Trading Risk Analyst – Leading Independent Commodities Trader recruitment
As a result of this, my client is seeking an individual who will be instrumental in raising the profile of risk management within the organisation and enhancing the process of embedding a risk management culture. Reporting directly to the risk director, the individual will also be responsible for monitoring and controlling risks across a variety of functions including Trading, Treasury and Structured Finance.
Primary responsibilities include monitoring counterparty and position risk limits; improving the risk measurement structure for existing limits; and identifying recommending solutions for risks that may not be captured by the current systems. Ultimately the role will also involve working closely with an internal IT project team to develop real time exception reporting in the Group’s new ERP solution.
Successful applicants will have good knowledge of market and credit risk concepts - products, markets risk measurement techniques; therefore prior experience within a risk, finance or internal audit role within the commodities trading or financial services industries will be required. Candidates must also be proactive, self-motivated individuals with strong organisational skills and good attention to detail. Excellent communications skills will be essential throughout, and will be critical in developing effective relationships with senior stakeholders. An understanding of operational risk management, procedures and systems will be considered a plus.
This is a perfect opportunity to provide grounding within a developing area in one of the largest private organisations in the UK, setting the stage for further career development within a top financial brand. Candidates are encouraged to apply or call immediately for further details.
Please note this is a London-based role, therefore only applications with an existing UK or EU work-permit will be considered.
