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:

• Primary analysis – Review new debt transactions in the high yield and leveraged loan market, ensuring we produce quick and insightful reports

• Secondary analysis – With guidance from senior analysts, deep dive into high yield earnings reports, provide financial updates on specific credits, and produce market-leading predictive analysis and industry research

• Relationship & product evangelism – Support clients, answer questions on our platform and provide insight. Gather feedback and work with the product team to develop the 9fin offering, taking the lead on new and exciting developments

About You

This role will be a great fit if you demonstrate:

• A strong interest in financial markets, and a desire to learn about how they work

• Strong communication and writing skills – 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 are 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!
