~1 min read

Thndr’s Asset Management team is growing as we take on more managed mandates, and we’re looking for a Fixed Income Associate to support the team’s research and investment decisions.

In this role, you’ll spend most of your time analysing fixed income and money market instruments, following market movements, and understanding how changes in interest rates, inflation, and monetary policy affect investment opportunities.
