Ngā Kōrero mo tēnei tūranga / About the role
As a 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.
As a Manager or Senior Manager, you will execute and lead significant engagements in relation to financial instrument valuations and quantitative consulting services. This is a full-time opportunity minimum 37.5 working hours per week. Your day-to-day responsibilities will include:
