Front Office Quantitative Analyst

4 weeks ago


London Area, United Kingdom Statera Talent Full time

Role Description:

A market-leading buy-side firm is seeking a commercially-minded Quantitative Analyst to join their Front Office team. This is not a standard quant role — you'll work directly with trading desks on optimizing complex deals, focusing on model development and enhancing the firm's pricing capabilities.

The Opportunity:

This is a rare chance to bridge the gap between theoretical modelling and real-world trading. Rather than working in isolation on abstract models, you'll be deeply involved in understanding and improving how mathematical frameworks inform trading decisions. For investment banking professionals, this presents an escape from regulatory constraints into a world of more exotic derivatives products.

Ideal Candidate:

You enjoy diving into complex structured products, understanding their nuances, and creating practical valuation tools that sharpen deal execution and improve P&L. You're detail-oriented and get satisfaction from seeing your models directly impact trading outcomes.

What Makes This Role Different:

  • Freedom from banking regulations to focus on more exotic and innovative products
  • Focus on enhancing existing models and developing new ones based on market realities
  • Heavy emphasis on exotic derivatives
  • Opportunity to see the immediate impact of your models in trading decisions
  • Small specialist team environment with exposure across the entire portfolio

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and calibrate sophisticated pricing models
  • Back-test and optimize valuation methodologies for complex structured deals
  • Develop bespoke pricing tools to sharpen deal execution and improve P&L
  • Work closely with trading desks to translate business needs into quantitative solutions
  • Own and drive improvements in specific product valuation approaches

Required Experience:

  • Proven experience as a Front-Office Quantitative Analyst
  • Strong understanding of commodity products
  • Strong mathematical background in option pricing theory and Monte Carlo
  • Proficient programming skills (C++/Python)
  • Experience in asset management, energy trading or investment bank environment

Benefits Package:

  • Performance-based bonus structure
  • Competitive pension scheme
  • Comprehensive healthcare coverage
  • Opportunity for global exposure in a flat, meritocratic structure

This is an ideal role for buy-side front-office quantitative analysts seeking career advancement, or investment banking professionals looking to transition into a more commercial, less regulated environment.
