Our Quants team are working with complex and advanced modelling and we're looking for someone ready for a new challenge to join the Chicago team.
The Manager Quantitative Risk Management is responsible for developing Risk/Pricing Models that evaluate counterparty exposures to the Clearing House. These include models related to Pricing, Value-at-Risk, Stress Testing, Liquidity, Regulatory Capital, & also developing tools for Portfolio Analytics. The incumbent also works to develop strategies to perform back-testing to ensure the adequacy of margin coverage & model assumptions.

Principal Accountabilities:
  • Conduct empirical studies and make recommendations on margin levels, modeling issues, and other risk-mitigation measures. Ensure that the model is up to date with the proven theories in the field.
  • Design and develop pricing and risk models across different various asset classes like Fixed Income Cash and Derivatives, OTC and Exchange-traded Futures and Options (e.g. Pricing, VaR, Backtest, Stress, Liquidity, etc.).
  • Ensure risk models meet the risk appetite across varying needs for coverage, ant-procyclicality as well as provide transparency, replicability and what-if capabilities.
  • Ability to do hands on programming in C++/Java, SQL as well as Cloud based platforms and work with financial developers and technology to deploy, test and continuously improve the models within the Production Infrastructure of CME.
  • Document and present results to Sr. Management, Risk Committees as well as regulators and end clients; work with internal and external model validators for governance needs.
These tasks apply at an individual contributor level, as well as a team supervisor and project manager because they entail mentoring junior quantitative and financial developers.
For instance, the successful candidate will be ultimately responsible for the long-term modelling strategy, and for the architecture of the development library (supported by a quantitative developer).
Qualifications

Academic skills:
  • probability theory (including stochastic processes)
  • statistics (time series analysis, process estimation)

  • Fixed Income financial mathematics

Experience:
  • 6+ years of experience in pricing complex derivatives and performing advanced statistical analysis on underlying risk factors.
  • Very strong expertise (3+ years) with Bond Mathematics, Fixed income Pricing and Risk modeling as well as with team management
  • 3+ years in developing risk models (e.g. Historical VaR, Monte Carlo VaR, Multi-Factor Risk Models, Stressed VaR, and Liquidity Risk models) as well as model evaluation techniques (backtesting, sensitivity analysis, coverage statistics, etc.)
  • Experience providing theoretical justifications of risk models, for internal as well as external stakeholders. Also experience in developing risk model transparency and what-if analytics for risk managers, end users and regulatory stakeholders alike.
  • Experience in writing model documentation and technical presentations
The following would also be considered a plus:
  • Experience in developing the type of risk models used by clearing houses and market risk teams
  • Experience with modern OO libraries, implementing pricing or risk frameworks

  • Proficiency in programming languages such as C++, Python, VBA and SQL is essential.
