Position Overview

Within TDS, the Quantitative Modeling and Analytics (QMA) team builds valuation models and front-office intraday pricing/risk toolsets and provides desk strategy support to the Fixed Income Currencies and Commodities business units.

This headcount will provide crucial local support to several trading and sales businesses, including G10 currencies, Sovereign, Supranational, and Agency bonds (SSA bonds) and Emerging Markets. The tools managed by this headcount are used heavily on a global level, across the International Fixed Income (IFI) and Global Foreign Exchange (FX) businesses. The traders rely on the pricing and risk toolsets for intraday valuations and Sales require these tools to execute deals for clients.

The UQL-based spreadsheets require significant support to build and maintain. Moreover, this headcount is essential to investigate and remediate production issues in the Transparency suite and Valuation Services. These valuation systems are integrated with the Unified Quant Library (UQL) and quant support is necessary to resolve such issues and minimize business impact.

This headcount is also needed to enable adherence with the End User Computing (EUC) Standard. This headcount will implement appropriate EUC controls for several key end-user tools.
