Hays are excited to be working with a leading Asset Management firm to hire a junior/ graduate to work within their Fixed Income Quant research team. Working within a small team and reporting to the Head of Quant Research, you will have the opportunity to learn from some very experienced and intelligent colleagues. This opportunity will give you a fantastic insight into the world of asset management and, more so, will give you a great start to your financial services career. Although initially for 6 months, there may be opportunities elsewhere in the firm once this position is complete. Furthermore, there could be the possibility of an extension (depending on the needs).

You will help the team prepare and develop quantitative tools and models and be responsible for the analysis of quantitative data.

We are seeking a candidate with a very strong academic background, ideally from a Mathematical, Quantitative finance, Computer Science, Engineering or Scientific background. You will need to have a keen interest in financial markets, and it would be preferable to have some kind of work experience in this field (such as an internship), if not covered certain financial modules in your degree/ masters.

To apply, it is essential that you are able to use Python as there is likely to be some form of test involved in the interview process (experience from university is acceptable).

For more information, please apply asap as we are looking for profiles before the end of April.
