Senior Quant required for Quantitative Investment Strategies Group – Tier One Investment Bank – London. VP/Director level. Up to £175k + Bonus + Package recruitment

Montash Associates is working with a Tier One Investment Bank, and are looking to source and experience Quant to join a market leading Quantitative Investment Strategies Group.

The team is responsible for researching, backtesting and delivering a suite of quantitative investment solutions to a vast array of investors. All products within this team focus around Fixed Income and there is a separate group covering Equity products, however there will be significant collaboration between the two.

The group consists of Structurers, Sales professionals and lawyers. They are looking to build up the quant element of the group extensively, and source an innovative group member to handle a vast array of day to day tasks. There will be a significant focus on the modelling of these products, not the packaging. They are not looking for a structurer with quantitative skills. This individual will also be responsible for the backtesting, optimisation and tuning of the strategies.

They are open to the asset class and organisation that this individual comes from, but experience of developing quantitative investment strategies for clients is essential. You will be sitting alongside other members of the QIS team as well as fixed income quants, allowing idea sharing and support from other quantitative professionals. There will be extensive interaction with clients and traders.

To summarise, the core requirements of this role are:

• Experience with Quantitative Investment Strategies , any asset class

• Experience from a leading financial organisation, either an Investment Bank or Asset Manager

• Strong academic track record. Post graduate qualification in highly numerical discipline

• Strong programming skills, c++

• Excellent interpersonal skills. Strong teamwork and collaboration required

In return for these skills, there is an exceptional package on offer. The exact package will be entirely dependent upon the specific individual, and the hire will ideally be made at VP or Director Level. The base salary will be up to £175k, with a market leading bonus and flexible benefits package on top of this.

To apply, please send a copy of your CV to edwardb@montash.com. Alternatively, I can be contacted on 0207 749 6060. All conversations, applications and correspondence will be treated in the strictest confidence.
