Quant Research and Development, Credit

This is a great job for someone 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.

A bit about the job:

We are looking for 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.

You will be working within a diverse team with a range of talent that you will collaborate with on a range of areas of interest across the Public Markets Implementation team, along with deep experience to tap into and learn from.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

Experience, ideally in applying quantitative methods in investing, and proficient 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 for this role:

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

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.

Aviva is for everyone:

We are inclusive and welcome everyone – we want applications from people with diverse backgrounds and experiences.

Excited but not sure you tick every box? Research tells us that women, particularly, feel this way. So, regardless of gender, why not apply. And if you’re in a job share just apply as a pair.

We flex locations, hours and working patterns to suit our customers, business, and you.

Most of our people are smart working – spending around 60% of their time in our offices and 40% at home.

We interview every disabled applicant who meets the minimum criteria for the job.
