Role: Fixed Income Product Owner (Fixed Income Product Owner Manager BISAM BI-SAM Aladdin Barclays POINT Barclays PORT Risk VaR Performance Attribution SQL Analysis Bonds Rates Credit Treasuries Fixed Income Loans ABS CDS Derivatives Quant Development VBA Trading Front Office Python MATLAB R Asset Management Buy Side Investment Manager Hedge Fund Mutual Contract Consultant) required by our asset management client in London. You will be working in a Fixed Income technology department of roughly 10 scrum teams. You will be assigned to one or two of these teams as a Product Owner. As opposed to a Business Analyst role, you will have the responsibility of identifying improvements in the product and presenting the business, with the collaboration of the engineering team, with a range of solutions. There is a lot of flexibility with which team you could work with. You could be assigned to risk, Fixed Income data, performance, attribution, decision-making or quant development, depending on your experience and strengths. Good Fixed Income knowledge is key here. Asset management experience is highly desirable but the priority is a good background in Fixed Income. Key projects will be coming up in the quant development team and attribution team. If you are 'assigned' to a specific team, you will nonetheless be part of a central Fixed Income product owner team and have the ability to float across the department allowing for you to cross-skill.
The business knowledge aspect is important for this role, meaning candidates who currently work in the business would be very welcome. Further, the department works heavily with Bloomberg PORT, so experience with PORT, Barclays POINT or alternative performance and attribution products such as BI-SAM and Aladdin would be very desirable.
Ideally, you will have knowledge of both corporate and government (treasuries) bonds. You should also be familiar with a variety of derivatives, ideally exotic and vanilla, such as CDS, ABS, futures, options, swaps and even CDO's.
