Help power the pricing and risk engine behind global markets. This role puts you at the heart of curve production, shaping the data and models that enable trading, valuation and risk decisions while contributing to modernisation initiatives across a globally connected team. We are a global financial services group operating in 30 markets with 57 years of unbroken profitability. At Macquarie, you're empowered to shape a career that is fulfilling and creates value.

The role blends operational ownership with change delivery, from overseeing the daily rate build and resolving complex data or calculation issues, to supporting platform modernisation and onboarding new products and markets through robust rate capture and derivation frameworks. As a trusted point of expertise, you provide guidance on rates and curve construction, helping teams make informed decisions and enabling consistent, high quality outcomes across the organisation.
