Derivatives professionals require accurate valuations to assess risk and move with confidence. We provide an integrated solution for every step of the derivatives workflow, across all asset classes. Our models are fed with high quality data giving you the context you need, so you can trade confidently and stay ahead of the markets.
What's the role? You will be joining a specialized area of Bloomberg that concentrates on offering premium structuring, valuation and risk services to our clients including cross-asset, flexible, customizable tools and models that illustrate valuation transparency.
Your familiarity with bespoke derivatives term sheets, and the industry standard valuation models and "street practices" used for security valuation and portfolio risk analysis will allow you to successfully contribute to the team. Valuation will rely heavily on the appropriate choice and use of pricing models (combined with appropriate adjustments when necessary). Your ability to assess if the model results are reasonable is essential.
You will also be responsible for maintaining and upgrading the (off-terminal) OTC pricing platform jointly with the IT department of the firm. Familiarity with Python and Javascript in a professional environment are essential.
As a member of the team, you will have regular contact with clients and will be working with various people from external clients (traders, sales, buy side, institutional investors), and internal sales specialists, to developers and quants.
You'll need to have:
3+ years of relevant work experience*
Master's degree or equivalent experience
Experience working as a trader within the Derivatives space
Demonstrated experience developing Python/Javascript libraries for financial applications in a professional environment
Prior work experience at a dealer, or at other relevant financial institutions, in financial engineering, quantitative modeling or structuring of OTC Derivatives/Structured Notes
Hands-on knowledge of C++ and C#
Master's Degree or PhD in STEM or Quantitative Finance
Experience using Bloomberg, and other derivative pricing platforms
Experience working as a trader
Strong written and verbal communication skills
Ability to work in a fast-paced, complex and cross-asset environment
Ability to work with multiple groups across reporting lines
