The posting

Your role

As a Senior Manager in Counterparty Credit Risk (CCR) and XVA at Zanders, you will join our global Financial Institutions team in London. Your remit is to lead quantitative traded risk engagements across CCR, XVA and the high-performance computing (HPC) that underpins them, working in multidisciplinary teams to solve complex problems and deliver models clients can implement.

On projects, you will work alongside our international group of 100+ Financial Institutions consultants to design, develop, implement, test and validate models across the trading book spectrum: market risk, CCR, CVA and wider XVA, initial- and variation-margin models, and derivatives pricing.

You will also help grow the business, contributing to sales in the CCR, XVA and HPC space. You can build on your existing UK network and expand it over time.

As a Senior Manager you act as a career coach, responsible for the development of up to three direct reports, supporting them on project work and across their broader career journey.

Your influence will be substantial. You will carry a markedly higher level of responsibility than is typical in other consulting firms, and will help drive the business forward from day one.

Skills to be successful:

  • 8–10 years in CCR and XVA model development and analytics, ideally including consultancy, with a track record of leading teams, complex projects and non-trivial systems end to end.
  • Master’s or PhD degree in mathematics, physics, statistics, econometrics, computer science, engineering, or related quantitative field.
  • A strong interest in the quantification of CCR, XVA and the HPC methods that support them, together with a working understanding of the relevant regulatory frameworks: SA-CCR and IMM for exposure, the CVA capital framework (BA-CVA / SA-CVA), and margin standards (UMR / SIMM).
  • Up-to-date knowledge of industry and regulatory developments across traded risk topics: market risk, CCR, XVA, margin models and derivatives pricing.
  • Strong proficiency in modern C++ (STL, templates, RAII, unit testing, build systems); Python and/or Java a plus.
  • Strong working knowledge of Linux as a development and deployment platform (shell, toolchains, profiling, resource/performance diagnostics).
  • Solid understanding of derivatives pricing across asset classes (rates, FX, credit, equity) and the underlying numerical methods (Monte Carlo, PDE/finite-difference).
  • Experience with market and CCR (e.g. xVA, sensitivities/Greeks, VaR/expected shortfall).
  • Experience with open-source quant tooling (Strata, QuantLib, ORE) is an advantage.
  • Hands-on HPC experience: Parallel/concurrent programming (multithreading, multiprocessing, synchronization, concurrent data structures). GPU compute with CUDA, including GPU architecture (memory hierarchy, warps, occupancy, host–device transfers); ROCm/HIP a plus. Writing and optimizing compute kernels: profiling (e.g. Nsight/NCompute), memory-access optimization, throughput/latency tuning. Scaling workloads across clusters (e.g. MPI, Slurm).
  • Ability to translate mathematical and financial concepts into efficient, production-grade code.
  • Fluent spoken and written English, strong communication skills and a growth mindset.

We offer:

  • A hybrid work environment, that promotes a healthy work-life balance,
  • Participation in the Zanders bonus scheme,
  • Secure your future with a pension scheme,
  • 28 paid holiday days,
  • A laptop and an iPhone,
  • An entrepreneurial culture that values personal development, with ample room for initiatives,
  • Expertise in your chosen field, building skills rapidly alongside diverse clients and consultants,
  • A truly collegiate environment with enthusiastic and helpful colleagues, fostering career excellence in Treasury, Risk or Technology,
  • An international and fun working environment, Cultural night events, annual Zanders's trip to a (surprise) location in Europe and many more exciting experiences to come!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
