The Market Risk team is responsible for measuring and managing Macquarie’s potential exposure to losses resulting from changes in financial markets. Given the diversity and complexity of the products traded at Macquarie, our work is both challenging and essential to the way we conduct business.

We are a global financial services group operating in 31 markets and with 56 years of unbroken profitability. You’ll be part of a friendly and supportive team where everyone - no matter what role - contributes ideas and drives outcomes.
