Commodities Trade Support - Global Hedge Fund

Commodities Trade Support – Futures and Options – Global Hedge Fund

A global, multi‑billion‑dollar hedge fund is hiring for a newly created Commodities Operations Associate as it continues to build out its London commodities operations team.

Situated close to the trading desk, the role supports trading activity across the full commodities spectrum, extending beyond just Power and Gas, with responsibility for booking and validating trades and managing the complete trade lifecycle from execution through to settlement. It also involves performing daily cash, position, and transaction reconciliations, resolving breaks promptly, supporting new product launches and operational changes, and working closely with traders on both business‑as‑usual activity and new initiatives in a fast‑paced, time‑sensitive environment.

The ideal candidate will hold a 2:1 or higher in a numerical discipline, have strong commodities product experience – particularly in Power and Gas – and essential exposure to listed futures and options. Around four years’ experience in an operations role within a hedge fund, investment bank, or commodities house is required, that has close interactions with front office; skills in SQL, VBA, or Python considered a strong advantage.

Candidates can expect a total comp figure of around 100k along with an exceptional benefits package.
