Energy Risk Management Exit Ops

I am currently at a boutique IB in Houston, I am looking to leave for a number of reasons. Lots of internal problems and lower than market comp, company is struggling. Needless to say I am not staying. I recently received an offer at a company that is a commodity risk management company. I will mostly be updating and building pricing models and as hoc projects at first but will eventually be executing trades for clients to manage risk. I want to eventually work my way up to a PM position but definitely want to take a shot at PE or at a Hedge Fund. Does this opportunity sound like something that would lead to those type of exit ops?
