Description

As a Product Control Associate in the Executive Middle Office team, you will promote financial accuracy, strengthen risk management, and influence how a major investment platform runs day to day. The Product Controller on the Executive Middle Office team, will 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.

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, Skills, and Capabilities:

  • 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 escalate 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.

Preferred Qualifications, Skills, and Capabilities:

  • Front Office proximity & high visibility: You’ll be the person who helps the desk confidently stand behind its numbers every day.
  • Opportunity to expand scope through leadership, controls ownership, and strategic project delivery.
  • Real influence: You’ll help modernize processes, improve control effectiveness, and shape workflows as the business evolves.
  • Complex products, strong career foundation: Deep exposure to Rates/Swaps (and MBS), risk concepts, valuation drivers, and cross-system flows.
