Front Office Operational Risk Associate – Rates recruitment

My client is looking for someone who has experience of working in an Investment Banking environment and understands the front to back trading processes, especially in relation to Interest Rate products (although other product experience will be considered). Exposure to a Front Office environment will also be important due to the nature of the people you will be facing off to and be challenged by.

In addition to this the candidate must have experience in not only identifying controls, but also implementing them as well.

Additional responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

- Developing and implementing Front Office KPIs and KRIs.

- Assessing and defining Front Office controls as a result of strategic projects.

- Ensure that these controls are properly executed.

- Perform risk self assessments of the FI processes where risks have been identified.

- Contribute to the training, best practices and knowledge sharing sessions to related business functions.

Candidate requirements:

- 3 years+ Investment Banking experience.

- Experience in Operational Risk, Banking Internal Audit or other controls related positions.

- Exposure to Interest Rates products. Alternative asset classes will be considered.

- Experience facing of to the Front Office or confident enough to face off to this part of the business.

- Demonstratable evidence of controls implementation within a bank.

- Team player.

My client has performed particularly well throughout the credit crunch and due to the nature of where this role is positioned you will be eligible for excellent Front Office bonuses.
