Quantitative Risk Analyst (f/m/d)Quantitative Risk Analyst (f/m/d)
Job description
Responsibilities
- Work in a highly experienced, collaborative, international, fun team that sits at the heart of E.ON’s new energy trading and procurement unit.
- Help shape the quantitative risk management function for a fast-growing trading portfolio spanning power, gas, options,, complex financial and physical derivatives, and structured customer business.
- Take end-to-end ownership of models: from idea and research, through prototype, to robust, cloud-native production implementation.
- Develop, maintain, and enhance quantitative risk and pricing models for market, credit, and liquidity risk, including simulation and valuation tools for complex energy portfolios.
- Design and run Monte Carlo and scenario simulations (e.g. for P&L, exposure, stress and what-if analyses) to support decision-making on transaction, portfolio, and business level.
- Implement models and analytics in Python as part of a modern cloud-native stack (e.g. Azure, containerized services, Snowflake-based data platform), following clean code and DevOps practices (Git, CI/CD, testing).
- Use and further develop data-driven and ML-inspired approaches (e.g. time series models, tree-based models, regularization, feature engineering) where they add value to risk management and pricing.
- Closely collaborate with Trading, Market and Credit Risk, Finance and Tech in agile projects to solve real business problems and deliver tangible value.
- Translate complex quantitative concepts into clear, actionable messages for senior, non-technical, and executive stakeholders and continuously explore new methods and research in risk modelling, quantitative finance and data science – and bring the most useful ideas into our production landscape.
- Mentor juniors, working students and interns, helping them grow their quantitative, coding and business skills.
What you bring
- A Master’s or PhD in a quantitative field (Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Financial Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or similar).
- 3+ years of experience in quantitative risk modelling, valuation, or pricing – energy trading experience is a strong plus, but we’re also open to candidates from other asset classes with genuine interest in power & gas.
- Strong Python skills and experience with the scientific stack (NumPy, pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn or similar). You write clean, production-grade code, not just notebooks.
- Solid understanding of stochastic processes, Monte Carlo simulation, and time series analysis; familiarity with derivative pricing, valuation and risk metrics (e.g. VaR, ES, sensitivities) is highly welcome.
- Practical exposure to data-driven / ML techniques for forecasting, scenario generation or model calibration is a plus.
- Experience working with databases and cloud / data platforms (SQL, Snowflake, Azure, or similar) is a plus.
- Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with a pragmatic mindset and strong attention to detail.
- A self-starter, hands-on mindset: you enjoy taking ownership, working in cross-functional teams and driving topics from idea to implementation in a dynamic environment.
- Willingness to work collaboratively: Pair coding, Code reviews
- Very good communication skills in English (German and Italian are a plus) and the ability to explain complex topics to non-quants.
To keep you motivated and healthy we are offering you the following benefits:
- Flexibility: hybrid work model, flexible working times, sabbatical or additional vacation opportunities allowing great work-life balance
- Working from abroad: up to 20 days in the European economic area
- Flat hierarchies: interdisciplinary and very cooperative working style providing room for own ideas
- Modern work environment: workplace according to digital and ergonomic standards
- Personal growth: life-long independent learning making use of a broad range of opportunities working with the newest technology and state of the art trainings
- Family service support: services in the areas of childcare, holiday care, nursing support or everyday assistance
- Nutrition & Health: wide selection of fresh meals and drinks in our subsidized bistro and canteen as well as various health offers (e.g. physiotherapy, flu vaccinations, mental health)
- Corporate Benefits: employee share program, pension scheme, employee discounts, special insurances (and much more)
- A central location: very good public transport connection, free parking and charging points for e-vehicles
- Individual mobility: private car and bicycle leasing
