The Team

Morningstar DBRS' Corporate Ratings team provides independent credit analysis and ratings on companies across a diverse range of industries, including services, industrials, consumer products, and technology.

Our approach combines fundamental business and financial risk analysis to assess the creditworthiness of corporate issuers. The team evaluates factors such as competitive positioning, industry dynamics, profitability, cash flow generation, leverage, and liquidity, applying sector-specific methodologies and forward-looking analysis to support informed credit rating decisions.

The Role

Morningstar DBRS is seeking an experienced credit professional to join its Corporate Ratings team as a Vice President in New York City.

In this role, you will help expand our analytical coverage of U.S.-based companies across a broad range of industries, evaluating both investment-grade and non-investment-grade borrowers. You will be responsible for conducting fundamental credit analysis, developing financial forecasts, producing high-quality research, and contributing to credit rating decisions.

The position offers the opportunity to work closely with colleagues globally, engage directly with corporate issuers and financial market participants, and play an important role in growing Morningstar DBRS' presence in the U.S. corporate credit market.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Conduct fundamental credit analysis of U.S. corporate issuers across multiple sectors, including services, industrials, consumer products, and technology.

  • Prepare and present high-quality credit rating reports, research publications, and analytical presentations.
  • Participate in credit rating discussions and contribute to well-supported analytical recommendations.
  • Develop and maintain relationships with corporate debt issuers, bankers, investors, and other market participants.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across global Corporate Ratings teams to ensure analytical consistency and share industry expertise.
  • Support the expansion of analytical coverage and contribute to business development initiatives.
  • Identify opportunities to enhance analytical processes, research products, and rating methodologies.

What You'll Bring

  • 7–10 years of experience in financial or credit analysis, with significant exposure to corporate credit.
  • Prior experience analyzing or covering companies in the technology sector is preferred, but not required.
  • Strong financial statement analysis and financial modeling skills, including a deep understanding of U.S. GAAP accounting standards.
  • Experience assessing corporate credit risk, including business fundamentals, cash flow, leverage, liquidity, and capital structure.
  • Familiarity with corporate credit rating methodologies and fundamental credit research.
  • Strong analytical judgment and the ability to evaluate complex financial information and communicate clear, well-supported conclusions.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with senior stakeholders and market participants.
  • A proactive, collaborative mindset and interest in contributing to the growth of our U.S. corporate ratings business.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities, meet deadlines, and maintain strong attention to detail.
  • Bachelor's degree in finance, accounting, economics, business, or a related field.
  • Willingness to travel as required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

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.
