Market/Counterparty Risk – Team Build out – Tier 1 IB recruitment

My client, a Tier 1 Investment Bank, is going through huge growth of its derivatives platform on a global basis to continue excellent results from the FSA and being well ahead in the Basel III world.

I am working with a Global Director who is building a new team to challenge the entire risk approach of the Bank from top to bottom - challenging the CCR and Market Risk quants on the models, the Reporting and Governance departments and liaising with the highest levels of Management including CRO level within the bank with a global remit in an environment that does over 1 million derivatives trades per quarter. You will be looking at complex issues such as the CVA/DVA approach, IMM governance and Marginal Models Conservativeness within the Bank.

They are hiring from analyst to VP level and are looking for candidates with good knowledge of derivatives from ideally a Market or Counterparty Risk perspective with an excellent academic background. You will be a self-starter and have an entrepreneurial perspective in a team that will challenge and shape the risk approach for the bank globally. Your experience would be from a Tier 1 or 2 Bank, FSA or a global consulting firm.

There are significant opportunities to impress and a multitude of career paths within CCR/Market Risk as well as front office CVA paths for those who excel - this is one of the few new teams being grown in the city that is mission critical to risk.

My client is shortlisting now with interviews being scheduled this and next week - so for a confidential discussion feel free to call or send your cv asap.
