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 opportunity

We are looking for hungry and ambitious reporters to cover the secretive world of private credit. We want people who recognize a hot lead, have the tenacity to pursue it, and the writing skills to tell it to our readers — and leave them wanting more.

You’ll build a network of sources, embed yourself in the market and sniff out the agenda-setting scoops and analysis that keep 9fin ahead of the competition. If you enjoy digging up information and telling people why it matters, this is the job for you.

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

  • Identify sources and build relationships

  • Report and write compelling news and feature stories

  • Develop a strong command of the corporate credit world

  • Navigate biases and have a strong obligation to the truth

About You

This role will be a great fit if you:

  • Are skilled at storytelling and making news meaningful

  • Enjoy developing and building strategic relationships

  • Have strong interpersonal skills and can easily spark conversation

  • Have a passion for high-quality journalism

  • Have a strong interest in finance and a curiosity to learn more

  • Have a relentless curiosity and ability to gather, assess, and present information in a niche area

  • Appreciate the value of a good argument

  • Thrive in a fast-paced and fun work environment

Our benefits

We’re a scaling start up and we enjoy sharing our success, when the company succeeds, we always reinvest that in our people. We also offer huge amounts of responsibility, an abundance of opportunity for growth and a platform to truly excel.

Finance & Insurance

  • Salary: $90,000-$130,000 + Equity options

  • 401(k) (9fin pay 3%, employee contributions are uncapped)

  • Private Health Insurance, with Dental and Vision

Time off

  • Local public holidays (with the ability to exchange them for alternative days)

  • Hybrid working model

  • Work abroad for up to 3 months a year

  • 1 month paid sabbatical after 5 years of service

  • Enhanced parental leave & flexible working arrangements available

Training & Culture

  • Professional learning and development budget

  • Quarterly team socials
