Job description

Role: Fixed Income & Private Credit Analyst

Location: UAE

Reporting to: Investment Director

Education Required:

3-8 years as a Buy-Side Analyst

CFA Charterholder/ Bachelors or Masters in Finance/Economics.

Technical Mastery

• Excel modeling (Cash flow forecasting, sensitivity analysis).
• Bloomberg/Refinitiv proficiency

Mandate: 75% Core Fixed Income (Liquid) | 25% Private Credit & Asset Finance

The Family Office is institutionalizing its internal investment capability to scale its fixed income allocation. We are seeking a technically elite Buy-Side Analyst. This role is for a "pure" investor - someone who can navigate global and regional bond markets for yield and liquidity, while deep-diving into the structural protections of private credit for alpha.

Core Investment Responsibilities (75% Liquid Portfolio)

• Fundamental Credit Analysis: Perform deep-dive research on Sovereign, Quasi-Sovereign, and Corporate issuers (IG/HY). Evaluate cash flow sustainability and interest coverage.
• Relative Value (RV) Positioning: Identify mispriced risk across the yield curve. Utilize Z-spread and G-spread analysis to optimize entry/exit in secondary markets.
• Portfolio & Risk Management: Monitor $DV01$, spread duration, and credit migration. Manage liquidity ladders for tactical opportunities.
• Manager Due Diligence: Evaluate global bond funds/ETFs for alpha persistence and style drift.

Strategic Allocation (25% Private Credit & Asset Finance)

• Yield Enhancement: Source and evaluate senior secured lending, direct lending, and private debt.
• Asset-Backed Financing: Underwrite receivables financing and structured transactions. Focus on "borrowing base" mechanics and collateral perfection.
• Structural Defense: Scrutinize Offering Memorandums for "Covenant-Lite" triggers, priming risks, and inter-creditor dynamics.
• Recovery Modeling: Build rigorous "Stressed Case" models to determine the investment "floor" through liquidation vs. going-concern valuations.
