What you will do with us

Risk.net is looking for a Networks & Benchmarking Editor to help develop our growing portfolio of data and benchmarking products – one of our top strategic priorities. 

You will be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders in the financial services industry, primarily senior risk managers at banks, buy side firms and market infrastructure providers. You will also help shape the products and coverage that we offer to those contributors and our subscribers. 

Based in Hong Kong, the role blends elements of research and networking, product design and management, and content strategy. 

For almost 40 years, Risk.net has helped track – and set – the agenda at the world’s largest financial institutions, with a particular focus on the derivatives markets. We are a rare beast: a financial industry publication that thrives on long-form investigative journalism, in-depth market coverage and quant finance research that carries real impact in the industry. 

As our coverage has evolved to incorporate more data-driven stories, we have also been building our own proprietary datasets, some drawn from publicly available sources, others from private contributions to our benchmarking services. Your primary role will be to own, expand and deepen these relationships. 

The successful candidate will be comfortable talking to senior individuals and teams at these firms, developing a thorough understanding of their needs. Your findings will be shared with colleagues in a clear and concise manner, helping to shape our products. As our datasets grow, you will help curate and maintain them, as well as identifying new ways to present information and insights back to our contributors and subscribers.

 Key tasks and responsibilities

• Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders in the financial services industry, particularly senior risk managers at large banks and buy side firms;
• Develop reliable contacts. Identify and approach potential new contributors;
• Help to refine our coverage. Proactively identify new content opportunities and product enhancements that fit with Risk.net’s wider editorial offering;
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders, including in-house developers, designers and marketing teams.
• Collect and verify data for benchmarking products. Respond to queries from subscribers and prospects about our products;
• Stay up-to-date on industry trends and developments, as well as changing demands for information within a range of financial services firms.

• Ideally, some experience in a role with similar skills – research or product management, for example 
• Excellent communication skills and a proven ability to build and maintain relationships with internal and external stakeholders. 
• Solid understanding of the financial services industry. 
• Ability to work both independently and as part of a team. 
• Experience of using online survey platforms would be an advantage, as would an awareness of how LLMs and other AI tools could help automate some aspects of data collection and curation. 
• Strong Excel skills would also be an advantage.
