Job description

A well regarded technology driven hedge fund is looking to add a Credit Analyst to a their team focused on structured credit.

The team currently invests primarily across CLOs but is actively expanding its mandate into other areas of structured credit and single-name corporate credit. This is an investment-focused seat suited to someone who wants to remain fundamentally grounded in credit while applying a more technical and data-driven approach to investing.

The analyst will work across both primary and secondary markets, evaluating opportunities at the security, structure, and underlying collateral level. The team takes a relatively deep approach to credit analysis, with alpha generated not only through security selection and trading, but also through understanding and proactively evaluating deal structure, collateral, and relative value.
