About this role
Kroll Bond Rating Agency's Funds Ratings team in Dublin is looking for an analyst to join a growing practice that evaluates credit risk across diverse fund structures—from fixed income and private equity to real estate and middle market lending. You'd support the full lifecycle of fund ratings: conducting credit research, building analytical models for cash flow and asset coverage analysis, preparing internal memos and publications, and meeting with fund management teams to assess their investment strategies and risk management capabilities. The role demands strong quantitative skills, particularly in Excel and financial modeling, alongside the ability to synthesize complex information and communicate findings clearly.
The ideal candidate has one to three years of credit analysis experience, ideally in fund lending, investing, or structured finance, though the core requirement is a bachelor's degree in finance, business, mathematics, or a similarly analytical field. You'll need advanced Excel proficiency and cash flow modeling ability; SQL and VBA experience, CFA progression, or familiarity with generative AI tools would strengthen your candidacy. Success here hinges on attention to detail, collaborative instincts across disciplines, and the capacity to manage competing priorities in a dynamic environment.
This is a temporary, full-time hybrid role based in Dublin with three days in the office per week. KBRA offers a pension plan, paid time off, professional development support, and an employee referral program.
