Are you passionate about fixed income markets and interested in how sovereigns, supranational institutions, government agencies and other public sector issuers raise funding? Do you enjoy analysing market dynamics, understanding investor demand and working on high-profile bond transactions in a fast-paced environment? We're looking for someone like that who can:

• Directly originate and execute a broad range of debt capital markets transactions for public sector clients, including sovereign, supranational, agency (SSA), local authority and government-related bond issuances across multiple currencies.
• Monitor global fixed income markets, government bond performance, central bank developments, macroeconomic trends and investor activity to identify opportunities and risks for clients.
• Analyse funding markets, yield curves, relative value opportunities, issuance trends and investor feedback to help advise clients on transaction timing, structure, pricing and execution strategy.
