Who you'll work with

Market Risk Management is a multi-disciplinary financial derivatives team that applies quantitative methods and technology to highly dynamic work. Our mandate includes managing complex retirement and insurance product risks through portfolio hedging, research and development, modeling, analytics, controls, and management reporting. We operate within a larger organization while maintaining a collaborative and entrepreneurial working environment.

The Market Risk Management team supports fixed index annuity, index universal life, registered index-linked annuity, and other retirement and insurance products. These products contain complex embedded derivatives that require expertise in derivatives, financial engineering, insurance products, capital markets, data, and risk communication. We are looking for a flexible resource who can work across our Trading, Quantitative Engineering, and Reporting functions as priorities and workloads change.

Market Risk Management seeks a talented, detail-oriented quantitative professional who can operate across portfolio support, model implementation and research, and risk reporting and analytics. The successful candidate will help connect market data, models, portfolio decisions, operating controls, and stakeholder communication. This role is intended for an individual who enjoys moving between real-time portfolio questions, analytical development, and disciplined production reporting.


Responsibilities

  • Support daily derivatives portfolio monitoring, hedging decisions, scenario analysis, exposure review, and detailed performance or attribution analysis.
  • Build, modify, and implement valuation, hedging, simulation, and balance sheet risk models for annuity and insurance products.
  • Conduct historical analysis, back-testing, sensitivity testing, and quantitative research to support new and existing hedging strategies.
  • Produce timely portfolio, risk, attribution, and management reporting, connecting results to markets, positions, models, hedge activity, product features, and data quality.
  • Automate and strengthen data, reporting, reconciliation, exception-handling, documentation, and operating-control processes.
  • Rotate across trading, quant, and reporting assignments based on business priorities, acting as a bridge among portfolio managers, model developers, reporting professionals, technology partners, and stakeholders.
  • Stay current on financial markets, derivatives products, insurance industry developments, and hedging practices.

Skills & Qualifications

  • Master's degree in financial engineering, quantitative finance, mathematics, statistics, engineering, computer science, or a related field is strongly preferred.
  • Typically 3+ years of relevant experience in financial services, derivatives, quantitative research, risk management, trading, asset-liability management, portfolio analytics, or financial software.
  • Strong knowledge of financial instruments and derivatives, including valuation, risk measures, market data, and hedging concepts.
  • Strong programming skills in Python and SQL; experience with Oracle, C/C++, scientific computing, or high-performance computing is beneficial.
  • Experience sourcing and validating financial data from relational databases and commercial platforms such as Bloomberg.
  • Competence in statistical or econometric analysis, simulation, back-testing, data reconciliation, and interpretation of financial results.
  • Knowledge of annuity product design, embedded derivatives, asset and derivative valuation models, balance sheet risk, or ALM is preferred.
  • Relevant professional designations or progress toward CFA, FRM, ASA/FSA, or CQF are beneficial.
  • Able to perform in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift quickly and multiple deadlines must be managed.
  • Detail and process oriented, with a strong appreciation for operational controls, model governance, data quality, and documentation.
  • Enjoys working on a multi-disciplinary team to solve analytically complex problems and communicates effectively with both technical and wider audiences.
