SVP Rates Valuation Model and Methodology (front office) -SINGAPORE
The role sits in the model and methodology function and is an SVP level position reporting in to an MD, managing 3-4 AVP’s. The function is cross product, however the hands on remit of your role is focused on the rates business (flow and exotics) which is the volume business of the IB that continues to rapidly expand. You are to face off to the rates trading desk in what is both a highly accountable and technical role. You are to also be the point of escalation to the other trading desks.
The role encompasses a broad remit that also includes much high level development, implementation and enhancement work, in addition to high level analysis. Given that as a whole this is still a relatively new, developing function, the individual will have to really think about the nuts and bolts of what they are doing, including having to read formula all over again. This isn’t therefore for a button pusher, but it is for an individual that is passionate about what they do and being able to get in to the detail. The function is also very powerful in the business and you will personally be given authority to veto trades and products if required.
We a looking to hire a candidate that is either currently a VP in a valuation Methodology team, a quant, from market risk or is in a highly technical valuation control role at a competitor IB. You must have an exceptional academic background (must be an Msc) and ideally a Phd.
The client is offering a base salary in line with a senior VP and a total compensation package that is greater than what many directors would be receiving elsewhere. A relocation package is available to a UK based candidate.
