Product Control – Fixed Income, Commodities and Treasury (Analyst) recruitment
Our client is looking for a highly numerate, focussed candidate with both independent and team working ability, as well as easily demonstrable communication/interpersonal skills.
This is a fantastic opportunity to consolidate product controls skills in a fast paced and highly desirable environment. Due to the nature of this role and the high number of applications they always receive, it is imperative that candidates have existing product control knowledge (2 years) and a huge desire to work in the area. Whilst the products dealt with are on the vanilla side, the job scope encompasses a lot of duties which are not normally available at this level.
Day-to-day duties will include, but not limited to: production and analysis of daily PnL for both investment Treasury and in-house Treasury (offering a scope not normally seen in treasury product control), fixed income and commodities, reconciliations, BS substantiation, off-market checks, valuations computations, rates updates, enhancement of controls/processes and project work.
It is a replacement role so you'd be required to hit the ground running and have important responsibilities from the outset. It also means there is a strong learning curve and challenge available.
MUST Haves:
- Strong banking experience in a product control function (min 2 yrs, pref 3)
- Accounting qualification - CFA, ACA/CA preferred
- Good understanding of treasury, fixed income or commodities products
Highly Beneficial:
- Strong VBA and Excel skills
