PGIM Credit is a leading $1.2 trillion global asset manager spanning public and private credit markets. Our Investment Risk Management team plays a critical role in overseeing risk positioning across more than 600 client portfolios, partnering closely with investment professionals to deliver disciplined, data-driven decision-making.
As part of a highly collaborative and technically sophisticated team, you will work at the intersection of portfolio management, trading, and quantitative analytics.

We are seeking a strategic and detail-oriented Investment Risk professional who thrives in a fast-paced setting and is passionate about applying quantitative insights to real-world portfolio management challenges.

  • Coordinate with associates in Investment Risk and QMS to prepare responses to due diligence questionnaires, requests for proposals, and ad-hoc inquiries from clients and prospects related to our Investment Risk Management Framework.
  • Support the team with client and portfolio onboarding and ongoing account maintenance, coordinating as needed with Client Advisors, Client Onboarding, Compliance, Portfolio Analysts, and Portfolio Managers.
  • Meet with clients and prospective clients to present our internal risk management framework and answer questions related to PGIM Credit's risk management philosophy.
  • Prepare documentation and presentation materials for internal and client use that explain various aspects of our proprietary risk framework and analytics.

What you will bring:
  • Minimum of 7 years of experience in investment risk or portfolio analytics with direct exposure to portfolio construction, positioning, and risk management
  • Bachelor's degree, preferably with concentration(s) in Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Business, Data Analytics or Engineering.
  • Demonstrated competence with statistical, quantitative and technical aspects of fixed income markets.
  • Experience with at least three relevant Fixed Income asset classes, including but not limited to: interest rate products, futures, FX derivatives, Government debt, Investment Grade Corporates, High Yield, Bank Loans, Emerging Markets, Structured Products, and Private Credit.
  • Extensive experience with MS Excel, Python, SQL and other data analysis or modeling tools with the ability to work effectively with large datasets.
  • Clear, professional communication skills, including strong listening, verbal and written abilities.
  • Strong interpersonal skills and experience with interacting with senior management, investment professionals and clients
  • Exceptional organizational and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple and at times competing priorities within defined timelines, both independently and in a team setting.
