Key Responsibilities

• Building and implementing quantitative models to support pricing, valuation, and risk assessment across asset-backed and structured finance investments.

• Developing and enhancing analytical tools and systems used to store, process, and monitor investment-related data.
• Working closely with investment, risk, and operations teams to optimise deal structures and maintain robust monitoring frameworks.
• Tracking market movements, regulatory changes, and sector trends to provide insights and recommendations to senior stakeholders.
• Supporting the full investment cycle, from origination and underwriting through to ongoing performance reviews and committee updates.
• Collaborating with colleagues across the wider investment platform to share knowledge and drive best practice.

What We’re Looking For

• Master’s or PhD in Mathematics, Statistics, Physics, Engineering, or another quantitative discipline.
• At least 3 years’ experience in asset-backed finance, structured credit, quantitative analysis, data science, or credit risk.
• Strong experience working with granular loan-level datasets across consumer, SME, real estate, or receivables portfolios.
• Proficiency in Python and a strong command of statistical and financial modelling techniques.
• A solid understanding of asset-backed finance structures and market dynamics.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and strong attention to detail.
• Ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
• A proactive, high-ownership mindset suited to a fast-paced investment environment.
