Credit Research Analyst - High Yield / Distressed Debt

  • Conducting in-depth analysis of companies' financial statements and creditworthiness.
  • Evaluating credit risks and making recommendations based on the analysis.
  • Monitoring economic trends and market developments that may impact credit portfolios.
  • Collaborating with other teams to ensure accurate and up-to-date information is shared.
  • Preparing detailed reports and presentations on credit research findings.
  • Staying up-to-date with industry regulations and best practises.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
