My client is an online financial intelligence service that provides market-moving news and research on event driven special situations in the emerging markets. They are looking for an Managing Analyst to lead their Asia credit research team in Singapore covering distressed debt and other corporate event driven opportunities.

You will be joining a motivated team of free thinkers and as a manager you will need to be personable and dynamic, encouraging “out of the box” thinking and the ability to discuss and appreciate different points of view to avoid the blind spots presented by group think. This has been key to their success and is the spirit of the service they provide.

You must be obsessed by the idiosyncrasies in the emerging markets and possess the “institutional knowledge” required for the job, keenly aware of the importance families and political relationships play in the outcome of a situation. In too many cases, the numbers either tell part of the tale or hide the true story.

All of their managers lead from the front, and the successful candidate will be expected to pitch in, working closely to support their legal analysts and editorial team on breaking coverage of event driven special situations, writing research reports for publication on their service.

The successful candidate must have at least five to seven years’ experience covering distressed debt and special situations either at an investment bank, the buyside or at a financial advisory firm.
