Commodities (Coal and Oil) Product Control, AVP, Trading Floor recruitment
The role is far more high profile than other AVP level Product Control positions in the city in that the candidate will be the major interface between the Product Control team and the Desk, in addition to managing the PL Production process. The candidate will also be key in leading projects that are focused around the relationship with the Desk, Risk Migration and new product approvals.
The candidate can expect to work towards a VP level position that will be available due to ongoing departmental growth. That is if the candidate is against a move in to the Front Office, something that is certainly achievable due to the individuals status and level of interaction with the Desk and Senior Management within this role (should they prove to be a success).
We are looking for Product Controllers that have a strong PL (Product Control or Middle Office) background. It is not a necessity to come from a Commodities background, however, you must have very strong Options product knowledge if that is the case.. This is a Middle Office role with a remit beyond pure PL and for that reason, we do not require qualified Accountants for the role, although it would be seen as an advantage.
