Quantitative Analyst

The Role 

Will involve a mixture of project and client-facing work developing our economic scenario generator software STAR and supporting our clients, who are mostly non-life insurance companies. We are undertaking a significant program of development and restructuring of our products and processes, and the successful candidate will play a key role in this.
You will receive on-the-job training and support to familiarize yourself with our business, models, and systems. You will quickly be involved in regular calibration of our models, preparing client deliverables, and responding to client queries. This role offers the chance to practice client-facing skills from an early stage. You will also collaborate in research projects, model testing, and implementation, developing subject-matter expertise in economic modelling. This role offers flexibility in working pattern, so please discuss your requirements with us upon application.

• Develop expertise in the stochastic mathematical models underlying our economic scenario generators  
• Support the development of the model and calibration process, including process automation 
• Develop knowledge of the full range of asset classes used by our clients and relevant modelling approaches 
• Prepare client deliverables 
• Provide support to clients through responding to queries, delivering training, and undertaking appropriate investigations, collaborating with other team members, and providing guidance to junior colleagues

The Requirements

• We prefer candidates to have a background in quantitative modelling or data science. Experience of stochastic economic modelling, particularly in the context of capital modelling for insurance companies, would be an advantage. 
• Some basic coding experience (particularly Matlab, C#), with an interest in further developing your programming skills 
• Ability to investigate and analyze complex modelling issues and communicate them to a non-technical audience 
• Comfortable working in a hybrid environment and working independently 
• Good organizational skills and attention to detail
