Macquarie is a market leader with a reputation for excellence and innovation, and I joined the company because of its friendly workplace, high standards, and dynamic learning environment.

I work in a team that offers 'over the counter' derivative products to our clients, and most of my time is spent in pricing and developing hedging strategies. I have really enjoyed developing the infrastructure and distribution of our tailored wholesale derivative product, Customised Market Investments. Macquarie is Australia's first domestic institution to offer this kind of product in any scale, which allows us to explore new and exciting opportunities.

The working environment at Macquarie is very flexible, allowing you to choose the direction you wish to take within the business. This means that you can align your best attributes with an appropriate role, and progress accordingly.

I was drawn to Macquarie while still at university because of the extensive opportunities on offer, Macquarie's reputation for innovation, and its culture of recognising and appreciating employees.

Since joining, I have found Macquarie to be a success-oriented company where you are rewarded for the hard work and effort you put in. You have the freedom and flexibility to explore new ideas, and the ability to choose the career path you take.

My day on the structuring desk involves anything from developing new pricing models and tools to working through the tax implications of a proposed strategy, analysing derivative payoffs to meet client needs, investigating financial structures, and liaising closely with the sales desk to satisfy client demands. It is a dynamic environment, and constant challenges are thrown my way.
