As a global investor, we are present where our clients most need us – from Hong Kong and Singapore, to Chicago and major European financial hubs.
Created by combining our investment management (LGIM) and asset origination (LGC) capabilities, our Asset Management division works with our Institutional Retirement and Retail divisions to benefit our clients and customers – which include individual savers, pension scheme members and global institutions – and deliver enhanced shareholder returns.
Joining us means becoming part of a market-leading team, with capabilities across the full spectrum of asset classes, with an enduring commitment to responsible investment and creating long-term, sustainable value for our clients and partners.
We’re currently looking for a Risk Analyst to work with investment desks and consumers of risk analytics data to contribute to the risk analytics delivery to the business and drive the discussion between the business, its vendors, and partners. This position is initially a 6 month Fixed Term Contract.
The L&G Asset Management Analytics Solutions team is responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining a firm wide strategic source for instrument, portfolio, and client level risk analytics.
What you'll be doing:
- Working with investment desks and consumers of risk analytics data to contribute to the risk analytics delivery and drive the discussion between the business, its vendors, and partners
- Building an understanding of LGIM current analytics capabilities and solutions; how they are used by various business functions
- Defining a new suite of risk solutions by utilising internal and external solutions
- Working with business users, vendors, and internal IT and Data Teams to evolve the risk analytics product and production framework
- Analysing and testing market risk analytics/reports for the LGIM funds
- Collaborating in the implementation of a new risk platform
Who we're looking for:
- Relevant experience in risk management, analytical or quantitative function, or equivalent
- Be able to demonstrate the ability to drill into analysis to ensure a thorough understanding of the problem and proposed solution
- Be able to demonstrate good verbal and written communication skills and the ability to interact professionally with other subject matter experts
- Knowledge of VaR, volatility, sensitivities, scenario analysis and risk limits
- Experience of SQL, Python and/or APIs (RESTful)
- Experience of working with 3rd party risk engines is advantageous (Axioma Risk, Bloomberg Port or other)
- Experience of the State Street suite of products advantageous
- Ability to work with users to define requirements/solutions
Whatever your role, we reward performance and behaviour with a package that looks after all the things that are important to you. Here are some of the benefits we offer:
- The opportunity to participate in our annual, performance-related bonus plan and valuable share schemes
- Generous pension contribution
- Life assurance
- Private medical insurance (permanent employees only)
- At least 25 days holiday, plus public holidays, 26 days after 2 years’ service. There’s also the option to buy and sell holiday
- Competitive family leave
- Participate in our electric car scheme, which offers employees the option to hire a brand-new electric car through tax efficient salary sacrifice
- There are the many discounts we offer – both for our own products and at a range of high street stores and online
- In 2023, some of our workspaces were redesigned. Our offices are great spaces to connect and collaborate and have your wellbeing at the heart
At L&G, we believe it's possible to generate positive returns today while helping to build a better future for all.
If you join us, you’ll be part of a welcoming, inclusive culture, with opportunities to collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds, views, and experiences. Guided by leaders with integrity who care about your future and wellbeing. Empowered through initiatives which support people to develop their careers and excel.
We care passionately about outcomes rather than attendance and are therefore open to discussing all kinds of flexible working options including part-time, term-time and job shares. Although some roles have limited flexibility due to customer demand, we accommodate requests when we can.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t meet every single criterion in this advert. Instead, think about what you excel at and what else you can bring in terms of strengths, potential and connection to our purpose.
Great news! We will let you know when a new job like this has been added!
