VP Marketing

Job Description

About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt capital markets, the picture is completely different. It still behaves like it’s in the 1980s; trillions of dollars of trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and corporate credit information is imperfect and scattered.

Our mission is to change this.

9fin's proprietary technology delivers fast and comprehensive financial, credit, legal & ESG analysis. Our clients are able to make faster, more informed decisions, win more business and most importantly, save time.

Our fast growing list of clients include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

The Role

We’re looking for a world‑class VP Marketing to lead and scale 9fin’s global marketing function.

Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a critical executive role responsible for owning our end‑to‑end marketing strategy - from positioning and product marketing, through demand generation and ABM, to brand, events, PR/AR/IR and customer engagement.

You’ll be both a strategic leader and a hands‑on operator: setting direction, building a high‑performing team, and personally driving high‑impact initiatives. You’ll partner closely with Sales, Product and Customer Success to ensure tight go‑to‑market alignment as we scale from ~$50m ARR to $150m+.
