Our client, a growing commodities trading business, is looking for a Trading Control Manager 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.
What you’ll bring:
- Strong practical trading/product control experience
- Three to seven years in trading 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
- Aspect (CTRM) experience preferred
If you have strong product control experience in commodities and want to work close to the trading desk with genuine ownership of the numbers, we’d like to hear from you.
