Job Description

About 9fin

9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.

Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.

Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.

We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.

What you’ll work on

Every day is different, but here’s an example of the kind of things you’ll work on:

• Analysis – As either a generalist or a sector analyst, conduct deep dives into private company earnings reports, financial updates on specific credits, and reviews of new deals. Produce market-leading thematic research, including trend reports and differentiated sector analyses

• AI-first company – Leverage AI and BI tools to automate workflows, drive efficiency, and deliver data-driven, complex credit analysis. We have a healthy budget to support a range of AI tools that can complement your skillset and enhance your work

• Market engagement – Build and maintain relationships with buyside investors and advisors to gather market insights

• Relationship & product evangelism – Support clients by answering questions on our platform and providing insights. Gather feedback and collaborate with the product team to enhance the 9fin offering, taking a lead role in driving new and exciting developments

About You

This role will be a great fit if you demonstrate:

• 2+ years of experience in high yield or leveraged finance markets. This may be via sell-side, buy-side or third party research firms

• Strong communication – demonstrate clear and effective written and verbal communication, producing clean, timely, and accurate copy in a concise manner. Exhibit excellent attention to detail

• Problem solving – enjoy interpreting information and constructing effective solutions to complex problems. Be a team player, but also able to effectively work alone (although help is always on hand if you need)

• Drive – Bring an inquisitive and passionate mindset, demonstrating a strong interest in the development and dynamics of financial (and especially) capital markets. A self-starter, you should be up for the challenge of a role that will morph and transform as we continue to grow

We’re open to candidates from a range of backgrounds – if you’re curious, analytical, and enjoy working with financial data, we’d love to hear from you!
