As a Sell-Side Credit Research Associate, you'll support sector and issuer coverage end-to-end: analyzing earnings and filings, tracking breaking news and macro trends, building and updating financial models, and producing timely research on risk, valuation, and relative value. You'll collaborate closely with senior analysts while building your own coverage capabilities and voice with clients.

  • Own day-to-day monitoring of assigned sectors and issuers, staying on top of catalysts, flows, and fundamentals
  • Break down earnings releases, regulatory filings, and disclosures and translate takeaways into a clear credit view
  • Assess news, macro developments, and industry trends for implications to spreads, ratings, and capital structures
  • Build, maintain, and enhance financial statement models and key credit / coverage metrics
  • Perform valuation and relative value analysis across issuers, curves, and structures
  • Write concise, client-ready research notes and contribute to broader sector pieces with clear conclusions
  • Communicate views in live discussions, internal debates, and client-facing conversations

Required qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

  • 3+ years in research, investment banking, or another rigorous analytical role
  • Strong accounting and corporate finance skills; ability to translate GAAP details into credit implications
  • Advanced Excel and financial modeling skills; fluency with AI-enabled tools to accelerate analysis
  • Strong writing and presentation skills; clear, concise communication under time pressure
  • Passion for markets and curiosity about how industries and companies evolve

Preferred qualifications, capabilities, and skills:

  • Proficiency with Bloomberg
  • Strong MS Office skills (Word and PowerPoint)
  • FINRA Series 7 and Series 63 (or ability/willingness to obtain)
