Accordingly, the role does require a solid quantitative background in quantitative counterparty risk. Working in close partnership with quantitative analysts within your team, risk analysts, risk systems and FO, the successful candidate will be expected to: Skills required To be successful in this role, the candidate should meet the following requirements: A strong academic background, with at minima a Masters in mathematics, physics or quantitative finance; Proven experience in a quantitative counterparty risk environment: Counterparty Credit Risk, EEPE, backtesting EEPE & risk factors, EAD, VaR Good knowledge of derivatives, their risk drivers and pricing models; ideally some experience in prime brokerage activity (SFT, Cash / Synthetic prime) Good understanding of risk methodologies and experience with implementation of some modifications would be a plus.
