The Impact: Structured finance is an important sector of the capital markets and is a key funding source and growth driver for many areas of the economy.

You will also be responsible for maintaining and enhancing the quality and timeliness of our Structured Finance thought leadership and analytics.
This is a highly visible role in the organization that will involve significant engagement with a variety of internal and external stakeholders across the Americas, with a special focus in the Latin American fast growing region.
The role requires that you interact with many participants in the Structured Finance sector (Issuers, Fintechs, Asset Managers, Investment Banks, Arrangers, Regulators, Intermediaries and other market participants).
The Associate will be an integral part of the analytical team, responsible for full rating process of securizations, what includes cash flow modeling, transaction document analysis and presentations in committees. The Associate will also be involved in several internal projects seeking to streamline the analytical process, and to develop innovative analytical tools.
Responsibilities:
Flexibility and adaptability to assign credit ratings to new structured finance transactions and to conduct surveillance on an existing portfolio predominantly domiciled within Argentina, covering several asset classes.
Manage and execute the rating process with minimal supervision.
Attend meetings and interact with senior management of sponsors to obtain information upon which to base credit rating decisions.
Analyze original, non-routine business problems in a timely, orderly and insightful manner.
Develop and maintain an understanding of industry trends and issues, becoming the market expert across a number of relevant sectors.
Be an analytical role model and mentor junior analysts.
What We’re Looking For:
Excellent verbal, written communications and storytelling skills with demonstrated ability to explain quantitative/technical concepts to others are required.
Graduate degree in a relevant discipline.
5 + years of work experience conducting credit analysis in the structured finance sector, corporates or financial institutions.
