Freelance Analyst - Banking

Fitch Solutions, a global leader in emerging markets analysis, is currently looking for a Freelance Analyst who specializes in the Banking sector to update quarterly industry reports.

Each Banking report covers a single country and contains both qualitative and quantitative analysis, including Fitch Solutions’ proprietary sector-specific and macroeconomic data and forecasts.

As the Banking reports tie in with our Country Risk analysis, we are looking for candidates with a strong interest in current affairs across developed and emerging markets. The successful applicant will also have strong research and writing skills, as well as an ability to work with and analyze large volumes of data.

The Freelance Analyst will need to:

• Research recent industry events and relevant issues affecting the industry in a specific country.
• Research recent activities of various companies and institutions linked with that sector and analyze the growth strategies.
• Identify market and company trends.
• Update the text of the reports based on your research and the new data forecasts provided.

Basic Requirements:

• A degree of 2:1 or higher in banking and finance, economics, or another relevant field.
• Fluent English writing style.
• Keen interest in economics, global financial markets, and world affairs.
• Previous experience (academic or professional) in written analysis and research concerning banking, including balance sheet analysis and financial soundness.
