Nordea Asset Management is the largest asset manager in the Nordics with a strong European presence and a global business. We have a proven history of having strong investment processes creating significant returns with responsibility. Our investment teams are working out of the Nordics, but we are keen on expanding the Investments Business Support team located in Lisbon.

About this opportunity

As an Investment Analyst, you will join our Investments Business Support team and support a broad range of activities across the investment organisation. Your main responsibilities will include Broker Management, Research Management and activities related to our external asset manager selection and responsible investment activities. You will combine analytical work with operational responsibilities, coordination and process development, working closely with investment teams and other stakeholders across Nordea Asset Management. An important part of the role will also be to identify opportunities to improve how we work through data, automation and AI. We are therefore looking for someone who is curious about new technology and has practical experience using generative AI, preferably including AI-enabled or agent-based workflows.

• Extract and track key credit metrics like leverage, coverage ratios and liquidity from financial statements.
• Analyse capital structures including debt structure, debt layers, repayment schedules, interest expenses and leverage levels.
• Conduct covenant analysis by reviewing indentures and extracting limits on distributions, debt incurrence and other restrictions.
• Meet tight turnaround deadlines, from 24 hours on some primary transactions to a week on less time sensitive assignments.
• Broker Management (approval, coordination, reviews, monitoring).
• Research Management (contracting, budgets, reviews, payments and systems).
• Provide operational and administrative support to the Manager Selection team.
• Support Responsible Investments with Proxy Voting, PRI Reporting and UK Stewardship Code Report.
• Support engagement activities by preparing and delivering engagement overviews upon request, maintaining and updating engagement data across relevant systems, and monitoring the progress of engagements.

You will join Investments Business Support, a team of four within the Investment Office in Fixed Income & Equities at Nordea Asset Management.

• The role is based in Oeiras (Quinta da Fonte).
• It’s expected you to work 100% on-site in the first 2 months and after on an Hybrid regime (3 days from Office + 2 days from home).

• Application management: Manage selected external applications used across Investments, ensuring compliance with internal guidelines, coordinating reviews and documentation, and following up on required actions.
