Independence is the point of the role, which is why it reports outside the trading line and why the seniority band matters more than the title. The work is quantitative without being signal research: exposure aggregation, factor and liquidity risk, margin and financing, counterparty limits and the daily conversation with portfolio managers about what a position can lose.
KnowQuant's model puts total compensation for a risk manager in New York at roughly $130k to $750k, from entry level to senior. These are modelled bands, not published offers; the salary page shows the basis and how each city compares.
