Summary/Overview:

KBRA (Kroll Bond Rating Agency) is seeking an experienced credit analyst to join our Commercial Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) team. The position is open to candidates in our New York City Office or Chicago Office. The ideal candidate will have meaningful experience in commercial ABS asset classes (including, for example, data centers, PDP oil and gas, communications infrastructure, equipment, or aviation). Directors and Senior Directors within the ABS group hold an integral role on the transaction rating team, engaging in all aspects of the rating process from collateral analysis to report publication while also managing and mentoring junior staff. Senior Directors often are expected to serve as thought leaders within their subject areas.

About the Job:

  • Conduct and assist in transaction analysis including originator/servicer evaluation, collateral performance analysis, modeling and analysis of bond structure, and review of legal structure and documentation.
  • Serve as lead analyst and primary contact with clients, deal arrangers and investors.
  • Prepare and present credit memoranda to rating committees and contribute to transaction reports for publication.
  • Lead the development of new rating methodologies (as necessary), as well as topical research and market commentaries.
  • Surveil and monitor outstanding transactions, updating ratings as warranted.
  • Attend and participate in seller/servicer due diligence, investor discussions, or industry events (which, in some cases, may require travel).

You will be successful in this role if you have:

  • Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field of study required.
  • More than ten (10) years of demonstrated experience in credit analysis within the ABS sector at a Rating Agency, Buy-Side Investor, Credit Research, or similar environment.
  • Strong Excel skills (excel test may be administered as part of the interview process)
  • Ability to take initiative, work independently, and work closely with partners in a collaborative environment.
  • Strong analytical skills relating to transaction evaluation, including loan credit risk assessment and analysis of asset and bond cash flows.
  • Proficient with relevant financial modeling software (e.g. Intex)
  • Strong oral and written communications skills (writing sample on request).
  • Exceptional attention to detail.
  • Familiarity with Generative AI tools such as ChatGPT for research, data insights, and general productivity is a plus.

Salary Range:

The anticipated annual base salary range for this full-time position is $160,000 to $250,000. Offer amounts are determined by factors such as experience, skills, geography, and other job-related factors.

Benefits:

  • A hybrid work schedule (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday in the office)
  • Competitive benefits and paid time off
  • Paid family and disability leave
  • 401(k) plan, including employer match (100% vested)
  • Educational and professional development financial assistance
