Client Onboarding & Implementation Manager - Private 9fin

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.

About Private 9fin

Private 9fin is our newest and most powerful product, designed to bring clarity and structure to some of the most sensitive and complex information in credit markets. It gives clients secure access to confidential issuer documents and information, and integrates them seamlessly into the broader 9fin platform.

This data powers our in-depth covenant analysis, credit research, and proprietary analytics — helping clients move faster, stay compliant, and make smarter decisions.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a proactive and detail-oriented Client Onboarding Manager to join the Private 9fin team. This is a hands-on role focused on ensuring our clients experience a seamless and professional onboarding journey — setting them up for long-term success.

You’ll be the first dedicated client services hire for Private 9fin, owning the full onboarding process from initial setup to go-live. Acting as the bridge between clients and internal teams, you’ll design, implement, and continuously improve the frameworks that make onboarding fast, scalable, compliant, and client-first.

• Relay client feedback to internal teams to continuously improve user experience and operational workflows.
  

Governance & Reporting

• Maintain a centralised tracker monitoring all onboarding projects and client statuses (signed, onboarding, live).

• Own onboarding reporting and governance, including progress updates, resourcing summaries, and leadership reporting.

• Oversee operational readiness and compliance processes in partnership with client compliance teams.
  

Scaling the Product

• Build and refine repeatable onboarding frameworks, playbooks, and process documentation.

• Identify opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce manual steps, and enhance the client experience.
