"Working at BMI offers a pathway for professional development. Starting as a Telecoms & Technology Analyst, I gained valuable analytical and client engagement skills. BMI's commitment to mobility allowed me to leverage this experience through promotion to a commercially focused Product Strategy role, where I am involved in high-profile projects which contributes strongly to my career development."
Madeleine S. - Product Strategist
Personal Growth
"BMI has been instrumental in my career and personal growth, demonstrated when I transitioned from leading the Asia Country Risk team in Singapore to managing the Europe Country Risk team in London. Taking the reins in Europe on the eve of the Russia -Ukraine war meant that I had to build a resilient team, which was both an intellectual and management challenge that the company actively supported me in."
Anwita B. - Head of Europe Country Risk
Professional Development
"I started my career as an Associate Analyst on the Sub-Saharan Africa Country Risk team. Since then, I have taken responsibility for a diverse portfolio of markets, regularly producing analysis and insights for clients. Working at BMI has enabled me to develop my interests in data management and visualization, and in producing thematic analysis on topics such as the BRICS expansion and rising fiscal risks in Sub-Saharan Africa."

London to New York
"I was very grateful to be given the opportunity to move from London to New York in late 2022, where I’ve been based since. Being immersed in a new culture, working with a new set of colleagues, interacting with new clients and taking responsibility for covering a new set of economies has been a very enriching professional experience and it is one that I believe has really helped me to develop as an analyst. We always reference how we are a global research firm and being presented with these sorts of opportunities is really a testament to that."

Singapore to Canada
"My wife is employed by a Canadian bank and was asked to relocate to their head office in Toronto for 12 months. When I approached BMI to see if they would allow me to temporarily relocate to Toronto as well, they did not hesitate to try and accommodate my request. I appreciated how quickly and how open they were to find a temporary solution to my family's circumstances. As such, I'm extremely grateful for the flexibility and support BMI provided me and my family."

Pretoria to Manchester
“When Fitch opened its Manchester office in 2019, I applied for the senior sub-editor position advertised there for BMI. It was a life goal of mine to relocate to another country and experience a different way of life, and being able to do so with a company that I already worked for was a wonderful opportunity. My move coincided with the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020, when lockdowns were being implemented across the globe. I’ll always remain grateful for how BMI and my managers supported me during that stressful time.”
Margeaux E. Deputy Chief Sub-Editor, BMI
