Asset Management Product Control Analyst

Náplň práce, právomoci a zodpovednosti:
Do you have a passion for a fast-paced, challenging job where you can develop yourself in world-class asset management environment? Are you interested in financial markets? Would you like to analyze performance of investments such as bonds, shares or even derivatives? We are looking for a highly motivated and result oriented colleague with outstanding problem-solving skills to join our Finance Asset Management team.

About the Role

As a Product Controller you will be responsible for daily performance reporting as well as associated commentary and analysis on investment types including fixed income, equities, and derivatives products. The job itself along with the team's trainings framework and Swiss Re's knowledge-sharing culture offer excellent learning opportunities as you would have insights into how asset management works and how the performance of investments is reported to senior management. You will work closely with front office as well as finance reporting teams. Our team is multinational spread across various locations including New York, Zurich and London.

What Your Day Might Look Like:


• Prepare Financial Performance Reports
Every morning, you’ll gather the latest trading and investment data and use Excel or reporting tools to produce detailed P&L reports. These reports break down profits and losses by asset class, desk, or strategy. You’ll check these numbers carefully to make sure they’re accurate before sending them to senior managers, who rely on your insights to make key business decisions.

• Collaborate with Stakeholders
Throughout the day, you’ll communicate regularly with traders and the finance team to clarify any unusual P&L results or answer questions about daily performance. This might involve quick calls, emails, or meetings to investigate differences and ensure everyone is aligned.

• Reconcile Financial Data
A big part of your role involves comparing P&L figures from different sources, such as trading systems and accounting ledgers , to ensure everything matches up. This helps catch errors early and ensures that reported profits are consistent with official books. You might spend focused time diving into spreadsheets or databases, tracking down discrepancies, and liaising with accountants or operations teams.

• Improve Reporting Processes
You won’t just work with numbers; you’ll also partner with IT and analytics colleagues to identify bottlenecks or inefficiencies in how reports are generated. This could mean suggesting automation, building new Excel models, or testing new tools that help the team analyze performance faster and more accurately.

• Ensure Accuracy and Compliance
You’re responsible for keeping strict controls around the data you handle. If you spot unexpected adjustments or errors, you’ll follow established escalation protocols to inform management. You’ll also help maintain documentation and procedures that ensure the team consistently meets compliance and audit requirements.

• Support Special Projects
Occasionally, you’ll be asked to take part in one-off initiatives, like investigating a new product’s performance, helping with budgeting exercises, or supporting system upgrades. These projects give you the chance to broaden your skills and contribute beyond daily reporting.
