What You’ll Do
Follow developments in fixed income and money markets, including Treasury Bills, Treasury Bonds, Corporate Bonds, Sukuk, and Eurobonds.
Research economic indicators, interest rates, inflation, and monetary policy, and assess how they affect the market.

Present your findings and investment views during team discussions and investment committee meetings.
Keep research files, financial models, and market databases accurate and up to date.
Build relationships with issuers, banks, brokers, rating agencies, and other market participants.
Follow internal policies and procedures, ensuring research activities comply with applicable FRA guidelines.
Work on ad hoc analysis and research requests from the Fixed Income team.
What You’ll Need
1-4 years of experience in fixed income, money markets, or a related financial analysis role.
A bachelor’s degree in Finance, Economics, Accounting, or a related field.
A good understanding of fixed income instruments and money markets.
Strong financial analysis skills, including the ability to review financial statements and assess credit risk.
Understanding of fixed income valuation and modelling, particularly yield curves, duration, and convexity.
An interest in macroeconomic developments and how they affect interest rates and bond markets.
Strong analytical skills and attention to detail when working with financial data.
Good written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain findings clearly.
The ability to work closely with different stakeholders and manage multiple tasks.
Nice to have
Experience in asset management or a bank’s Treasury department, particularly ALM or a dealing room.
Experience in financial research or investment analysis.
Familiarity with the Egyptian fixed income market.
Experience using Bloomberg or Refinitiv Eikon.
Advanced Excel skills; knowledge of Python or Power BI is a plus.

Why this role matters
As Thndr’s managed mandates grow, the team needs solid research to understand market movements, assess risks, and make better investment decisions.

Who Are We?
Thndr was founded on a bold dream to democratize access to investing through smart tech and human-centric design. This is simply our way of saying we give anyone with a smartphone the simple and easy access they need to preserve and grow their wealth. At the same time, we’re shaping the future of investing while actively driving the economies we serve by promoting local investment products.
History has shown that investing is the single greatest way to build long-term wealth, but before Thndr, only a very small percentage of people had access to it due to:
High barriers to entry - In the form of excessive minimum account balances, complex, outdated onboarding, and low financial literacy.
Irrelevant experience - Catered toward expert traders and financial specialists, therefore alienating the majority of the population.
Fragmented offering - Investment products were not gathered in a single, intuitive outlet.
We don't just talk about change, we deliver it. Here's a glimpse into our impact so far:
5.5 million app downloads
EGP 1B+ average daily traded value across 2025
