Desk Quant Strategist (Structured Products)

We have partnered with Tier-1 Alternative Investment Manager/Hedge Fund looking to hire a Desk Quant to join their highly successful European Structured Products business, which sits within one of the most successful and profitable hedge funds of all time.

The team invests across ABS, NPLs, CLOs, Mezzanine Finance (to name a few) and this hire will have ownership and responsibility for the quant capabilities of the desk, which would involve working substantial amounts of data, given the nature of the assets in the portfolio.

While not a requirement, previous experience working with and/or modelling structured products (eg. NPLs/ABS) or working as a quant within a fixed income/credit environment would be a big plus. At the very least, expertise in Python, as well as a strong academic background is required.

Given that this is a small team, it will be important that the selected candidate is confident, self-assured, and able to act independently and as an authority on the desk for everything quant-related. The role will involve working closely with the head of the desk to build models to efficiently analyse various investment opportunities (eg. NPLs), as well as enhancing & developing the overall quant infrastructure of the team to drive pnl & improve efficiencies wherever possible.

This is a very high calibre set-up and a meritocratic environment, which would offer the opportunity to work alongside one of the most highly respected teams in the market.
