  • Help design and improve stress testing, Value at Risk and various limit frameworks for macro portfolios.
  • Conduct research to develop innovative risk management approaches, tools, and analytics that can be used by investment teams and risk managers, to achieve better comprehension of portfolio risk characteristics; comfortable in delivering those research findings to senior management
  • Partner with the technology team to convert prototypes into production and continuously enhance them if necessary; collaborate with macro strategists and valuation team to ensure the high quality of valuation and risk models
We seek candidates with:
  • A degree (master’s strongly preferred) in quantitative finance, statistics, math, engineering, or computer science
  • 3+ years of work experience in a quantitative research, trading or risk management capacity related to rates; solid product knowledge and analytical rigor in terms of pricing models, risk sensitivities and the best practice for risk aggregation in a portfolio context
  • High level of proficiency in SQL and quantitative programming (Python, MATLAB, R); experienced in dealing with large data sets
  • Strong attention to detail; willingness to go extra miles to ensure the accuracy and the quality of the work
  • Excellent communication skills and prior experience interacting with portfolio managers
  • The ability to manage multiple tasks independently and deadlines in a fast-paced environment
  • Ability to proactively seek new ideas and solution to improve the status quo
  • Strong work ethics – reliable and accountable
  • Ability to work cooperatively with all levels of staff as part of a team
  • A commitment to the highest ethical standards and to act with professionalism and integrity
