Nga Korero mo tenei turanga / About the role
As an Asia Pacific Centre of Excellence, the MVD (Market Value Direct) team focuses on supporting clients and audit teams across the region by estimating appropriate valuations on their financial instruments – from simple equity holdings to complex structured products.
Many of PwC's clients hold financial instruments – equities, debt, derivatives, etc. The problem is, it helps to have an independent view on the value of these transactions. Whether it's estimating the valuation impact of credit risk, capturing the impact of complex terms or managing poor or non-existent input data, this can be a real challenge and that's where clients turn to PwC's MVD team for help.
We are looking for a Senior Associate to join our MVD team. This is a permanent, full-time opportunity, minimum 37.5 hours per week. As a Senior Associate, you will deliver valuations and other quantitative engagements to clients and audit teams. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
Performing valuations of financial instruments - ranging from simple to complex structures.
Supporting the delivery of quantitative engagements to clients - including model reviews, market risk services, and regulatory assessments.
Coaching junior staff members in relation to market best practice for financial instrument valuation techniques.
Liaising closely with clients and audit teams to ensure efficient delivery of engagements.
Peer reviewing workings and reports completed by other team members to ensure quality outputs are produced.
Nga pukenga kei a koe / Skills and experience
3+ years of professional experience for a financial or professional services firm.
Significant understanding of financial instruments with practical experience in the valuation of derivatives.
Tertiary qualification(s) in a quantitative field - for example Maths, Engineering, Physics, Finance or Accounting.
An ability to successfully deliver multiple engagements concurrently.
Attention to detail and ability to self-check or check workings of others to ensure quality delivery of output and service.
Some coding knowledge (e.g. Python, VBA etc) is preferred.
Strong communication skills, with an ability to collaborate effectively within a team environment, in addition to being able to successfully convey engagement progress, issues arising, and observations to various stakeholders.
