About the Role

This role suits those with a bias towards action and impact, who believe in end to end execution and accountability. You are the perfect mix of analytical, technical, operational, and creative.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in mathematics, computer science, engineering or a related field
• 1–3 years of experience in data analytics, risk management, or a comparable analytical role
• Strong quantitative and problem-solving skills, with the ability to communicate complex findings clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Solid grounding in financial risk methodologies including Value-at-Risk, stress testing, scenario analysis, and attribution modeling
• Understanding of macroeconomics, financial markets, financial instruments, trading strategies, and investment theory
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python
• Ability to build and own process from the ground up
• Demonstrated ability to design and own end-to-end processes in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
