Quantitative Research Lead
London
A genuinely high impact opportunity for a senior quant who wants to lead, build and stay close to investment decision making.
This is not a role where you disappear into a central technology function.
You will lead a small, highly capable quantitative team and work directly with senior investment professionals, shaping the models, analytics and research tools behind complex trading decisions.
The focus is broad enough to keep the work intellectually demanding, but close enough to the desk that you will see the value of what you build.
The opportunity
- Lead and develop a team of experienced quantitative researchers and developers
* Own the design and delivery of pricing, risk and analytical capability
* Build production quality models and research infrastructure for a sophisticated trading environment
* Partner directly with portfolio managers and analysts on bespoke quantitative problems
* Develop data sets and research tools that improve analysis, testing and decision making
* Set technical direction while remaining hands on with the detail
What will make you stand out
- Experience leading senior quants, developers or technical research teams
* Expert level C++ capability, with a track record of writing high quality production code
* Strong Python skills for research, analysis and tooling
* Strong markets experience across interest rates, fixed income derivatives and FX
* Deep understanding of quantitative modelling, market data and risk
* The ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to investment stakeholders
Compensation
A market leading package for the right individual, reflecting the seniority, technical depth and investment impact of the role
