Global travel and work on financial models within the technology sector
This centrally based Cambridge consultancy works with customers across the world to provide highly strategic expertise through their knowledge and understanding of quantitative modelling for financial applications within the telecommunications technology sector. They utilise historical and market data as well as build statistical inferred models to provide insight into complex problems.
They are looking to recruit Master’s or PhDs to join them as analysts, with clear career paths to be promoted into consultant positions.
This role is very collaborative in nature as well as technical, requiring both people skills (communications and presentations) as well as mathematical (statistics, quantitative analyses). Further, due to the wide range of customers, analysts will be required to travel globally and could be 1-2 weeks per month.
Requirements:

  • Excellent academic backgrounds (A* in Maths, Further Maths or Physics (or top IB grades)) followed by a 1st class degree in Maths or Physics from a top ranked university. Applicants should also hold an advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in a highly numerate subject.
  • Extensive numerical modelling skills using statistics or quantitative analysis. Specific experience with financial mathematics is not needed but any exposure would be of interest.
  • Good communication skills. Bilingual speakers (Spanish, German, Arabic or Portuguese) would be desirable.
  • Internship experience in a management consultancy or similar would be beneficial.
    The role is based at offices in Cambridge. However, global travel would be expected on many of the projects the company undertakes, so willingness to travel is required. This could be 25% of the time (or more during busy periods). Please do note all business travel is company expensed.
    Interested candidates do need to reside in / close to Cambridge (long commutes are not well-considered by the company). Further, candidates do need full rights to work in the UK. On offer is an excellent compensation package.
