Equity Derivatives / Commodities Product Controller Join One of the Most Exciting Hedge Fund Growth Stories in London

Location: Mayfair, London

Compensation: Exceptional base salary + market-leading bonus potential + equity participation opportunity

A rare opportunity has arisen to join a rapidly growing hedge fund in the heart of Mayfair as it enters the next phase of its expansion journey.

Backed by significant capital, top-tier talent and an ambitious leadership team, this is your chance to move beyond the infrastructure of a large bank and become a key member of a high-performing investment platform where your contribution will genuinely matter.

We're looking for an exceptional Product Controller from either an Investment Bank or Hedge Fund environment, with experience across Equity Derivatives and/or Commodities , who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial setting and wants front-row exposure to the trading desk, portfolio managers and fund leadership.

Why This Opportunity?

This isn't a traditional Product Control role.

You'll sit at the centre of the investment process, partnering directly with traders, portfolio managers, risk and operations teams to provide commercial insight, challenge valuations and drive performance transparency across complex portfolios.

In a lean, high-calibre environment, you'll gain exposure that simply isn't available within larger organisations.

The role offers:

✅ Direct interaction with senior Portfolio Managers and traders

✅ Significant visibility across the business

✅ Broad product exposure across listed and OTC derivatives

✅ Opportunity to influence processes, controls and infrastructure

✅ Genuine career progression in a rapidly scaling hedge fund

✅ Entrepreneurial culture with minimal bureaucracy

✅ Outstanding remuneration and bonus potential

Key Responsibilities

Daily P&L production, analysis and attribution
Partnering closely with Portfolio Managers and trading teams
Independent valuation verification across complex derivatives portfolios
Analysis and explanation of risk, market movements and trading performance
Reviewing and challenging front-office marks
Investigating pricing, valuation and booking issues
Supporting new product launches and trading strategies
Enhancing controls, reporting and valuation methodologies
Working alongside Risk, Operations, Treasury and Finance teams
Producing meaningful management information for senior leadership

What We're Looking For

Product Control experience gained within a leading Investment Bank, Commodity Trading House or Hedge Fund
Strong knowledge of Equity Derivatives and/or Commodities products
Experience covering listed and OTC instruments
Excellent understanding of P&L attribution, valuation methodologies and risk drivers
Strong analytical and technical capability
Ability to build credibility with senior traders and investment professionals
Commercial mindset with a desire to understand how the fund generates returns
Ambitious, intellectually curious and comfortable operating in a dynamic environment

Ideal Background

You could currently be:

VP Product Controller covering Equity Derivatives at a global investment bank
Commodities Product Controller supporting physical and derivatives trading desks
Hedge Fund Product Controller looking for a more entrepreneurial platform
Valuation Control professional seeking closer alignment with the investment process

The Opportunity

For ambitious Product Controllers who have spent years within large institutions and want to make a genuine impact, opportunities like this do not come around often.

If you're looking to combine the technical challenge of complex products with the excitement, pace and upside of a scaling hedge fund, this role offers a genuinely career-defining move.

Based in prestigious Mayfair offices, you'll be joining a business where excellence is rewarded, ideas are welcomed and top performers are given every opportunity to succeed.
