In this role, you will review complex debt documents, pricing supplements, and rating-relevant provisions to support the credit rating assignment process.

Key responsibilities include facilitating documentation collection, monitoring market developments via news wires and vendors, managing portfolio and issuer relationships, researching and escalating discrepancies, and interacting with issuers, investors, and intermediaries to provide timely responses. You will develop working knowledge of financial instruments, rating policies, and market practices while demonstrating flexibility in managing competing priorities.
The role requires strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint), excellent verbal and written communication skills, and the ability to interact effectively with internal and external stakeholders. You should have solid analytical and research capabilities, strong attention to detail, and the ability to apply established procedures accurately. Prior experience reviewing financial and legal documentation is required. Familiarity with debt capital markets through coursework or work experience is preferred.
As Moody's embraces AI and automation, this role includes exposure to AI-enabled tools and workflows. You should demonstrate curiosity about AI concepts and a willingness to learn how these technologies can improve processes and drive efficiency, including awareness of responsible AI practices and ethical considerations.
