People
  • Build strong relationships internally and collaborate effectively on cross-functional teams.

  • Deal professionally and incisively with investment banks and asset managers in order to contribute to the understanding of their execution capability and pricing keenness.

The Requirements

  • Some liability knowledge, likely obtained through pursuit/achievement of CFA, Actuarial or Financial Engineering qualifications
  • Some knowledge of traditional asset classes
  • Honed working practices to deliver timely and accurate solutions, sometimes at short notice
  • Team-player; able to fit seamlessly into a team of senior and more junior people all focused on delivering work of exceptional quality
