About The Position

IMC is looking for an Experienced Risk Manager to join our Chicago Risk team, focusing primarily on Delta One business. Risk at IMC is deeply integrated with trading—we don't operate as a separate control function. Instead, we work sideby-side with traders and technology teams to understand risk, challenge assumptions, and help build the frameworks that support better trading decisions. Our team has a broad mandate across market, credit, capital, and operational risk. Rather than assigning rigid responsibilities, we encourage people to contribute wherever they can have the greatest impact. You'll collaborate daily with traders, quantitative researchers, and software engineers while helping shape the firm's approach to risk across existing and emerging trading strategies. This is an opportunity to join a highly collaborative team with significant visibility across the business, direct exposure to senior leadership, and the ability to influence both day-to-day trading decisions and the long-term evolution of IMC's risk framework.

Requirements

5+ years of experience in financial risk management, quantitative risk, or a related front-office risk function
Experience supporting exchange-traded products such as equities, ETFs, futures, or other linear products
Familiarity with Delta One trading strategies
Strong analytical and quantitative problem-solving skills
Proficiency in Python for data analysis, risk analytics, or automation
Ability to communicate complex quantitative concepts to traders, engineers, and business stakeholders
Comfortable working in a highly collaborative, fast-paced environment with significant ownership and autonomy
