Equity Vol Quant Researcher

3 weeks ago


London, UK, United Kingdom Undisclosed Full time

We are working with a top-tier investment bank who are looking to hire an Equity Vol Quant Researcher. The team is one of the strongest in the QIS market, with an excellent reputation for their IP content. They have seen increased interest in volatility strategies from their client base (they have a strong hedge fund client base). As a result, they are looking to add a quant researcher who can focus on the research and development of new equity (and cross asset) vol strategies. The team is uniquely positioned in the market, providing an exceptional opportunity with substantial forward potential.


The primary focus of this role will be on the research and development (R&D) of new systematic equity vol strategies within the Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) context. This role will encompass the full spectrum of index development, from implementation and integration into front-office pricing and risk models to ongoing support and collaboration with sales and trading teams. They would consider pure researchers who do not have applied implementation experience.

The ideal candidate will have a significant quant research background in creating highly sophisticated and successful systematic strategies. Expertise in equity vol research is particularly relevant but would consider vol specialists from other asset classes. This position is at VP level, but candidates ranging from Associate to Director level are encouraged to apply.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Generate and manage systematic equity and cross asset vol strategies.
  • Conduct R&D to develop new and innovative strategies.
  • Implement and integrate strategies into front-office pricing and risk models.
  • Provide ongoing support for strategies, ensuring they meet client needs and market demands.
  • Pitch solutions to internal and external clients.
  • Collaborate with trading and sales teams to optimize performance.


This position requires a strong educational background, including a degree from a top university in a relevant subject (e.g., Engineering, Mathematics, Quantitative Finance), and proven experience in equity systematic strategies creation and implementation.


Due to demand, we are advertising this role anonymously. If you would prefer to speak to someone before submitting a CV, please send a blank application to the role and someone will be in touch to discuss.


We can only respond to highly qualified candidates.
