A leading commodities trading firm are searching for a new Head of Quantitative Engineering to head up their Quant department, reporting directly to the CTO. You will manage three teams - Quant Development, Quant Engineering, and Derivatives Platform, each area with their own team lead.

The position entails a fair amount of stakeholder management, having to liaise frequently with senior stakeholders across IT, Risk, and Front Office. My client is keen to bring someone into this position that can offer fresh ideas for successful innovation and change.
