Our client, a major international trading and investment group with a well-established metals and commodities trading operation in London, is looking for a Risk Management Analyst to join their Metals Trading Group.

This is a genuinely interesting seat: you'll sit at the intersection of trading, risk and finance, independently assessing and reporting on the risk and exposures tied to live commercial trading activity, including trading positions, P&L, and trade review, all while working closely with Front Office and playing a key role in meeting accounting and regulatory standards.

What you'll be doing:

\n
• Assessing/reporting market risk control items on a daily, weekly and monthly basis
\n
• Preparing and analysing weekly and monthly P&L reports to deadline
\n
• Supporting quarterly financial compilation through accounting memos and requirements
\n
• Acting as a point of contact for market risk and P&L queries from internal control and external audit
\n
• Ensuring market price risk is properly captured and hedge actions are executed
\n
• Preparing ad-hoc reporting to support management on positions, structure and strategy
\n
• Contributing to an ongoing system development project within the Metals Trading Group
\n

What we're looking for:

\n
• Experience in a risk management function, with solid grounding in risk management terminology
\n
• Advanced Excel skills, with strong numerical, formula and modelling ability
\n
• Excellent communication skills, confident liaising across the team, Front Office and internal departments
\n
• Calm, methodical and accurate under pressure, with strong time management and attention to detail
\n
• Able to work using initiative under general guidance, with a flexible, adaptable attitude
\n

Good to have:

\n
• Exposure to physical commodities, particularly metals and minerals trading
\n
• Experience working in a multicultural environment
\n
• Basic knowledge of accounting standards
\n

This is a strong opportunity to build a career in risk within a genuinely global trading business, working closely with experienced Front Office and Finance teams on live commercial risk.
