The Role: CREDit Graduate Program Analyst – Structured Finance
Grade (for internal applicants only): 9
Program Overview When you join S&P Global Ratings, you join one of the world's leading providers of independent credit risk research and benchmarks. You are part of a team that produces high quality fundamental research based on established criteria.
Our CREDit Graduate Program is a two-year training and development opportunity with our next intake joining us in September 2026. CREDit Program Analysts are hired for a specific practice; however, you are expected to transition between practices as dictated by business demands. In your first year CREDit analysts focus on acquiring skills and knowledge from your home practice. In your second year CREDit analysts gain exposure to other practices through a mix of classroom training and small projects or short-term secondments. All analysts combine practical work experience with the completion of a relevant qualification. For example, this could be the CFA.
The Practice S&P’s Structured Finance (SF) division analyzes credit risk of debt instruments backed by an isolated pool of assets. The division is split into four main sectors, based off of the type of assets which back their respective debt-issuances: Asset-Backed Securities, Residential Mortgage Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities, and Collateralized Loan Obligations. SF credit analysis is unique in that it is not focused upon the credit risk of a company with ongoing operations; instead, SF analysts generally rate to the cash flow and credit risk characteristics of the asset pool backing a set of securities, as well as the legal/structural risks relating to the structures which companies use to isolate these assets.
