> Department Overview
>
> Fitch is one of the world's leading credit rating

> looking for Analysts to join a new Corporate/Leveraged
> Finance Ratings Team, to be based in Mumbai, which
> will undertake ratings of corporate entities from
> across the Asia-Pacific region, primarily for use in
> CDO/CLO transactions. The establishment of this new
> operation alongside Fitch's existing successful
> Corporate Ratings Team in India reflects the strong
> growth in Fitch's business in Asia-Pacific, both in
> Corporate ratings and in the Structured Finance arena,
> as the Asian CLO market continues to develop rapidly.
>
>
> This initiative replicates the successful model that
> Fitch has implemented in other markets globally, with
> dedicated Corporate/Leveraged Finance teams in London
> and New York catering for the European and US markets
> respectively. This third team is being set-up in
> Mumbai to service and support the Asian CDO/CLO
> business.
>
> Candidates will ideally have gained several years of
> experience in credit analysis, which will enable them
> to deliver high quality research on Corporate issuers
> and their debt instruments. Candidates will be
> expected to display strong initiative and to assume a
> considerable level of responsibility at an early
> stage.
>
> Job Description
>
> Candidates will be required to carry out credit
> research, undertake data extraction and analysis and
> produce credit rating reports. They will also be
> expected to provide rating recommendations and present
> their analysis on a wide range of Corporate entities
> to a rating committee. Candidates that have an
> interest in gaining exposure to a variety of
> jurisdictions in the Asia-Pacific region will have a
> definite advantage.

> Over time, it is anticipated that strong performers
> will have the potential to migrate into other roles
> within Fitch, both in the already established Indian
> business, and in other offices around the region.
>
> Candidate Profile
>
> Successful candidates will be expected to be strongly
> motivated and be able to work independently, while
> also being good team players. The nature of the
> CDO/Leveraged Finance business is such that candidates
> must be able to cope with time pressure and deadlines,
> happy to travel and adapt to a multi-cultural
> environment. A good educational background, supported
> by several years' of experience of credit analysis
> (2-4 years), are pre-requisites for the role.
> Candidates will be expected to display a good balance
> of numeracy and accountancy skills, analytical ability
> and strong communication skills in writing and orally
> presenting concise, fluent English reports in an
> articulate manner. A knowledge of other Asian
> languages would also be useful.
