Description & Requirements

-------------------------------

At Bloomberg, we provide trusted valuation, structuring, and risk solutions that empower financial professionals to assess risk accurately and navigate the markets with confidence. Our fully integrated workflow supports derivatives and structured products across multiple asset classes, powered by high-quality data and sophisticated models. Transparency, accuracy, and efficiency are at the core of what we do.

What's the role?

This role focuses on delivering premium structuring and valuation services to clients. It involves providing models that offer transparent valuation insights. To perform well in this position, a strong understanding of bespoke derivatives term sheets, industry-standard valuation models, and established "street practices" used for security valuation and portfolio risk analysis is important.

The ability to select and apply suitable pricing models, coupled with knowledge of model limitations and appropriate adjustments, is crucial in delivering accurate valuations. A discerning eye for assessing the reasonableness of model results is of great value.

In this role, interactions with a diverse range of stakeholders are expected, including external clients such as traders, sales teams, risk managers, and institutional investors, as well as internal teams comprising sales specialists, developers, and quants. Strong communication skills are expected to build effective relationships and provide clear explanations of complex concepts.

You'll need to have:

A Master's degree in a technical or quantitative field (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or Quantitative Finance); a PhD or equivalent experience is a plus. Experience in a front-office, financial engineering, or model validation role, with expertise in derivatives and structured products, including pricing, valuation, and risk management. Strong quantitative and analytical skills, with a deep understanding of market conventions, derivative structures, and risk practices. Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to explain complex financial concepts in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

We'd love to see:

Experience with Bloomberg and other pricing platforms, along with knowledge of Python, or C++. * Familiarity with FX or Credit asset classes; while Interest Rates, Inflation, Equities, or other asset classes are also welcome.
