The team works very closely to serve the critical middle market CLO constituency and other smaller leveraged loan issuers. Our global team has a fast-paced work flow and we need to communicate seamlessly and collegially across groups. The interactions are largely internal, though there are several opportunities to speak with CLO Managers explaining our CE rationale and our methodology Our team serves as one of the best training grounds for learning credit analysis and how S&P performs its analytical function
The Impact:
The analyses you produce will be used by other S&P teams to rate Collateralized Loan Obligations, and by our clients to evaluate the credit quality of their overall loan portfolios.
CLO Investors and Managers rely on our evaluation of middle market companies. Although our credit opinions are not publicly disclosed, they have a tremendous impact not only on the credit quality of the CLOs we rate but also on the ability of small businesses to borrow from an important segment of the financial markets.
As a Credit Estimate Research assistant you will analyze companies across a variety of sectors and you will learn the most important determinants of credit quality for small and medium sized companies.

Our most successful Credit Estimate Research assistants move up within our team or into the other analytical teams that focus specifically on individual sectors.

You will initially spend most of your time learning the methodology by which S&P performs credit analysis and getting familiar with our analytical tools and processes. You will focus on analyzing a number of diverse companies and learn how to evaluate credit quality as efficiently as possible.
As you gain experience, you may deal with investors directly and work on research projects.
