Risk Specialist

My client in the energy trading space is currently looking for a Metals Middle Officer.

You are expected to operate independently, constructively challenge the front office, and handle the high operational complexity unique to physical metals portfolios.

Core Responsibilities

• Real growth: this is the fastest growing desk in the business, which means visibility, responsibility and genuine room to progress.
• Broad market exposure: the desk trades across both precious and base metals, giving you a wide book and a varied day-to-day.
• Two locations: roles are available in London and Geneva.
• Open to adjacent experience: you don’t need a pure metals background. If you’ve worked in other physical commodities such as Oil or LNG, I’d like to hear from you.

Required Profile & Technical Skills

• Experience: 2+ years in a market risk, middle office, or highly structured analytical role within a commodity trading firm or utility.
• Technical Toolkit: Advanced Excel/VBA is a baseline. At the mid-level, you should have working proficiency in Python and SQL to automate data pipelines and build standalone risk dashboards.
