Enhancing model production processes to improve efficiency, scalability and control
Designing and implementing risk management solutions aligned to regulatory frameworks
Providing technical leadership, coaching and guidance across financial modelling and development capability
Defining and shaping model configuration, integration and enhancement activities to support delivery
Leading team development and fostering a collaborative, high-performing environment
Who we’re looking for:
Experience leading financial modelling or quantitative development teams in a complex environment
Strong financial modelling and risk analytics knowledge, ideally within financial services or insurance
Background in translating complex business requirements into technical modelling solutions
Strong programming capability, e.g. Python, C++, VBA or similar technologies
Solid mathematical or analytical background, with the ability to work with complex data and scenarios
Experience working with modern development tools (e.g. Git, JIRA, Confluence or similar)
Ability to lead, coach and develop teams, creating an inclusive and collaborative culture
Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills, with the ability to influence across technical and non-technical audiences
Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:
The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance -related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
Generous pension contribution
Life assurance
Healthcare Plan (permanent employees only)
At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
Competitive family leave
Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice (permanent employees only)
There are many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
We’re creating net‑zero carbon workplaces by 2030 by investing in our sustainable, modern offices across the UK, all designed to bring people together and elevate the in‑person experience
