High Yield Portfolio Manager

About the Opportunity

A selective US investment manager renowned for its disciplined investment culture and top-tier performance, is expanding its presence into Europe. As part of this strategic build-out, the firm is seeking an exceptional High Yield Portfolio Manager to join its London office. This is a rare opportunity to take the lead on European credit coverage for the platform, running a long/short mandate with a primary focus on High Yield names and the flexibility to move across the capital structure when opportunity arises. Backed by the firm’s deep resources, robust infrastructure, and global network, you will have the autonomy to shape and execute your strategy while working closely with colleagues across regions.

Responsibilities

• Lead European credit coverage for the platform
• Run a long/short mandate with a focus on High Yield names
• Move across the capital structure when opportunity arises
• Shape and execute your strategy independently
• Work closely with colleagues across regions

About You

The ideal candidate will either have established portfolio management experience or a clearly attributable track record that demonstrates their ability to generate alpha. We are looking for high-calibre individuals from leading credit hedge funds, other top-tier buyside institutions, or High Yield desks on the sell-side. You will bring a strong analytical skill set, deep issuer knowledge, and a proven ability to identify, structure, and execute high-conviction trades, while managing risk within a disciplined framework.

Eligibility

For the right candidate, this role offers a high degree of independence, significant upside potential, and the chance to be a key part of building the fund’s European footprint from the ground up.
