Senior Fixed Income Analyst

Senior Fixed Income Analyst/APM, Dubai

We have partnered with a successful and growing asset manager in Dubai looking to expand their investment team with a Senior Fixed Income Analyst/APM.

The ideal candidate will have 5-10+ years’ previous experience, either as a Buy-Side Credit Analyst, Sell-Side Desk Analyst, or Assistant PM in a generalist capacity, covering global IG names with some crossover into HY (although the team does not typically trade below B/BB names).

A strong track record of idea generation across a range of sectors and geographies is strongly desired, as well as previous exposure to implementing trade ideas, position sizing, and risk-management (either as a Senior Analyst or Assistant PM).

The selected candidate will be working alongside the CIO and helping run the fixed income book, with the expectation to eventually move into a portfolio manager role, which makes this a very exciting opportunity for anyone looking to move into a PM role.

Given this would be on a small and growing team, our client is looking for a self-assured, autonomous individual with the ability to get up to speed quite quickly, whilst also having an alpha generation mindset.

The investment team is world-class and the firm has an excellent culture. Given the role is based in Dubai, our client would be open to speaking with candidates from a wide range of global financial hubs, provided they are happy to relocate full-time.
