Senior Analyst/Manager- Valuation

We are looking for a Senior Analyst/Manager to join our Valuation team. In this role, you will build, calibrate, and maintain pricing models across complex asset classes — including credit default swaps (CDS), interest rate swaps (IRS), fixed income bonds, and inflation swaps  and independently verify the fair value of client portfolios against market and model benchmarks. This is a high-visibility, individual-contributor role with direct exposure to trading desks, risk managers, and fund controllers at our client organizations, and with room to grow into a review/mentoring capacity

What you'll do: 

• Design, build, and maintain independent pricing models for CDS, IRS, government and corporate bonds, and inflation swaps (zero-coupon and year-on-year), incorporating appropriate curve construction, discounting, and day-count conventions.
• Perform daily, weekly, and month-end Independent Price Verification (IPV) by comparing internal/front-office marks against independent market data sources (e.g., Bloomberg BVAL, IHS Markit, ICE Data Services, Refinitiv) and internally derived model prices.
• Investigate and resolve pricing breaks and tolerance exceptions; document root causes, assumptions, and remediation in line with the firm's valuation policy. Provide explanation of PNL attributable to different components of pricing.
• Calibrate and stress-test yield curves, credit curves (hazard-rate stripping), and inflation curves used across the pricing library; validate model outputs against theoretical and market benchmarks.
• Prepare valuation reserve and fair-value hierarchy (ASC 820 / IFRS 13) analysis and support quarterly valuation committee packs for client funds.
• Partner with trading, risk, product control, and technology teams to enhance and automate the valuation model library, improving accuracy, coverage, and turnaround time.
• Support internal and external audit, regulatory, and client due-diligence requests by providing clear, well-documented explanations of pricing methodology.
• Contribute to process improvement and automation initiatives, including migrating manual valuation workflows to Python/SQL-based tooling.
• Rates & Credit Derivatives: Interest rate swaps, basis swaps, swaptions, credit default swaps (single-name and index), total return swaps.
• Inflation Products: Zero-coupon and year-on-year inflation swaps, inflation-linked bonds.
• Fixed Income: Government and corporate bonds, floating rate notes, convertible bonds, and other cash instruments.

What you'll need: 

• 3–6 years of experience in valuation, independent price verification, product control, or quantitative risk — at an investment bank, hedge fund, asset manager, fund administrator, or independent valuation vendor.
• Strong working knowledge and application of
