A Madrid-based investment analytics team is hiring a hands-on Quant Team Lead to combine deep mathematical modelling with day-to-day leadership of a small team.
This is not a "manager-only" job. You’ll build models, validate assumptions, work in Python + SQL, and still be the person who sets the technical standard, coaches others, and helps the team deliver decision-grade outputs under real deadlines.
Location: Madrid (Hybrid) - typically 3 days/week in-office.
What you’ll do

Lead the analytics delivery on live valuation / portfolio analysis work (hands-on modelling + ownership).
Mentor and level-up analysts: technical reviews, modelling best practice, quality control, and clearer communication.
Improve quantitative models used for valuation, forecasting, and risk/sensitivity analysis.
Turn messy datasets into reliable outputs (data QA, reconciliation, controls, repeatable pipelines).
Run scenario analysis / stress testing and clearly explain key drivers of value and risk.
Present your findings to senior stakeholders (committee-style conversations) and defend assumptions calmly.
Improve how the team works: templates, documentation, automation, and model governance.

What we’re looking for (must-haves)

Strong mathematical/quant foundation (e.g.,



Maths/Stats/Physics/Engineering/Quant Finance/Econometrics).
Proven experience in quantitative finance / risk / valuation / portfolio analytics (credit risk, asset valuation, model validation, treasury/ALM, derivatives/structured products, etc.).
Strong Python (pandas + modelling workflow) and SQL (real datasets, performance/accuracy, QA checks).
Leadership signal: team lead/manager/project lead, or clear evidence of mentoring/coaching and quality ownership.
Able to work at pace and produce decision-grade analysis (clear thinking, pragmatic modelling, strong judgement).

Nice to have

Time series, simulation (Monte Carlo), optimisation, or ML applied pragmatically.
Experience building robust analytics tooling (pipelines, controls, dashboards).

Why this role (Madrid)

A rare mix of serious quant depth + leadership without leaving the modelling behind.
High-impact work where your analysis directly supports real investment decisions.
A team environment that values mathematical rigour, clear reasoning, and strong collaboration.
