About The Position

We're searching for a candidate with a highly specific skill-set to take on the role of Head of Asset Risk for a start-up company providing a defined credit framework via Bankroll-as-a-Service to high-volume, possibly high-risk industries. The role spans two dimensions of risk: operational risk (volatility, win/loss swings, and the quality of clients/operators) and liquidity risk (making sure capital is in the right place at the right time, that funding commitments can always be met, and that no single position can impair the pool). At the centre of both sits the credit question — ensuring an operator is never extended more credit than their wagering volume and economics can reliably support. This is a senior, hands-on position. You will build the models, set the limits, run the monitoring and own the judgement calls, working directly with the leadership team and reporting to the board.

Requirements

Advanced education in Pure Maths, Statistics, Economics, Financial Engineering, Actuarial Science or similar, and genuine comfort with probability, volatility and statistical modelling
Background: Finance, Credit Risk, Treasury, Asset Management, Structured Lending
Adept at creating and assessing risk models
Able to take data-driven decisions
Excellent communication and presentation skills
Integrity beyond reproach

Nice To Haves

Worked with risk management within the iGaming industry and understands iGaming economics; GGR, RTP, player reserve, bonus dynamics, player behaviours

Responsibilities

Take ownership of the risk management of all bankroll assets end to end
Set, monitor and enforce credit limits for each operator, calibrated to their wagering volume, GGR, margin profile and payment behaviour — so that exposure never outruns what an operator's volume can back up
Underwrite new operators: assess their volumes, game mix, player base, financial standing and operational integrity before capital is committed
Model casino risk — game volatility, RTP and hold variance, downswing scenarios and concentration — and translate the output into practical exposure limits
Manage liquidity risk across the bankroll: cash-flow forecasting, funding-buffer policy, stress testing and early-warning indicators for pool depletion
Run ongoing surveillance of deployed capital, with clear escalation triggers when an operator's performance, volume or behaviour deviates from expectations
