Overview

As a Manager you will be responsible for managing a portfolio of projects and for the timely delivery of services. You will work closely and support Directors and Partners with engagements. You will be expected to contribute toward marketing and business development initiatives.

You will be involved in a range of valuation and advisory engagements relating to financial products (derivatives and cash based) across all asset classes that will include both contentious and non-contentious matters. Such engagements will also include risk related matters such as the modelling of default risk.

You will also assist with the development of valuation models and modelling techniques for financial assets ranging from complex derivatives and structured products to other hard to value instruments that are complex due to illiquidity or a lack of observable market data inputs.

You'll be someone with:

  • Master's degree in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering or Computer Science from a reputable university.
  • Strong professional interest in the fields of finance and financial instrument valuation, hedging and structuring.
  • Significant valuation or credit risk experience gained ideally from a major financial institution or another professional services firm.
  • Intellectual curiosity and an analytical mind-set.
  • An interest in applying tools from finance, mathematics, and data science to provide pragmatic and robust solutions to real-world problems.

You'll be able to be yourself; we'll recognise and value you for who you are and celebrate and reward your contributions to the business. We're committed to agile working, and we offer everyone the opportunity to work in ways that suit them, their teams, and the task in hand.

At BDO, we'll help you achieve your personal goals and career ambitions, and we have programmes, resources, and frameworks that provide clarity and structure around career development.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department
