Job Description

Lazard is one of the world’s preeminent financial advisory and asset management firms. Our people and culture make the difference. While global in presence and reach, ours is a close, collaborative community of just over 3,000 professionals. Lazard is a place of continuous knowledge sharing, skill development and relationship building, where professionals grow and succeed together. Our entrepreneurial culture, flat structure and embrace of individual differences, allow creative ideas, original concepts, and unique perspectives to drive our business forward — and for careers to take flight.

Many of the world’s leading investors — from individuals to institutions across the globe — have entrusted Lazard Asset Management. We pride ourselves in uncovering the best investment opportunities for our clients. The purpose of our asset management business is to help our clients invest for the future — whether it’s for retirement, to grow and preserve inter-generational wealth, or to benefit the organizations that make our world smarter, healthier and more sustainable.

Lazard Asset Management is seeking an Investment Analyst to assume primary responsibility and coverage for two to three sectors within Emerging Markets corporate credit. The analyst will develop issuer- and sector-level views across EM geographies and contribute directly to the investment process across standalone corporate-bond, blended EMD, and total-return strategies.

We'll trust you to:

  • Support coverage of approximately two to three EM corporate-credit sectors, with increasing ownership over time based on the candidate’s experience, performance, and team needs.
  • Conduct fundamental analysis of corporate issuers, including assessment of:
  • business profile and industry dynamics;
  • leverage, liquidity, and refinancing risk;
  • balance sheet, cash flow, income statement, capital structure, and covenant considerations;
  • governance, ownership, country, regulatory, and ESG-related credit risks, where relevant.
  • Develop and maintain issuer models, investment views, relative-value frameworks, and credit recommendations for bonds within the assigned coverage universe.
  • Present clear, timely, well-supported, and actionable recommendations to PMs and the broader investment team.
  • Contribute to, and over time help drive, positioning discussions for issuers in covered sectors across standalone EM corporate-bond, blended EMD, and total-return portfolios, within the team’s investment process and risk framework.
  • Monitor issuer-specific, sector, market, and macro developments; identify catalysts, downside risks, and changes to investment theses.
  • Feed bottom-up issuer and sector insights into broader EM debt, country, and macro discussions.
  • Collaborate closely with PMs, traders, and other analysts to ensure research is timely, decision-useful, and efficiently incorporated into portfolios.

You’ll need to have:

  • 5+ years of relevant investment, research, or credit-analysis experience, with the analytical foundation and maturity to take on independent coverage responsibility.
  • Prior fundamental credit-analysis experience.
  • Financial-statement analysis skills, including analysis of balance sheets, income statements, cash flow, liquidity, leverage, capital structure, and refinancing risk.
  • Ability to synthesize qualitative and quantitative information into a clear investment conclusion.
  • Written and oral communication skills, with the ability to articulate a recommendation and supporting analysis in a concise, cogent, and well-structured manner.
  • Intellectual curiosity, sound judgment, attention to detail, and ability to prioritize effectively across a dynamic workflow.
  • Ability to work collaboratively in an investment-team environment while taking ownership of assigned research responsibilities.
  • Sector background is flexible; coverage responsibilities will reflect team needs and the candidate’s experience.
  • EM corporate-credit experience is preferred; however, candidates from developed-market corporate credit, ratings, leveraged finance, corporate banking, or equity research may also be considered.

Nice to have, but not required:

  • Emerging-markets language skills and/or regional knowledge.
  • Data and technology skills, including Python, SQL, Bloomberg APIs, databases, or tools that improve research efficiency and workflow automation.
  • Data-visualization skills and the ability to communicate complex information clearly through charts, dashboards, and concise research materials.
  • Experience analyzing financial institutions.

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
