Our Advisory team provide a wide variety of services that deliver value-led advice and outcomes.

Leading organisations trust us because of the quality of our advice. That quality grows from a thorough understanding of their business, and that understanding comes from working closely with them and building long-lasting relationships.

You will be involved in a range of valuation and advisory engagements relating to financial products (derivatives and cash based) across all asset classes that will include both contentious and non-contentious matters. Such engagements will also include risk related matters such as the modelling of default risk.

You will also assist with the development of valuation models and modelling techniques for financial assets ranging from complex derivatives and structured products to other hard to value instruments that are complex due to illiquidity or a lack of observable market data inputs.

You’ll be someone with:

• Master’s degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or Computer Science from a reputable university.
• Strong professional interest in the fields of finance and financial instrument valuation, hedging and structuring.
• Significant valuation or credit risk experience gained ideally from a major financial institution or another professional services firm.
• Intellectual curiosity and an analytical mind-set.
• An interest in applying tools from finance, mathematics, and data science to provide pragmatic and robust solutions to real-world problems.
• Strong knowledge of mathematics as applied to finance and hands on experience of the valuation of financial products or credit risk modelling.
• Desirable previous valuation or credit risk modelling experience or the building and / or validating model libraries obtained from within a leading investment house or buy-side firm.
• Strong attention to detail and able to maintain high levels of accuracy whilst working to tight deadlines.
• Ability to put together clear and concise papers setting out modelling approaches and valuation techniques applied.
• Proficiency in a number of valuation techniques and modelling of interest, credit and equity risks
• Some programming skills in a high-level language (e.g., Python, R, MATLAB, Excel VBA) and/or experience with econometric software packages (e.g., STATA, SAS).
• Effective written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent academic background with potentially a professional qualification in quantitative finance or other related financial discipline (e.g., CFA, FRM, PRM, CAIA, CQF)
