RESPONSIBILITIES AND QUALIFICATIONS

Our core value is building strong relationships with our institutional clients, which include corporations, financial service providers, and fund managers. We help them buy and sell financial products on exchanges around the world, raise funding, and manage risk. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial team with a passion for the markets, with individuals who thrive in fast-paced, changing environments and are energized by a bustling trading floor.

YOUR IMPACT

We are looking for an individual with a passion to learn, innovate and apply quantitative skills to very complex and seldom documented problems. This individual will have an opportunity to learn about cutting edge problems investment banks are currently facing to optimise their capital and liquidity footprint. You will be given the opportunity to drive projects with direct and quantifiable PnL impact to the bottomline of the division and of the firm.

Funding and Capital Optimisation Strats: For this position, we are looking for an Analyst or Associate. The individual will focus on the optimization of scarce resources (Capital and Liquidity) and should demonstrate strong statistical, quantitative modelling, and programming skills as well as excellent communication, presentation, and interpersonal skills. The current portfolio of projects has a significant impact to the bottom line of the firm but because of the very bespoke nature of the mandate of the team, there is embedded flexibility to onboard any new ideas with commercial impact.

• Create innovative models and calculators to help drive our Capital and Liquidity optimisation effort across Global Banking & Markets with initial exposure to Macro Businesses and eventual exposure to all the businesses in Global Banking & Markets.
• Apply Numerical optimisation techniques to the minimisation of the firm’s scarce resources (capital, initial margin, contingent liquidity).
• Deep understanding of regulatory capital, methodology, and model implementation
• Interact with business leaders to explain your findings and drive their implementation.
