CREDit Ratings Analyst Intern - Structured Finance

S&P Global • Englewood, CO

23h • $25 - $35 • Onsite

About The Position

Join us at S&P Global Ratings, the world’s leading provider of credit ratings. The opportunity provides the chance to embark on a dynamic 10-week summer training and development journey that begins in June 2026. Our program offers unparalleled opportunities for growth, learning, and collaboration.

S&P’s Structured Finance (SF) division analyzes credit risk of debt instruments backed by an isolated pool of assets. The division is split into four main sectors, based off of the type of assets which back their respective debt-issuances: Asset-Backed Securities, Residential Mortgage Backed Securities, Commercial Mortgage Backed Securities, and Collateralized Loan Obligations. SF credit analysis is unique in that it is not focused upon the credit risk of a company with ongoing operations; instead, SF analysts generally rate to the cash flow and credit risk characteristics of the asset pool backing a set of securities, as well as the legal/structural risks relating to the structures which companies use to isolate these assets.
