Full job description Equities Strategist - Prime Services & Delta One (Associate / Vice President)
Role Overview
We are seeking a commercially minded Quantitative Strategist at the Associate to Vice President level to sit close to Structuring and support our broader Equities business, with a primary focus on Prime Services and Delta One. Unlike traditional quantitative roles centred on theoretical model-building, this position is focused on leveraging data to drive commercial outcomes, inform trading decisions, and partner directly with Sales in front of institutional clients.
Key Responsibilities

*Client & Flow Analytics: Use native Python to query, clean, and analyse large datasets covering client behaviour, financing activity, balances, and trading flows to uncover revenue opportunities and wallet-share insights.
*Desk-Facing Pricing & Risk Tools: Design, build, and maintain practical pricing, margining, risk, and trading analytics tools to support day-to-day desk execution and resource optimisation.
*Commercial Storytelling & Client Engagement: Translate complex quantitative outputs into clear, persuasive commercial narratives. Partner closely with Sales and Structuring to prepare bespoke analytical content and attend external client pitches.
*Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a commercial bridge across the front office, working closely with Trading, Sales, Structuring, Technology, and senior stakeholders to deliver rapid, high-impact solutions.


Skills & Experience
*Relevant Experience: 3 to 6 years of front-office quantitative experience (Associate to VP level) as a Strategist or Desk Quant, ideally within Prime Services, Delta One, Equity Finance, Risk, or Desk-Aligned Pricing.
*Technical Proficiency: Strong, production-grade native Python programming skills alongside a solid foundation in mathematics, probability, and statistics.
*Product Knowledge: Practical understanding of linear equity products, swaps, futures, ETFs, and equity financing/prime brokerage mechanics.
*Commercial Acumen & Presence: Proven client-facing experience paired with a sharp commercial mindset. You must possess the executive polish required to present actionable insights concisely to senior internal stakeholders and external portfolio managers.
*Pragmatic Approach: A results-oriented mindset that prioritises speed, usability, and commercial impact. This role is not suited to pure academic researchers or candidates from purely exotic derivatives modelling backgrounds.
