Model Validation Quant Analyst

One of the largest companies globally, and a major player in the oil and gas industry is looking to hire a model validation quant, ideally with 3-5 years of experience, to help build out their model validation desk. You would be joining a team of experienced Quants and will be mentored by an exceptional quant from a tier 1 bank who recently joined the desk. You will be working on the validation of the front office risk and pricing models for the commodities business.

Desirable Skills:

• Commodities experience.
• Applied mathematics knowledge including stochastic calculus, probability theory, and Monte Carlo methods.
