As a Barclays Quantitative Analyst in Macro Rates, you will be part of the Global Quantitative group (QA) responsible for the research, development and implementation of quantitative models for interest rates and FX Flow products.

Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.
