Our Hiring Manager Says

I'm looking for the kind of person who has analytical curiosity and loves a challenge. Working on a diverse yet complex portfolio of credits will allow you to learn new skill sets, but you must also be willing to lead other analysts in more junior positions, and to provide support to their analytic portfolios as well. You'll love this job because it involves evaluating the public sector while working for a private company.
