VP/D Models & Methodologies (front office) -SINGAPORE
The role sits in the modelling and methodology function and will be an SVP level position sitting above (and overseeing) more junior members of the team. The role is cross product and faces off to all trading desks in what is both a highly accountable and technical role. That said we are ideally looking for the hire to take on full responsibility for the rapidly expanding credit and commodity 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 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 currently a VP in a Models / Methodology team at a competitor IB, that is from a highly quantitative market risk background or that is from a Font Office model pricing background. A Phd is preferred, but we can also look at highly quantitative Msc’s.
The client is offering a base salary in line with a senior VP and a total compensation package that is more in line with what a director would be receiving elsewhere. A relocation package is available to a UK based candidate.
