SJC Partners is recruiting a Senior Manager to join the Financial Services Advisory practice of a leading professional services firm in London.
This is an opportunity for someone with a quantitative finance, valuations or model risk background to work on complex, technically challenging assignments across financial markets, while taking on broader responsibility for clients, projects and team leadership.
The role
You’ll work across a broad range of assignments involving:
- Valuation of derivatives, structured products and other complex financial instruments
- Interest rate, credit and equity products
- Financial instrument valuation across both liquid and illiquid markets
- Credit and default risk modelling
- Development, review and validation of financial models
- Complex or hard-to-value assets where observable market data may be limited
- Contentious and non-contentious valuation matters
Alongside the technical work, you’ll take responsibility for managing projects from inception through to delivery, presenting findings clearly to senior stakeholders and leading more junior members of the team.
You’ll also work closely with senior leadership on client relationships, business development and the continued growth of the practice.
We’d particularly like to speak with people who have
- Significant experience in financial instrument valuation, quantitative finance, model validation or credit risk modelling
- Experience gained within a bank, investment firm, asset manager, consultancy or professional services environment
- Strong quantitative skills with a background in areas such as mathematics, finance, economics, statistics, engineering or computer science
- Hands-on knowledge of derivatives and financial markets
- Experience using Python, R, MATLAB, VBA or similar
- The ability to explain complex quantitative concepts clearly to non-technical stakeholders
- Experience managing projects and/or junior team members
Qualifications such as CFA, FRM, PRM, CAIA or CQF would be useful but are not essential.
This could be particularly well suited to someone currently working in quantitative valuations, derivatives valuation, model risk, model validation, counterparty/credit risk or financial engineering who would like broader advisory exposure and a clearer route into senior leadership.
