My client is a specialist quantitative risk consultancy focusing solely on the finance sector and are looking for a Market Risk Quantitative Analyst at Senior Consultant level. They help their banking clients develop, enhance, and validate their most sophisticated risk models and analytical frameworks, to provide them with a competitive edge.

Their consultants combine exceptional quantitative skills with a deep understanding of financial risk management, and have a business- oriented mindset, allowing them to successfully deliver complex analytical projects.

* Between 3 and 10 years of relevant working as a Quantitative Analyst with experience in a modelling/analytics role within Market Risk.

* Candidates from both the banking industry and consulting sector will be considered, with preference for candidates with some consulting experience.

* Knowledge of current and upcoming regulation e.g. FRTB

* Proficiency in object-oriented programming languages such as Python

* Strong written and verbal communication skills in English and ability to assess technical information and present key findings
