Product Control Manager

Joining my client's Global Markets Finance team, you will serve as a critical guardian of the firm's financial integrity.

• Lead the month-end close and perform rigorous substantiation between Product Control sub-ledgers and the General Ledger.

Strategic Partnership & Change Management

• Act as a key liaison between the Front Office, Middle Office, and Technology to resolve complex trade lifecycle issues and data breaks.
• Provide expert input on New Product Approvals (NPA), designing control frameworks for new business lines and spearheading UAT for system upgrades.
• Shift the needle on efficiency by identifying manual bottlenecks and designing automated, scalable solutions to strengthen the global control environment.

Qualifications

• University degree in Finance, Accounting, or a quantitative field.
• 5+ years of experience in Product Control or a high-level Financial Services audit role (Big 4).
• You have a deep functional understanding of derivative, valuation methodologies, and market mechanics.
• Translate complex financial data into clear insights for senior management and maintain professional "check-and-balance" relationships with traders.
• Fast-paced environments where deadlines are non-negotiable. You don’t just spot problems; you bring the solution.

Preferred Skills

• Proficiency in advanced Excel (VBA/SQL is a plus for modern firms).
• Strong grasp of accounting standards (IFRS/US GAAP) as they relate to financial instruments.
