Risk Manager, Investment Risk

The Risk Manager, Investment Risk, will serve as a senior subject-matter leader within the ALM, Credit and Market Risk team, providing independent risk oversight and perspective across The Hartford’s Alternative Asset and Corporate Credit portfolios, with a focus on Private Equity/LP Funds, Private Credit, and public and private Corporate Credit.

The individual will be accountable for developing and communicating independent, forward-looking risk views and translating analysis into actionable risk conclusions for senior management. This role will set the analytical direction for assigned portfolios, lead the development of risk assessment and stress-testing capabilities, and provide technical oversight and development for a junior analyst.

The individual will be expected to move beyond summarizing portfolio and sector information by independently evaluating underlying assumptions, connecting risks across sectors and asset classes, and identifying implications for The Hartford’s investment portfolio and risk profile. The role will also leverage AI-enabled tools, analytics, and automation to enhance risk identification and analytical capabilities.

This position is based in Hartford, CT on a full-time, hybrid schedule (T, W, Th in office; M, F remote).

• Drive enhancements to the measurement, aggregation, and monitoring of portfolio exposures, with a focus on identifying risks and portfolio implications that may not be apparent through individual sector analysis.
• Lead the development of stress testing and scenario analysis to evaluate tail risk, collateral sensitivity, asset performance, concentrations, and correlated risks across the portfolio.
• Lead market surveillance and thematic risk analysis, translating market, sector, and portfolio developments into forward-looking risk insights.
• Leverage AI-enabled tools, advanced analytics, and automation to enhance risk identification, surveillance, analytical capabilities, and early-warning indicators.
• Partner with investment teams and business partners to provide independent risk perspectives, assess key assumptions, and identify areas requiring deeper analysis or heightened monitoring.
• Advise senior leaders on investment risk implications arising from market events, portfolio developments, and ad-hoc analyses, providing clear, timely conclusions and recommendations.
• Drive scalable surveillance, reporting, and analytical capabilities that improve the quality, consistency, efficiency, and transparency of risk insights.
• Provide hands-on technical leadership and support the development of a junior analyst, ensuring the quality and accuracy of risk analysis and deliverables and providing guidance on the interpretation of results.
