Our client is seeking a
Risk Control Managerto help strengthen and build out its trading risk control framework.
This is a hands-on role partnering closely with senior Risk leadership to evaluate existing controls, identify gaps, improve processes, and formalize controls where needed. The focus is
risk and controls - not P&L.
We're looking for someone who understands
what a strong trading control environment should look like and can serve as a trusted "right hand" in building it.
Key Responsibilities:
- Review existing trading and risk controls and identify opportunities for improvement.
- Develop, document and formalize controls, procedures and escalation processes.
- Establish meaningful risk reporting, KPIs and exception monitoring.
- Strengthen controls around:
- Trade confirmations and exchange activity
- FCM reconciliations
- Broker fee tie-outs
- Trade-to-ETRM reconciliations (Hitachi Energy TRM)
- Curve validation
- T0/T1 checks and KPIs
- AML/KYC onboarding and annual counterparty reviews
- Month-end reconciliations with Finance
- Ensure processes are operating consistently with established risk policies.
- Partner across Risk, Trading, Operations and Finance to investigate and resolve control issues.
What We're Looking For
- Experience within energy/commodity trading risk, trade control, middle office, product control or risk operations.
- Strong understanding of the trade lifecycle and trading control environment.
- Experience with exchange/FCM activity, reconciliations, ETRM controls and exception management.
- Ability to assess existing processes and determine what needs to be improved, created or formalized.
- Strong process documentation, reporting and stakeholder-management skills.
- ETRM/CTRM experience; Hitachi Energy TRM exposure is a plus.
This is an opportunity for someone who wants to go beyond simply operating existing controls and play a meaningful role in
building a stronger, scalable risk framework.
