  • Track market trends and work with team members and other editorial groups to help guide our coverage
  • Work closely with Octus’ legal analysts and reporters to deliver value-added insights on topical credit situations
  • Respond promptly to subscriber requests, which may include participating in calls to offer informed perspectives on credits under coverage
  • Maintain active communication with clients and industry contacts to source new ideas
  • Support the Editorial group on ad hoc requests and respond to market-moving news to ensure timely and comprehensive coverage

Requirements

  • Minimum 5+ years in credit research (buy-side or sell-side) or investment banking
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Business, Finance, Accounting, or a related discipline
  • Proficient in building capital structures, financial modeling, scenario analysis and cash flow projections

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.
