  • Investigate and resolve pricing discrepancies reported by clients, Operations, or downstream systems.
  • Respond to client queries relating to bond prices, yields, and valuation methodologies.
  • Prepare and perform Client Coverage Reports.
  • Maintain documentation relating to FRNs, Government Benchmark Yield Curves, and Inflation.
  • Identify and implement automation opportunities to streamline pricing and validation processes.

Qualifications

  • Experience in Fixed Income Reference Data Operations and Corporate Actions.
  • Minimum 1+ years of relevant experience as a Research Analyst.
  • Working knowledge of SQL.
  • Strong understanding of fixed-income instruments, bond attributes, terms and conditions, and lifecycle events.
