A leading, multi-billion dollar AUM Hedge Fund, are looking to make a specialist hire for its European Commodities front office.
Working with a small team of specialists and facing off to multiple commodity portfolio managers / traders, this hire will work closely with engineering teams to design, build, productionise and calibrate pricing, risk and P&L models. Presenting new ideas to senior stakeholders across the business and project managing engineering teams (rather than writing pricing libraries yourself) is a focal point to the role.
The role is highly visible, autonomous and as a result the progression potential is both high-level and varied, across quant, risk and investment functions, in addition to managing a larger team in this specific space.
Candidates should have excellent STEM academics and 5-15yrs experience in quant, risk, model validation or trading roles. The hire will be the team’s “go-to” person for any power related pricing queries, so a strong knowledge of power is a prerequisite for this role. On top of this, strong coding skills are preferred.
This is a crucial hire and as such, our client is committed to offering a lucrative compensation package to secure the most relevant hire – this will include a ‘significant’ step up on current base salary and a front office bonus that can make up a large & of this number.
