My client, a leading UK investment platform with over £50bn+ AUM, is seeking a Quantitative Strategist to join its Front Office Strats team.
This role sits at the intersection of markets, advanced mathematics, and programming, working directly with traders and structuring teams on the pricing, execution, and risk management of complex assets and long-dated liabilities.
The team operates with an exotics-driven approach, applying rigorous derivatives pricing techniques across fixed income, securitised credit, and longevity-linked exposures.
Responsibilities
• Develop, implement, and enhance pricing and risk models for complex and often path-dependent instruments
• Partner closely with traders and structurers to analyse trades and asset origination opportunities
• Model embedded optionality and cashflow dynamics across fixed income, RMBS, ABS, and long-dated liabilities
• Contribute to the build-out of a next-generation pricing and risk platform
• Design and deliver robust, scalable quantitative tools for valuation, execution, and risk management
• Apply advanced financial mathematics to solve non-standard, real-world modelling problems
• Communicate complex quantitative concepts clearly across technical and commercial stakeholders
Requirements
• Strong academic background in a quantitative discipline (Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, etc.)
• Proven experience in derivatives pricing / quantitative modelling within a front-office or closely aligned environment
• Solid understanding of fixed income products and derivatives (Rates / Credit preferred)
• Exposure to structured or securitised products (RMBS, ABS) is advantageous
• Strong knowledge of financial mathematics and stochastic modelling techniques
• Strong proficiency in Python (NumPy, pandas, SQLAlchemy or similar), with ability to write clean, production-quality code
• Experience with C++ or Rust is advantageous but not required
• Commercial mindset, strong problem-solving ability, and a “get-things-done” attitude
Why Join
• Contribute to one of the largest technology transformations in UK financial services
• Work in a flat, delivery-focused environment alongside experienced quants, engineers, and business leaders
• See immediate impact — tools and models you build directly influence trading and investment decisions
• Access excellent benefits and on-site facilities, including a gym, café, and wellbeing allowance
• Join a stable, long-term platform combining the pace of a high-growth tech environment with strong institutional backing
Compensation
Highly competitive package with top performers earning £400k+ total compensation in year one, alongside market-leading benefits including a top-tier healthcare package, fully subsidised qualifications plus breakfast and lunch paid for each day.
