• Support new product assessments by integrating commodities valuation controls and IPV considerations early in the product lifecycle, including identification of independent price sources, model dependencies, liquidity considerations, and operational control requirements.

Job Requirements:

• Strong knowledge of commodities products, including physical and financial energy, metals, commodity futures and options, swaps, forwards, structured commodity transactions, and commodity-linked derivatives.

• Prior experience in valuations, IPV, product control, market risk, or trading support within capital markets, ideally with direct exposure to commodities businesses.
