Quant analyst with some C# or C++ for high profile role in the quantitative modelling team, responsible for market, liquidity & counterparty credit risk methodology.

  • Contribute to the delivery of the methodology projects, gathering and documenting requirements, considering all stakeholders' interest, regulatory requirements and any potential deficiencies in the current methods exposed by quality assurance;
  • Investigate, analyse and design risk methods to measure model performance and model risk
  • Design, develop and test code changes required to implement the risk methods in the risk systems, whilst assisting the technical teams responsible for the production environment;
  • Ensure the risk methods are adequately documented to support internal reviews and validation by internal auditors or regulators, by providing sufficient developmental evidences (ie materiality studies, description of assumptions, benchmarking against external methodologies and justification of methodological choices); take the lead in ensuring the successful review by model validation teams.

This role will expose the candidate to a wide range of professionals within the bank. Accordingly he/she will also require good communication skills (both written and verbal) and the ability to work proactively and as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
