The posting

Role Overview

The Investment Associate will play an important role in Dodge & Cox's fixed income investment process and be part of a lean investment team, with a primary emphasis on credit investing, but opportunities to work alongside investment professionals across the firm.

The Associate will develop a comprehensive set of skills centered on credit investing, work directly with senior investment professionals, and have the opportunity to meet with management teams representing the largest companies around the world. The bulk of training occurs on the job, supplemented by formal sessions on an interim basis. This person will also gain exposure to firm-wide investment ideas through ongoing research and portfolio management meetings.

Investment Associate projects are wide-ranging. As a member of the fixed income investment team, this person will support senior professionals in all aspects of the investment process: identifying new opportunities, conducting research and analysis, advocating to investment committees, and managing portfolio exposures.

This is a two-to-four-year position, after which candidates generally pursue other professional opportunities or enroll in business school. Research Associates have gone on to attend business schools including Stanford, Harvard, Wharton, The University of Chicago, and INSEAD.

  • Initiative and ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills

Qualifications

  • One to two years of related work experience or an undergraduate experience that demonstrates exceptional potential
  • B.A. or B.S. degree and an excellent academic record
  • Coursework in economics, statistics, accounting, and finance is a plus
  • Strong quantitative and analytical skills, including experience with financial modeling
  • Proficiency with MS Excel and PowerPoint
  • Coursework or demonstrated experience in corporate finance or valuation is a plus
  • Familiarity with AI tools (e.g., Claude, Copilot) and willingness to apply them to research workflows

Requirements:

  • Dodge & Cox has a 4/1 hybrid work model, and all Dodge & Cox employees are required to be in their assigned office as noted in the job posting Monday - Thursday each week, with the option to work remotely on Friday.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
