Senior CEEMEA Markets Reporter

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

9fin’s team of financial journalists is looking for the newest member of the CEEMEA team, a hungry reporter who can hit the ground running, make an immediate impact and help establish 9fin’s newest product offering.

• Deliver exclusive news and agenda-setting reporting, balancing fast, market-moving stories with deeper investigations into the trends shaping CEEMEA credit markets.

• Cover a wide variety of asset classes across a diverse region that matters more now than ever

• Collaborate with 9fin’s global team of journalists to break news, verify information and produce insightful, cross-market reporting.

• Attending conferences, briefings, and other occasions to build and maintain source relationships

• Receiving formal and informal training in interviewing, source-building, news writing, media law and financial markets
