VP – Counterparty Credit Risk – VP – Tier 1 Bank – London recruitment

My client, a Tier 1 Bank with an emerging market focus, is going through huge growth of its quant teams as its global derivatives platform grows and it continues to be above global regulatory standards in the new Basel III world. This bank has grown throughout the last 4 years picking up numerous awards and profits above margin for the last 5 quarters.

I am working with a global director of some recognition that is building a new Exposure Management/Counterparty Credit Risk team which is going to the global hub of all areas of Counterparty for the Bank reporting to the CRO and the Board in this critical area . There will be close interaction with Global MDs, Front Office Traders and Quant teams in this multi-faceted role as well as a multitude of paths into a FO/buy side or MD - Risk role as your work would be recognised by leaders within the bank.

Your background could be from any area of CCR as long as you have a strong coverage of products and asset classes. For example it could be as a Quant CCR Model Development/Validation background, Reporting, Product Control, CVA calculation or Business Analysis background. There are a number of other backgrounds that would be looked at but you must have sound knowledge of CCR including PFE factors to derivative transactions. The career progression is at its best point as the team is being put together in this award winning Investment Bank.

The banks growth and profits speak for themselves , so if you would like to have a confidential chat about or send your cv for this urgent role over the bnk holiday I will get back to you asap. Interviews are looking to be scheduled next week with a view to a streamlined process and a quick hire. My client is very open to interntional applications patricularly from candidates working in major FS centres such as NY or Tokyo and can organise visas in 6 to 7 weeks and are at VP level currently or equivalent.

In addition to this I am hiring a whole host of CCR and Market Risk quant at all levels roles so feel free to have a general chat if you have this background.
