The Opportunity
Our client is a specialist commodities brokerage looking to hire a highly versatile individual to work closely with the Head of Risk and Chief Technology Officer.
This is a particularly broad role, suited to someone who enjoys working across different areas of a business rather than operating within a narrowly defined function. You will sit close to the senior leadership team and gain exposure across market risk, operations, business analysis, and project management.
The ideal candidate is likely to have experience within a broker, trading firm, commodities business, or other fast-paced financial markets environment, with a strong understanding of how a brokerage operates.
What You'll Be Doing
The role will involve a mixture of day-to-day operational responsibilities, analysis, and project-based work, including:
- Working closely with the Head of Market Risk across a broad range of business priorities.
- Supporting market risk processes, controls, and reporting.
- Analysing trading, operational, and risk data to identify trends, issues, and opportunities for improvement.
- Working with front, middle, and back-office teams to understand processes and resolve issues.
- Supporting and driving business improvement initiatives and projects.
- Documenting and improving business processes, controls, and procedures.
- Acting as a bridge between business users, risk, operations, and technology.
- Producing MI, management information, and analysis for senior stakeholders.
- Supporting system enhancements, implementations, and other change initiatives.
- Identifying opportunities to improve efficiency, automation, and controls.
- Taking ownership of ad-hoc projects and initiatives from initial requirements through to delivery.
- Helping to ensure that operational and risk-related processes remain robust as the business develops.

Why This Role?
This is an opportunity to join a specialist financial markets business where you will have genuine visibility across the organisation.
Rather than being confined to one discipline, you will have the opportunity to develop a broad understanding of market risk, trading operations, business processes, and change, working directly alongside a senior member of the business.
It would suit someone who enjoys variety, wants responsibility, and is looking to develop their career within a specialist brokerage environment.
If you are currently working within a broker and are looking for a broader, more commercially focused role where you can make a tangible impact, we'd be keen to hear from you.
