Overview of the team/department:
The Product Control department is responsible for the production, analysis, publication and control of official daily P&L for all BlueCrest funds at a Portfolio Manager, Desk and Fund level, as well as oversight of monthly NAV production and approval of distribution of statements to investors.

The department has approximately twenty-five employees across three offices (London, New York and Singapore) with teams focused on both product control and valuation control of all major asset classes, with the overarching objective of developing innovative approaches to achieve best-in-class control of the business.

Role requirements:
This role forms an integral part of the Product Control team focused on all aspects of valuation control. Specific responsibilities include:

  • Ownership of the month-end valuation control process across all BlueCrest funds including presentation of the outcome of the process to the firm's Valuation Committee.
  • Day-to-day oversight of the valuation of all positions, ensuring ongoing compliance with the firm's Valuation Control Policy and coordinating any updates to policy required.
  • Ad hoc information and valuation change requests from Portfolio Managers, management and external stakeholders.
  • Driving forward process improvement specific to valuation control and involvement in broader Product Control-wide transformation initiatives.

Experience required:
The ideal candidate will be an experienced Valuation Controller within a bank or hedge fund with demonstrable strong understanding of Fixed Income derivative and securities products.

Essential experience includes:

  • Significant involvement in the front-to-back valuation control process at previous institutions.
  • Strong academic qualifications in a quantitative subject from a top-tier academic institution.
  • Experienced user of MS Excel.
  • Experience of Python, ETL tools and/or Visualisation tools in a professional setting.

Desirable, but not essential, experience includes:

  • Exposure to more than one asset class.
  • Knowledge of the specific requirements of US GAAP in relation to the valuation of trading positions.
  • Knowledge of broader Product Control environment.

About you:
You will be a self-starter comfortable with taking the initiative and independently driving forward competing priorities across a range of timescales, both for yourself and for the broader team.

Working across teams is critical, for which you will have excellent communication and influencing skills, and will need to be comfortable building strong working relationships within Product Control, and with other stakeholders including the Quant, Front Office Tech and Risk teams across the firm.

You will have a growth mindset with a desire to continuously learn and to constructively challenge the status quo.
