Job ID: 25729 Would you like to join a professional team that identifies, structures, and place risk sharing transactions in the international capital market? We are now looking for a high performing database quant to work with these complex transactions that increase capital velocity and optimise Nordea's balance sheet. About this opportunity Welcome to Group Structuring! We identify, structure and execute risk sharing and capital enhancing transactions in the form of significant risk transfers (SRTs). SRTs are securitisations where the credit risk associated with a portfolio of exposures is tranched, payments in the transaction are dependent upon the performance of the underlying portfolio and the subordination of tranches determines the distribution of losses. Investors agree to cover a pre-agreed amount of incurred credit losses related to the reference portfolio, structured in accordance with the relevant regulations so that Significant Risk Transfer (SRT) is achieved.

This creates strong feedback loops to the origination of new transactions You will be working with highly skilled, experienced, and motivated colleagues in a constantly changing informal and transparent environment. This offers great opportunities and forms the basis for accelerated further development.
