Fitch Ratings is seeking an Analyst to join its Asset-Backed Securities (ABS) group in our Chicago office.

The position provides opportunities to grow credit understanding across consumer ABS through monitoring macro trends and impacts to pool and ABS rating performance.

How You'll Make an Impact :

  • Analyze key credit, legal, and structural aspects of ABS transactions.
  • Support rating workflows by assisting in the analysis and monitoring of a portfolio of ABS transactions.
  • Utilize cashflow models to help form opinions on future performance.

  • You enjoy working collaboratively and have strong interpersonal skills.
  • You have a good understanding of finance fundamentals and current economic conditions.
  • You are eager to learn new concepts, ask questions, and grow your expertise.

  • Thoughtful perspectives on economic trends and their impact on consumer credit performance.
  • Passion for analysis, attention to detail, and a desire to build a career in credit research and ratings.
  • Why Choose Fitch :

  • Hybrid Work Environment : 3 days a week in office required based on your line of business and location
  • A Culture of Learning & Mobility : Dedicated trainings, leadership development and mentorship programs designed to ensure that your time at Fitch will be a continuous learning opportunity

  • Fitch is committed to providing global securities markets with objective, timely, independent and forward-looking credit opinions. To protect Fitch's credibility and reputation, our employees must take every precaution to avoid conflicts of interest or any appearance of a conflict of interest. Should you be successful in the recruitment process at Fitch Ratings you will be asked to declare any securities holdings and other potential conflicts prior to commencing employment.
