Structured Finance and Mortgages - Data and Modelling Analyst

Structured Finance and Modelling - Data & Modelling Analyst

Location: London

Salary: Competitive + Excellent Benefits

Type: Permanent

Miryco Consultants is working with a leading UK insurance and asset management business that is expanding its European Structured Finance and Mortgages team. They are looking for a Data & Modelling Analyst to join a specialist investment team focused on securitised products and granular loan portfolios.

This is an excellent opportunity for a data-driven analyst to work directly within an investment environment, applying their technical and quantitative skills to real-world investment opportunities and portfolio management.

You will play a key role in the analysis of new investment opportunities, working closely with experienced investment professionals across structured finance and mortgages.

• Cleansing, manipulating and summarising large investment data sets and loan-level data tapes.
• Analysing loan-level time-series data to produce vintage and time-series analysis of defaults, recoveries, prepayments and other portfolio characteristics.
• Combining and aggregating data from multiple sources to identify patterns, correlations and trends.
• Deriving modelling assumptions from underlying portfolio data.
• Building loan-level cash flow and other time-series models.
• Developing tools and processes to improve the efficiency of investment analysis.
• Examining opportunities to automate existing booking processes.
• Developing management information and portfolio monitoring tools.
• Clearly communicating analytical methods, findings and conclusions to investment professionals and senior stakeholders.

We're looking for a highly analytical individual with experience working with large datasets and quantitative models. You may come from a financial, scientific, mathematical or other data-heavy environment – a financial services background is advantageous but not essential
.

You should have:

• Strong experience using Excel, VBA, Python, SQL or similar tools to manipulate and analyse large datasets.
• Experience building cash flow, time-series or other quantitative models.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• The ability to take complex data and present findings in a clear and concise way.
• Good attention to detail and a structured approach to problem solving.
• Basic Word and PowerPoint skills.
• The ability to work independently and take ownership of your own work.
• The curiosity to identify knowledge gaps and proactively develop your technical and financial understanding.

This is a particularly interesting opportunity for someone who enjoys data, modelling and problem solving but wants to apply those skills directly within an investment environment
.

You'll work alongside experienced investment professionals and gain exposure to structured finance, mortgages, securitised products and granular loan portfolios. The role offers the opportunity to have a genuine impact on how investment opportunities are analysed and how portfolio management processes are developed and automated.

If you're a technically strong analyst looking to move closer to investment decision-making, we'd be keen to hear from you.
