We have a significant presence in the worlds capital markets, investing in a wide range of companies and financial instruments in both developed and developing economies.

We are looking for candidates to join the Treasury function within our Financial Research group in Hyderabad or Bengaluru. The team is responsible for structuring the optimal financing of our investment portfolios, maintaining the firm’s financing relationships, managing fund capital usage, and reducing non-market risks.

WHAT YOULL DO DAY-TO-DAY:

In this role, you will work alongside the global Treasury team to deliver complex analytics and financial modeling projects.

As part of this work, you will build, enhance, and maintain Excel and Python-based models and analytical tools to support financing optimization, stress-scenario analysis, and pricing negotiations. You will also perform user acceptance testing (UAT) and validation of model outputs to ensure accuracy and reliability. Additionally, you will develop dashboards and data visualization panels using proprietary and commonly used analytical frameworks. You will contribute to regulatory scenario analysis, including constructing sample portfolios and comparing outcomes under varying assumptions. In parallel, you will also support day-to-day Treasury workflows—such as securities lending, cash management, alternative funding facilities, monitoring Uncleared Margin Rules and debit agreements, and counterparty risk monitoring – while collaborating closely with technology and other Financial Research teams to streamline data sourcing, reporting, and workflow automation.
