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.

- Assessing/reporting market risk control items on a daily, weekly and monthly basis
- Preparing and analysing weekly and monthly P&L reports to deadline
- Supporting quarterly financial compilation through accounting memos and requirements
- Acting as a point of contact for market risk and P&L queries from internal control and external audit
- Ensuring market price risk is properly captured and hedge actions are executed
- Preparing ad-hoc reporting to support management on positions, structure and strategy
- Contributing to an ongoing system development project within the Metals Trading Group
What we’re looking for:
- Experience in a risk management function, with solid grounding in risk management terminology
- Advanced Excel skills, with strong numerical, formula and modelling ability
- Excellent communication skills, confident liaising across the team, Front Office and internal departments
- Calm, methodical and accurate under pressure, with strong time management and attention to detail
- Able to work using initiative under general guidance, with a flexible, adaptable attitude
Good to have:
- Exposure to physical commodities, particularly metals and minerals trading
- Experience working in a multicultural environment
- Basic knowledge of accounting standards
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.
