About the Role
Greater London, United Kingdom Area (Hybrid)
The Company is seeking a Head of Commodity Risk with a focus on market, credit, and liquidity. The successful candidate will be responsible for leading market-risk oversight across various commodity exposures, including asset and charter risk, foreign exchange, and interest-rate risk. This role involves monitoring and assessing exposure across physical and financial positions, establishing and enhancing market-risk limits, and providing relevant risk insight to senior decision-makers. Additionally, the Head of Commodity Risk will lead credit and counterparty-risk activities, including assessing creditworthiness, setting and monitoring credit limits, and managing exceptions. Treasury-risk oversight, encompassing liquidity, cash-flow forecasting, working capital, and debt and financing exposure, is also a key aspect of the position. Applicants for the Head of Commodity Risk position at the company should have a proven background in a trading house, commodity merchant, energy platform, shipping business, or a comparable asset-heavy organization. Strong practical experience in commodity, market, FX, interest-rate, liquidity, and counterparty-risk management is essential. The ideal candidate will have a clear understanding of physical commodity trading and its interaction with commercial activity, credit exposure, working capital, hedging, and liquidity. Experience in building or enhancing financial-risk frameworks, limits, reporting, governance, and decision-support processes is required, as is the ability to engage with senior commercial stakeholders and provide constructive challenge in a dynamic environment.
