Consulting - Financial Services - Quantitative Advisory Services - Senior

In our Financial Services Organization (FSO), we build a better working world by rallying together to solve the most complex challenges. We accomplish this by building trusted relationships, keeping an open mind, going all in, being bold and courageous, and taking risks worth taking. We help build a financial services industry in which financial institutions are trusted, customers' financial goals are attainable, and the global economy is growing and secure. In today's complex business environment, that means understanding the relationship between risk, the regulatory environment, and performance improvement, and applying our knowledge to help clients achieve their business objectives.

Within our (FSO), the Quantitative Advisory Services (QAS) group is part of a larger team that provides integrated risk management guidance to help identify, measure, manage and monitor the market, credit, operational and regulatory risks associated with our client's trading, asset-liability management, capital management and other capital market activities. The QAS team is specifically engaged in projects related to the development, implementation, validation, and other quantitative services of financial models used for front office derivative pricing (e.g., forwards, swaps, options, and other exotics) spanning different asset classes (interest rate, FX, equity, credit, commodity and structure products, etc.), risk management (market risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and operational risk), balance sheet and income statement stress testing, and wholesale and retail credit.

This is a highly collaborative area, where you'll always have the support of your team while working on multiple high-profile projects. It's a challenging specialist area, so we won't expect you to hit the ground running - you'll learn as you go.
