Converts Analyst - Multi-Strat Hedge Fund
We are working exclusively with a prestigious multi-strategy hedge fund seeking to hire a Converts Analyst to join a high-performing pod led by a deeply experienced Portfolio Manager.

- Build and maintain financial models, conduct scenario analysis, and prepare investment memos.
- Collaborate with internal teams, including risk, trading, and operations, to ensure seamless execution and portfolio management.
This role is designed for someone who is intellectually curious and eager to grow into an idea processor-someone who can eventually originate and champion investment ideas within the pod.
Candidate Requirements:
- Up to 5 years of experience in credit, fixed income, or related research roles (sell-side or buy-side).
- Strong academic pedigree from a top-tier institution (Bachelor's or advanced degree).
