Description

A prestigious global trading house are offering an opportunity a Market Risk Business Analyst to join their team and support a major transformation programme across their market risk function. This is a high-profile opportunity to work closely with front office, risk and technology teams as the business continues to invest heavily in its trading and risk infrastructure.

The successful candidate will play a key role in shaping and delivering change across both bespoke in-house market risk platforms and best-in-class third-party risk applications. You will be embedded in a fast-paced trading environment, translating front office and risk requirements into robust technology and process enhancements that support a complex trading portfolio.

This role suits someone with a strong understanding of market risk across both paper and physical trading, ideally within commodities, though candidates from other asset classes with comparable exposure are very much encouraged to apply.

Key responsibilities:

Acting as the bridge between trading, market risk, quantitative teams and technology on transformation initiatives

Gathering, analysing and documenting business requirements for market risk systems and processes

Supporting the enhancement and integration of in-house risk platforms and third-party vendor solutions

Working closely with traders and risk managers to ensure accurate representation of products, risk metrics and P&L

Assisting with system testing, implementation and post-go-live support

Contributing to the evolution of market risk controls, reporting and analytics in line with business growth

Key requirements:

Proven experience as a Business Analyst within a trading or investment environment
Strong market risk knowledge covering products, sensitivities, limits and P&L, with exposure to both financial and physical trading
Commodity trading experience is highly desirable, but open to candidates from any asset class
Experience working on technology change or transformation programmes, ideally involving risk systems
Familiarity with bespoke in-house platforms and/or third-party risk vendors
Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to operate confidently in a front-office-facing role

This is a hybrid role, 3d/w in London with a salary around £140k (flexible for the right candidate). The wider package includes bonus, pension, healthcare, wellness package and more.

This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly respected trading house known for its sophisticated trading strategies, long-term investment in technology and collaborative culture. The role offers strong visibility, meaningful ownership of change, and the chance to work at the intersection of trading, risk and technology.

If you are a market risk-focused Business Analyst looking to take the next step within a top-tier trading environment, I would be keen to discuss this opportunity in more detail.
