Credit Analyst - Retail, Leisure and Consumer Products (RLCP)
Working within the EMEA Corporate Finance Group, the candidate will take lead analytical responsibility for a portfolio of Retail, Leisure and Consumer Products (RLCP) credits. He/She will present and discuss his/her recommendations to a rating committee and will also be responsible for writing research reports and presenting Fitch’s opinions in an insightful manner to external parties. Additional analytical focus will comprise sector-wide research as well as ad-hoc commentaries.

The role will also involve presentation of the analytical product to issuers, investors, the media and bankers and entail some travel. The candidate is expected to keep fully up-to-date with market/industry developments and to proactively manage the rating process of issuers in his/her portfolio to provide timely and insightful opinion to investors.

The initial portfolio includes agriculture and consumer credits, primarily focusing in Russia/CIS region. The exact portfolio assumed is expected to grow over time in line with future mandates, potentially encompassing other consumer-related sectors such as retail and packaged food, or healthcare, both in Russia/CIS or Western Europe. The portfolio will include both Speculative Grade and Investment Grade issuers and will involve collaboration with the Leveraged Finance Team.

Due to the nature of the credit portfolio, likely biased towards Russia/CIS, the candidate may be expected to relocate to Fitch’s Moscow office over time. Job ID #: 11132
