Primary Purpose of the Position
The primary purpose of the Investment Specialist, Fixed Income role is to provide leverage to the investment organization by sharing T.

The Investment Specialist, Fixed Income would tie together the various investment and market insights (Fixed Income views, perspectives from the CIO group and other differentiated views coming out of the investment organization) to develop content and share those investment perspectives with clients as a generalist fixed income subject matter expert. The individual is expected to work closely with the Fixed Income CIO’s and will engage with clients in discussions around macro-economic trends and investment opportunities presented within global fixed income asset classes. The Investment Specialist will spend the majority of their time (between 40-60%) traveling in the field and at conferences with the relationship management teams, supporting T. Rowe Price’s positioning in the market and ongoing sales and client retention efforts.
Principle Responsibilities
Maintain broad knowledge of investment perspectives throughout the firm by attending investment meetings across all investment division and leveraging insights from the Fixed Income team, the CIO group and the broader Investment Specialist Group in order to articulate a broader point of view from T Rowe Price regarding the global economy, macro-economic trends and underlying fixed income asset classes.

Meeting types may vary to include one-to-one meetings as well as larger group presentations of 50 or more.
