Derivatives Pricing Specialist

Method Resourcing are excited to be partnering with a fast-growing, exceptionally well-backed FinTech business based in London as they expand their Product team under a newly appointed Head of Product.

This is an opportunity for an experienced financial-markets professional to take ownership of a specialist asset class, becoming a subject-matter expert on the derivatives, pricing methodologies and market data that underpin a sophisticated financial technology product.

The role would suit someone with a strong background in OTC derivatives pricing, valuation, structuring or valuation control who wants to apply their expertise beyond the traditional trading floor. You'll work closely with clients, quantitative specialists and engineers, helping shape how complex financial instruments are represented, valued and understood within the product.

What you'll be doing:

• Become the internal subject-matter expert for a specialist asset class, with opportunities across FX, Equities, Credit and Commodities.
• Apply deep knowledge of OTC derivatives, from vanilla products through to more complex and structured instruments, including how they are booked, priced and valued.
• Understand the market data and pricing inputs underpinning derivative valuations, including curves, volatility surfaces, market conventions and relevant pricing methodologies.
• Investigate and explain valuation discrepancies, challenging pricing differences and understanding the underlying reasons behind them.
• Work directly with sophisticated buy-side and sell-side clients, helping them navigate complex derivatives, valuation and market-data challenges.
• Collaborate with quantitative and engineering teams, translating specialist market knowledge into robust data requirements, product functionality and improvements.
• Challenge existing approaches, contribute to product development and help identify opportunities to expand the platform's capabilities.

What we're looking for:

• Strong, demonstrable expertise in at least one asset class: FX, Equities, Credit or Commodities.
• Significant experience working with OTC derivatives, with a detailed understanding of their mechanics, pricing and valuation.
• Practical exposure to derivative pricing methodologies, valuation models and the market data required to support them.
• Experience investigating pricing differences, independent valuations, valuation control or related market-risk challenges.
• The credibility and communication skills to engage with traders, quants, valuation specialists and senior financial-market clients.
• An interest in applying your financial-market expertise within a technology-led product environment and working closely with engineering teams.
• Coding or quantitative development experience would be beneficial, but deep derivatives and valuation expertise is the priority.

What's on offer:

• A high-impact position within a fast-growing, exceptionally well-backed FinTech business.
• The opportunity to become the recognised specialist for your asset class and influence how the product develops.
• Direct exposure to leading investment banks and sophisticated buy-side institutions.
• Close collaboration with senior product leadership, quantitative specialists and engineering teams.
• Competitive remuneration and benefits, including healthcare, dental and vision.
