Description

**IG Credit Portfolio Manager (Active and Buy & Maintain)

We have been engaged by a leading global insurance firm that is looking to hire a Credit Portfolio Manager (5-10 years' experience) to join their portfolio management team in London and to focus on managing IG Credit Portfolios (Mostly GBP and some EUR &USD), as well as getting involved in a range of other initiatives and projects across the business.

This is a growing firm and team, with a great and collaborative culture.

This would be a strong opportunity for anyone that is also open-minded to expanding their asset class knowledge to include alternatives (even if no previous experience), as well asto get involved in a range of initiatives/projects outside of being a portfolio manager, given how many exciting projects that the team is involved with.

This role is not ideal for someone that just wants to be focused on being a PM without getting involvedin other parts of the business (although being a PM would be the vast majority of the role).

The team offers a flexible working policy, with most people in the office 2-3 days a week and the rest of the time spent working from home.

**Responsibilities

Management of Buy & Maintain/Active IG Credit portfolios
Working with the head of portfolio management and other portfolio managers to set the direction for the portfolio management group
Analysing market conditions and understanding the investment environment in order to develop informed and measured investment opinions
Getting involved in a range of adhoc projects and potentially looking at other asset classes, including alternatives (important that anyone who joins is open to working on a range of projects outside of direct portfolio management responsibilities)
Taking into account ESG considerations as part of portfolio manager responsibility

**Requirements

A track record of performance in IG credit portfolio management (at least 45+ years running a portfolio)
Strong understanding of global credit markets, including knowledge of specific issuers and sectors within the GBP IG space
An understanding of the insurance space (or any kind of experience managing assets on behalf of insurance clients)
Experience managing global portfolios across multiple currencies is a big plus (including EUR, USD)
All necessary regulatory approvals.
CFA certified (preferred)
Experience using Blackrock Aladdin (preferred but not required)
Excellent attention to detail
Ability to form strong relationships with multiple stakeholders across various countries/geographies
Strong team player/collegial mentality
