Quant Analyst

A leading global investment bank is looking for an experienced Quant Analyst who has commercial experience working with FX markets (ideally derivatives) to join their front office team for investment banking AND wealth management.

This is a unique opportunity that is on offer which reflects the start of a new quant division within the Banking Finance world. You will be responsible for not only liaising with the traders and sales guys, but external clients who consist of high net worth individuals, hedge funds and large corporates.

Your primary responsibility will be focused around the development of pricing and risk management tools for the FX margin business for the wealth management division. You will take an instrumental part in developing the margin methodology for FX spot and FX derivatives, then formalising this and implementing it into the library - currently written in C++. Once this has been accomplished, you will then standardise said methodology across all FX products (e.g. swaps, options and swaptions).

The ideal candidate will have:

- 3-6 years of commercial experience as a FO Quant

- FX exposure/knowledge of FX markets - ideally structured products

- Strong C++

- Good communication skills to explain technical things to non-technical clients

- Self-motivated

- PhD or Masters in a quantitative field

This unique opportunity thus positions you with 2 potential career avenues on offer - either going down the wealth management side - which is a growing industry offering stability and more opportunity, or staying with front office quant analytics for the IBD.

If you're interested in applying please upload your resume in word format and we'll be in touch. Many thanks.
