  Paris, France

  
  As a Barclays European Head of Valuation Control, you will have an exciting opportunity to ensure the effective execution and design of valuation controls for Barclays Europe’s trading positions and other fair valued portfolios. In your role, you will be partnering with other control teams in Barclays Europe, including regular contact with Barclays Europe trading desk supervisors and market risk managers, as well as with the Product Control teams located outside of Europe in London, Chennai, New York.

  We’re building a truly European bank with the support of one of the world’s largest and most respected financial institutions. We’ve long had a presence in Europe, so we’re building on solid foundations and leveraging our embedded talent in 10 locations across the region, allowing us to draw on a wealth of local and regional insight. This is a rare opportunity to help us realise our commercial potential in Europe; your chance to join a team with big ambitions.

We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

  • Partnering with the global Product Control teams (especially those located in London, New York, and Chennai) to ensure a smooth and seamless delivery of controls

  What we’re looking for:
  • Previous experience in financial services function at a top tier organisation
  • Broad knowledge of markets and financial products
  • An understanding of the IFRS accounting rules relating to fair value

  
  Skills that will help you in the role:
  • Experience of working collaboratively in teams across multiple business areas, functions, and locations
