• Create new products – primarily based on derivatives

• Enhance existing products

• Reverse-engineer product ideas seen in the market

• Create ideas for the Sales teams to engage the interest of customers

• Listen to customers’ issues, and create a product or solution tailored to that customer

• Provide term sheets and materials to support the sales effort.

• Assist the front office Quants/Traders with modeling/execution of ideas
