Credit Portfolio Manager

This is a great job for a highly motivated and experienced Credit Manager with High Yield/Leveraged Finance experience and a track record of outperformance to join one of the leading Global High Yield teams in asset management.

A bit about the job:

We are looking to recruit an experienced co-manager to work on the Global High Yield Strategies primarily but also to work on other credit strategies (e.g. Leveraged finance and convertibles). The individual we are looking for will collaborate with investment teams to apply the extensive resources of the Global High Yield strategies. The individual will have a focus on the US high yield bond market to generate alpha and in addition communicate ideas to the wider investment teams. We have a holistic approach to constructing Global High Yield portfolios combined with a fundamental credit research focus to ensure robust client outcomes. We follow a rigorous investment process to arrive at high conviction investment ideas with a strong emphasis on risk and ESG embedded in our process.

Skills and experience we’re looking for:

• Experience as a Credit Manager with an attributable track record of outperformance against relevant benchmarks and peer groups in high yield/leveraged finance. Experience focused on US high yield credit would be beneficial.
• Disciplined portfolio construction skills and risk assessment
• Experience marketing to institutional and financial institutional clients
• Capacity to build and maintain relationships with companies and other industry participants
• Passion and interest in investment

What you’ll get for this role:

• Generous pension scheme – Aviva will contribute up to 14%, depending on what you put in
• Eligibility for annual performance bonus
• Family friendly parental and carer’s leave
• Generous holiday entitlement plus bank holidays with the option to buy/sell up to 5 additional days
• Up to 40% discount for Aviva products
• Brilliant flexible benefits including electric cars
• Aviva Matching Share Plan and Save As You Earn scheme
• 21 volunteering hours per year

In this role you’ll be ‘Certified’ under the Financial Conduct Authority / Prudential Regulation Authority’s Senior Managers and Certification Regime (SMCR). This means that we’ll need to complete some regulatory background checks on you before you take up your role and we’ll need to ask you some questions on an annual basis to make sure you remain ‘fit and proper’ and competent to carry out your role. We’ll provide training on what holding a SMCR role means when you join us and annually thereafter.

We’re inclusive and welcome everyone – we want applications from all backgrounds and experiences. Excited but not sure you tick every box? Even if you don’t, we would still encourage you to apply. We also consider all forms of flexible working, including part time and job shares.
