Global Research - Latam Corporate Credit - Vice President
senior · Investment Banking
Credit Research is where markets, news, and fundamentals collide daily—and where strong, differentiated views matter. In this role, you will dig into financials, form views quickly, and communicate them clearly, translating complex company and sector dynamics into actionable insights for some of the world’s most sophisticated institutional investors.
Job summary
As a Sell-Side Credit Research Analyst covering Latin America corporates, you will support sector and issuer coverage end-to-end: analyzing earnings and filings, tracking breaking news and macro trends, building and maintaining financial models, and producing timely research on credit risk, valuation, and relative value. You will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders—including economists, equity analysts, and EM counterparts across Asia and CEEMEA—while developing your own coverage capabilities and client voice. Latin America is a predominantly high yield region with a complex credit landscape, frequent idiosyncratic events, and a high incidence of governance and fraud risk—candidates must be prepared to operate with the analytical rigor and intellectual independence that this environment demands.
