Your role

Do you like working in an international, agile, fast changing environment? Are you familiar with risk matters and experienced in quantitative modelling? Do you enjoy working in a highly motivated team that develops and delivers stress testing solutions across the bank? At UBS, we re-imagine the way we work, the way we connect with each other - our colleagues, clients and partners - and the way we deliver value. Being agile will make us more responsive, more adaptable and ultimately more innovative.
We're looking for a Quant Analyst to:
• create, develop, and maintain stress testing models for UBS Group and its local legal entities, and in particular, risk models related to treasury risks such as funding cost, leverage ratio and balance sheet exposure volumes
• use techniques from quantitative risk management, financial mathematics, or econometrics to build stress testing models which are sensitive to systematic and idiosyncratic risk factors,
• implement and test models in R or other programming languages and produce clear documentation
• bring new quantitative modelling ideas to our team to push ahead key projects within UBS
• interact and discuss with key stakeholders (business representatives, senior quants, internal and external control functions, IT and model governance bodies) with the option to participate in industry initiatives
