Quantitative Researcher Credit Markets

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a dynamic and expanding quantitative research team with a focus on credit, within the Portfolio Implementation team, which is responsible for utilising a range of quantitative techniques and datasets to generate investment insights for our investments divisions.

About the Role

We are seeking an individual with a passion for problem-solving and creating innovative solutions to join our Public Markets Portfolio Implementation Team. You will help the fixed income investment management team drive process innovation by identifying opportunities to generate alpha through data-driven insights and the application of machine learning techniques. You will bring your curiosity to test and develop quantitative insight, and software engineering skills to help build the next generation of portfolio construct and alpha-generating tools which will be utilised by multiple asset classes and investment processes. You will own the modelling and optimisation processes used to drive our IG and HY investment processes.

Key Skills and Experience

  • Experience in applying quantitative methods in investing, and proficiency in handling large financial datasets in a quant, portfolio management, data-science, or software engineering role.
  • Strong coding skills in Python, with ability to effectively translate real-world modelling problems into code and practical tools. Familiarity with SQL and expertise in machine learning are plus.
  • Deep understanding of credit markets and proficiency in conducting fundamental credit analyses, evaluating credit spreads and yield curves to inform investment decisions.
  • Expertise in mathematical linear and nonlinear optimisation methods.
  • Outstanding analytical skills, both quantitative and qualitative.

What You'll Get

  • Generous pension scheme - Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in.
  • Eligibility for annual performance bonus.
  • Family friendly parental and carer's leave.
  • Generous holiday entitlement plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days.
  • Up to 40% discount for Aviva products.
  • Brilliant flexible benefits including electric cars.
  • Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme.
  • 21 volunteering hours per year.

Regulatory Requirements

In this role you'll be 'Certified' under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority's Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we'll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we'll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain 'fit and proper' and competent to carry out your role. We'll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.
