The Team

Morningstar DBRS’ Program Management team leads strategic initiatives that enable the efficiency and effectiveness of the Credit Group and aligns projects with the group’s overarching business goals and OKRs. Project managers on this team interact across many Morningstar DBRS functions, including Product, Data, Technology, Analytical, Legal, Compliance, and Business Development teams, among others.

The Role

We are hiring a Senior Project Manager who is highly collaborative, detail-oriented and self-directed. In this role, you will manage critical, cross-functional projects in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.

The ideal candidate brings a strong background coordinating globally distributed teams on complex projects. Proven experience owning, planning, and driving projects to completion is essential, as well as the ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-moving setting.

Job Responsibilities

  • Create and oversee project timelines, tasks, responsibilities, and deliverables, working with global teams on implementation.
  • Partner with external and internal project stakeholders to define and document project scope and technical requirements when needed.
  • Communicate regular project status updates across all stakeholder groups.
  • Identify, monitor, and mitigate project risks.
  • Analyze key metrics impacting project progress and/or project team performance and work with the business to resolve issues and remove impediments.
  • Cultivate a culture of team collaboration grounded in open and honest communication.
  • Drive continuous process improvement through feedback loops, coaching, retrospectives, and individual development to help the team achieve optimal performance.
  • Partner with groups across the Credit Group and throughout Morningstar.

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.
