- The continued development and improvement of the Internal Control environment through critical evaluation of current controls and processes and utilisation of best practice.

- Assisting in the resolution of the financial closing issues.

- Covering of other analysts within the team

- Analysing and investigating the results obtained to the underlying data, before reporting to Management.

You must have excellent options product control experience from a leading Investment Bank or Trading House together with a good understanding of trading strategies, with an emphasis on derivatives instruments, as well as a solid grasp of the requirements of the control environment in a trading business.
