• Have a strong understanding of all the asset classes that the various Bloomberg solutions can support and the markets that are in your region
• Good understanding of financial modelling with regards to cross‑asset financial instruments, including fixed income, equities, OTC and exotic derivatives
• Training clients on use of the different risk products and Bloomberg pricers across different asset classes

You’ll need to have:

• Experience in Risk financial services or a Financial Technology organisation including Project Management experience
• Experience implementing Risk and portfolio analytics solutions such as Value at Risk (VaR), Fundamental Review Trading Book (FRTB), Standard Initial Margin Model (SIMM), and counterparty risk (XVA)

• Proven experience prioritising engagements, gathering requirements, and defining sophisticated workflows
• Proven experience in both independent and collaborative working environments in a fast‑moving business
• Demonstrated history of solving complex problems with a keen eye for detail and a meticulous level of precision
