Job description

Drive financial accuracy, strengthen risk management, and influence how a major investment platform runs day to day. As a Product Controller on the Executive Middle Office team, you’ll sit at the intersection of Front Office, Market Risk, Technology, and Finance—owning the daily P&L and risk story for one of the CIO’s flagship products and helping ensure the business is well supported, properly controlled, and positioned to scale.

This is a high-visibility role for someone who thrives in fast-moving markets, enjoys complex products, and wants a seat close to decision-making with VP-track potential for the right candidate.

Job Responsibilities

• Own daily P&L and risk substantiation for CIO/Treasury desks and management, delivering clear, accurate outputs and timely commentary.
• Lead the daily Front Office signoff process for P&L and risk—building credibility with the desk, resolving breaks, and driving an on-time close.
• Provide oversight and quality control for the daily P&L/risk process performed by junior team members (review, coaching, escalation, continuous improvement).
• Review and challenge system-to-system reconciliations and key feeds across CIO & Treasury, escalating issues and driving root-cause fixes with Technology and partners.
• Run and enhance Market Risk-related controls, including monitoring/updating risk limits and supporting clean P&L for VaR back-testing.
• Support and shape new business initiatives: onboard new products, design middle office workflows, and advise on booking strategy and operational procedures.
• Drive process efficiency and stronger controls by identifying improvements, simplifying workflows, and delivering tactical and strategic solutions.
• Partner across functions and regions (Front Office, Market Risk, Business Management, Trade Support, Financial Controllers, VCG, Technology) to ensure robust governance over P&L and risk.
• Contribute to strategic re-engineering and global projects across three regions, delivering meaningful improvements to end-to-end flows and controls.
• Support control frameworks including CSA, SOX, and Business Control Committees (BCCs).
• Respond to high-priority ad hoc requests with precision, judgment, and calm under pressure.

Required Qualifications, Capabilities, and Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or related field.
• 3+ years of experience in Product Control, Middle Office, Market Risk, Valuation, or Finance.
• Strong product knowledge with hands-on experience in Rates and Swaps.
• Understanding of the transaction lifecycle and the infrastructure/data flows that support trading, valuation, and risk.
• A controls mindset and demonstrated ability to identify breaks, explain drivers, and fix root causes (not just "clear the break").
• Ability to work independently, make sound decisions, and escalat appropriately.
• Strong communication skills and credibility with senior stakeholders; able to challenge constructively.
• Detail-oriented with the ability to deep dive, improve controls, and streamline processes.
• Strong relationship-building across teams and regions.
• Ability to handle high volumes of ad hoc requests and deliver under tight deadlines.
• Advanced Excel proficiency.
