Are you a final-year student with a passion for numbers, financial modelling, and risk? EY’s Financial Services Risk Management (FSRM) team is looking for a Graduate Quant Associate to join their high-performing practice in Mauritius. This is your opportunity to launch your quantitative career at one of the world’s most respected professional services firms.
About EY and the FSRM Team
EY is a global leader in Assurance, Consulting, Strategy and Transactions, and Tax services. Within Africa, the FSRM team has grown to over 100 specialists across four locations — Johannesburg, Cape Town, Lagos, and Mauritius. The team brings together actuarial scientists, quantitative analysts, and financial risk specialists who collaborate across the EMEIA region to deliver tailored, cutting-edge solutions to some of Africa’s top financial institutions.
Joining this team means stepping into a rapidly growing environment where risk, transformation, and innovation intersect. You will work alongside leading banking professionals, sharpen your technical edge, and build a career with real global reach.
What You Will Do
As a Graduate Quant Associate, you will gain hands-on exposure across several specialist practice areas. In financial derivative valuation, you will support the bulk valuation of vanilla financial instruments, the valuation of complex derivative portfolios, and the identification and valuation of embedded derivatives in structured deals. You will also assist in reviewing interest rate term structure models, assessing hedge effectiveness, and measuring and reporting risk sensitivities.
In the employee share option pricing space, you will contribute to the development of valuation models for employee share schemes and assist in pricing embedded options in various transactions. Within the credit risk modelling and stress testing area, you will support credit risk modelling across retail, SME, and large corporate asset classes, work on IFRS 9 models including PD, LGD, EAD, SICR, FLI, and ECL, and contribute to regulatory and economic capital modelling. You will also create data visualisations that generate meaningful insights for clients.
Who EY Is Looking For
EY is seeking final-year students or recent graduates who hold, or are completing, a BCom or BSc in Actuarial Science, Financial Engineering, Risk Management, Mathematics, Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline. A minimum overall academic average of 65% is required.
Beyond academic performance, EY values mindset as much as qualifications. You should bring an agile, growth-oriented approach to your work — someone who sees opportunity where others see challenges, asks better questions, and pursues better answers. An inclusive attitude and the ability to collaborate across diverse teams are equally important.
What EY Offers You
EY invests meaningfully in its graduates. You can expect accelerated technical and leadership development through future-focused training programmes, exposure to highly integrated global teams, and continuous investment in your personal wellbeing and career growth. EY also provides study leave for AIA/FIA or other approved professional qualifications, along with fully funded EY-approved professional courses under the EY education loan scheme.
You will receive coaching and feedback from experienced colleagues, the freedom to manage your role in a way that works for you, and a competitive remuneration package that rewards both individual and team performance.
