By Joining Citi, you will become part of a global organisation whose mission is to serve as a trusted partner to our clients by responsibly providing financial services that enable growth and economic progress.

This position requires strong derivative pricing skills along with relevant industry experience.
Validation work will involve reviewing model assumptions, verifying the mathematical formulation, independently implementing the business/desk model when needed, developing benchmark models to conduct effective challenge, and assessing and quantifying model limitations to inform stakeholders of model risk to determine compensating controls.

  • Provide effective challenge to model assumptions, mathematical formulation, and implementation.

What we'll need from you:
  • Master's Degree or equivalent in STEM or other quantitative fields required (Mathematics, Statistics, Financial Engineering, Quantitative Finance etc.) with 2 + years of Quantitative experience.
  • Fewer years of relevant experience will be considered for candidates with higher academic qualifications and/or certifications such as a PhD, a second master's degree, CPA or CFA.
  • Some experience in a quantitative role in risk management at a financial institution with experience in either model development or validation, ideally experience in modelling of equity derivative products would be desirable.
  • Strong derivative pricing skills a must (Risk neutral pricing, stochastic calculus, numerical techniques (finite differences, Montecarlo simulation, binomial/Trinomial Trees, Numerical integration), coding in C++/python).
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to find practical solutions to challenging problems.
  • Teamwork and commitment are essential.
What we can offer you:
We work hard to have a positive financial and social impact on the communities we serve. In turn, we put our employees first and provide the best-in-class benefits they need to be well, live well and save well.
