Job description
From Hacksawoperations LTD’s job post, as they wrote it.
Hacksaw Markets is a B2B prediction-market platform that operators can use to offer prediction markets under their own brands. Most markets are listed and settled automatically. A shared order book creates a rare view of exposure across markets, operators and participants. At launch, the Risk Lead will cover operations risk, quantitative risk and surveillance, then grow the function into a round-the-clock desk. You will lead the Risk desk alongside Markets, Settlement, Operators and Compliance, starting hands-on and building the team as the platform expands.
Read the full description
What you will own
* Define limits across markets, operators and participants, plus the policies that trigger automatic or manual halts.
* Halt markets, cancel trades or change limits when conditions require it, documenting each decision.
* Design surveillance rules for insider patterns, wash trading and coordinated activity across operators.
* Own margin methodology and stress testing until the quantitative function expands.
* Write incident reviews that change a rule, a process or a tool.
* Build the desk across operations risk, surveillance and quantitative risk.
What you bring
* Trading-risk or exchange-risk experience in an exchange, clearing house, sportsbook or trading environment.
* First-hand experience halting a market and defending the decision afterwards.
* Comfort with SQL and the judgment to recognise when a number is wrong.
* The ability to write policies that engineers can implement and regulators can understand.
* Fluent English and calm leadership under pressure.
Why Hacksaw Markets
* A genuine build-stage mandate with direct influence over product, operating model and culture.
* An ambitious team supported by established technology, operating experience and long-term capital.
* The opportunity to help create trusted infrastructure for a category moving rapidly into the mainstream.
