* Developing and enhancing analytical tools and systems used to store, process, and monitor investment-related data.
* Working closely with investment, risk, and operations teams to optimise deal structures and maintain robust monitoring frameworks.
* Tracking market movements, regulatory changes, and sector trends to provide insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.

* Collaborating with colleagues across the wider investment platform to share knowledge and drive best practice.
What We’re Looking For
* Master’s or PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
* At least 3 years’ experience in asset-backed finance, structured credit, quantitative analysis, data science, or credit risk.
* Strong experience working with granular loan-level datasets across consumer, SME, real estate, or receivables portfolios.
* Proficiency in Python and a strong command of statistical and financial modelling techniques.
* A solid understanding of asset-backed finance structures and market dynamics.
* Excellent problem-solving skills and strong attention to detail.
* Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
