methodologies to manage positions safely. The role combines real-time market monitoring with rigorous analysis of complex volatility, concentration, and liquidity challenges.
Key Responsibilities:
- Monitor and maintain financial risk matrices and maps, documenting exposures, threats, and controls related to market, credit, and liquidity risks
- Conduct technical risk evaluations for new investment projects, financial instruments, products, and changes to investment strategy
- Design, implement, and track Key Risk Indicators (KRIs), setting early-warning thresholds for critical variables such as volatility, concentration limits, VaR, CVaR, and liquidity ratios
- Support Investment and Finance teams in co-designing effective mitigating controls for their daily financial exposures
- Track regulatory compliance, following up on action plans from internal/external audits and regulator observations related to financial risk management
The opportunity includes designing modern, efficient, and automated metrics, KRIs, and control dashboards while avoiding the bureaucracy of legacy systems. You will have direct exposure to the company's investment strategy and work in an accelerated learning environment.
REQUIREMENTS:
Indispensable:
- University degree, preferably in Accounting & Auditing, Commercial Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or related field with strong analytical and financial foundation
- Minimum 3 years of accumulated experience in financial risk management or investment control within AFP, AGF, insurance companies, or banks
- Practical, real-world knowledge of AFP operational processes, especially those linked to the investment desk, custody, and fund valuation
- Familiarity and understanding of key financial concepts: VaR, market risk, issuer/credit risk, liquidity gaps, and regulatory limits under DL 3.500
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and excellent teamwork abilities with highly technical profiles
Desirable:
- Interest in or initial studies toward industry certifications (CFA levels, FRM, or similar)
- Experience automating financial risk reports or improving investment control processes
- Comfort with modern data analysis tools (SQL, Python) or AI assistants for optimizing reporting, metric processing, or regulatory document analysis
