This role will be responsible for supporting the implementation of PFE and intraday/end-of-day credit risk monitoring, with a strong emphasis on quantitative analysis and validation.
The role will require engagement with risk quants, validation of pricing and simulation models, mapping of complex products, and involvement in rigorous testing of risk models and systems.
The role:
* Act as a Quantitative BA within the PFE programme, bridging the gap between risk quants, technology, and business stakeholders.
* Perform detailed quantitative and technical analysis of PFE methodologies and infrastructure design.
* Document and validate user requirements with a focus on credit exposure modelling and risk factor behaviour.
* Support validation of pricing models, simulation engines, and PFE calculations using vendor or in-house tools.
* Map complex products (Interest Rates, FX, Loans, and derivatives) into PFE model frameworks, ensuring consistency across modelled and non-modelled approaches.
* Collaborate with risk quants to understand methodology design and communicate requirements to development teams.
* Define and execute structured testing methodologies, including quantitative validation, regression testing, and end-to-end model testing.
* Partner with production teams to ensure smooth deployment of new quantitative risk processes and controls.
* Provide subject matter expertise in quantitative risk technology to resolve production issues and influence future platform enhancements.
* Build strong working relationships across risk analytics, model validation, market and credit risk management, technology, and Front Office teams.
Key Skills and Experience:
To succeed in this role you will need:
* Hands-on experience with counterparty credit risk and advanced PFE methodologies.
* Familiarity with stochastic simulation, exposure profiles, and risk factor modelling.
* Practical experience working with vendor or proprietary pricing and risk engines (eg, FraimWRX, Murex, or similar).
* Knowledge of investment banking products and their quantitative characteristics (Interest Rate derivatives, FX, Loans).
* Strong business analysis skills, including requirements gathering, functional specifications, and test planning.
* Demonstrated ability to validate and interpret quantitative model outputs, liaising effectively with risk quants.
* Minimum 5 years' experience in risk technology, credit risk, or quantitative business analysis roles.
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain quantitative concepts to non-quant stakeholders.
Previous work experience in investment banking or the securities industry, ideally in a quantitative BA or risk technology role.
* Proactive, self-starting, and detail-oriented with strong ownership of deliverables.
* Strong analytical, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
* Ability to manage workload across multiple priorities, balancing urgent tasks with long-term projects.
* Strong interpersonal and influencing skills, with the ability to partner across technical and business teams.
* High attention to detail and accuracy, particularly in quantitative analysis and testing.
