Product Controller
Commodities Trading | London
£75,000 - £95,000 p.a. + Bonus & Benefits
Our client, a growing commodities trading business, is looking for a Product Controller to strengthen trade control and valuation oversight as activity and complexity increase across the desk.
This is a hands-on role covering daily P&L production and validation, position and trade reconciliation, mark-to-market, and month-end close, with direct responsibility for accurate trade capture and reporting within Aspect.
Aspect experience is preferred rather than essential; it means you can be effective from day one, reducing operational and valuation risk while improving the timeliness and reliability of P&L reporting across the business. Candidates with strong CTRM experience on other platforms who are keen to pick up Aspect quickly will also be considered.

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What you'll bring:
- Strong practical product control experience
- Three to seven years in product control, trade support, or financial control within commodities trading, ideally base or ferrous metals
- Hands-on Aspect (CTRM) experience across trade capture, valuations, and reporting is preferred; exposure to other CTRM platforms is also valued
- Solid understanding of physical and derivative P&L, mark-to-market, position reconciliation, and month-end close, including premiums, freight, quotational periods, and hedge relationships
- Strong Excel skills and comfort working with large data sets, with an eye for improving reporting processes
- Confidence engaging directly with traders, operations, and finance; able to challenge numbers and explain variances clearly
- Accuracy and reliability under deadline pressure, comfortable owning the daily process end to end in a lean team
- Fluent English; a second language is an advantage given the business's international footprint
