Risk Control Manager Energy Trading & Risk

Our client is seeking a Risk Control Manager to help strengthen and build out its trading risk control framework.

This is a hands-on role partnering closely with senior Risk leadership to evaluate existing controls, identify gaps, improve processes, and formalize controls where needed. The focus is risk and controls — not P&L.

We’re looking for someone who understands what a strong trading control environment should look like and can serve as a trusted “right hand” in building it.

Key Responsibilities:

• Review existing trading and risk controls and identify opportunities for improvement.

• Develop, document and formalize controls, procedures and escalation processes.

• Establish meaningful risk reporting, KPIs and exception monitoring.

• Strengthen controls around:

  • Trade confirmations and exchange activity

  • FCM reconciliations

  • Broker fee tie-outs

  • Trade-to-ETRM reconciliations (Hitachi Energy TRM)

  • Curve validation

  • T0/T1 checks and KPIs

  • AML/KYC onboarding and annual counterparty reviews

  • Month-end reconciliations with Finance

• Ensure processes are operating consistently with established risk policies.

• Partner across Risk, Trading, Operations and Finance to investigate and resolve control issues.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience within energy/commodity trading risk, trade control, middle office, product control or risk operations.

• Strong understanding of the trade lifecycle and trading control environment.

• Experience with exchange/FCM activity, reconciliations, ETRM controls and exception management.

• Ability to assess existing processes and determine what needs to be improved, created or formalized.

• Strong process documentation, reporting and stakeholder-management skills.

• ETRM/CTRM experience; Hitachi Energy TRM exposure is a plus.

This is an opportunity for someone who wants to go beyond simply operating existing controls and play a meaningful role in building a stronger, scalable risk framework.
