Senior Research Analyst

This is a well-capitalised, institutionally managed investment house with a global reach. Operating across a sophisticated, multi-asset platform, the business has a strong track record of delivering strong returns for their wholesale investor base. Investment decisions are underpinned by rigorous process, independent research, and a governance framework consistent with global best practice. With a growing wholesale investor base and increasing capital under management, this is an attractive time to join the business and play a meaningful role in its next phase of growth.
  
The Opportunity – Senior Research Analyst:
This role will see you focus on an active corporate credit portfolio, allocating capital through rigorous bottom-up, fundamental analysis and disciplined portfolio construction. You will be tasked with assessing and evaluating corporate issuers across the capital structure, identifying relative value opportunities across investment grade and high yield credit.

As Senior Research Analyst, your core responsibilities will include:

• Conducting deep fundamental research across a portfolio of corporate issuers and sectors
• Building and maintaining detailed financial models to assess credit quality, cash flow dynamics, and capital structure sustainability
• Evaluating business models, competitive positioning, and management credentials to form independent credit views
• Presenting investment recommendations to the wider investment team and investment committee
• Monitoring existing portfolio holdings and identifying early indicators of credit deterioration or improvement
• Engaging directly with company management, advisers, and market counterparties
• Contributing actively to investment forums and portfolio construction discussions

Skill set and Experience Required:
The business attributes its track record to the quality of its people. This role suits an experienced finance professional who thinks independently and brings a disciplined, fundamental approach to investing.

Applications are encouraged from candidates with experience in corporate credit research, fixed income portfolio management, or investment banking credit — whether from a buy-side, sell-side, or banking background. Tertiary qualified; a CFA or relevant postgraduate designation will be viewed favourably.
You will bring intellectual curiosity, analytical rigour, and the conviction to put forward and debate your investment recommendations. Strong financial modelling capability and the ability to communicate complex credit analysis clearly to senior stakeholders will be essential.
