Quantitative analyst for Risk Modelling

In this role, you will develop risk measures and valuation models based on thorough data analysis and market intelligence. You will gain valuable experience in modelling energy markets and learn how these models enable best in class risk management.

More specifically, your responsibilities include:

• performing ad hoc analyses to support new business cases
• developing quantitative analyses with Risk Management colleagues
• improving and maintaining the team’s quantitative model library
• conducting model validation and back testing to ensure high standards

You will join our Risk Modelling team, which works with modelling risk drivers and exposures in the company’s portfolio of products. The role of the team is to support the Market Risk Management team in controlling and managing the wide range of risks in our global portfolio. To ensure proper risk management, we have the responsibility to keep our models up to date with developments in the markets and the business, and to support the Risk Control team in analysing significant changes in the daily reports.

We are a team of five skilled specialists in quantitative risk modeling. We collaborate closely, believe no task is impossible if we put our collective minds to it, and embrace curiosity and continuous learning – even when it means learning from mistakes.

As you will be working in a complex domain, we are looking for an innovative colleague who likes taking responsibility. You will drive your own projects, and we see you as someone who always takes an interest in moving the team forward and helping where needed. As data analysis and model development is a big part of your role, we also picture you as an analytical and curious team player.

Furthermore, we imagine that you:

• hold a master’s degree or higher in Economics, Finance, Mathematics or a related field
• have experience with Python, .NET, SQL or similar – or is keen to learn
• are curious and motivated to explore the energy markets
• are proficient in English – both written and spoken 

Please note that prior knowledge of the energy sector is not required for this role.
