My client is a premier energy and commodities specialist with a global presence, operating in physical and financial trading, carbon trading, energy infrastructure investment, and risk solutions across all asset classes.

The firm is building out a risk capability for their trading operations in London, and as part of this, is seeking a talented VP level quant, ideally with prior exposure to physical and financial commodity/energy trading, to join a rapidly growing team. This role will focus on the development of market and liquidity risk methodologies, margin/SPAN models, pricing curves, as well as the validation of models developed by the front office.

The role will be dynamic and varied and will provide exposure to all aspects of the firm's commodity trading operations.

The role would suit a quant operating at VP level in a financial institution (bank, hedge fund, commodities house), who is capable of working in an unstructured environment with minimal supervision and has strong Python coding skills. Commodity asset class knowledge will be a significant advantage; however, candidates with knowledge of other asset classes will also be considered if they possess strong technical skills.

We seek individuals from a diverse talent pool and encourage applicants from underrepresented groups to apply to our vacancies. Our commitment to fair recruitment processes means that we welcome applicants from all backgrounds, regardless of their lived experience or personal characteristics. We also invite applicants who meet most of the listed requirements, even if not all, to apply. If you require any adjustments to the application process, please let us know.

Barclay Simpson acts as an Employment Agency for permanent positions and an Employment Business for temporary/contract engagements.
