Location: London / Hybrid
Salary: Competitive + Bonus & Benefits
Role Type: Permanent
Are you an experienced Valuation Control / IPV professional looking to transition your deep equity derivatives knowledge into a dynamic, product-focused role?
On behalf of a fast-growing, market-leading financial technology and pricing services provider, we are seeking a Senior Product Analyst with a strong investment banking background to manage, design, and expand Independent Price Verification (IPV) services across financial asset classes, with a specific focus on Equity Derivatives (including Exotic structures).

You will drive day-to-day service delivery, refine pricing methodologies, and help design next-generation valuation services for complex OTC derivatives.
