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.

We are looking for a senior high yield capital markets lawyer to help develop our offering of high yield bond covenant research and analytics. The role will report into our London office with flexibility to work from home/remotely as needed. This role offers a unique opportunity for an experienced lawyer to use their expertise within a rapidly growing start-up environment, with much greater work-life balance than can be found in a typical law firm environment.

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

• Reviewing high yield bond documentation to produce commercially focused and insightful analysis on primary transactions.

• Writing topical reports on secondary situations collaborating closely with 9fin’s team of journalists and credit analysts

• Writing thematic reports to explain covenant trends and innovations to our clients

• Answering client questions about the covenant packages of specific borrowers and issuers

• Using our proprietary technology to build and expand our covenant databases

• Working with 9fin’s engineering and product teams to develop new legal and
  covenant product features

• Delivering seminars, teach-ins and podcast segments as a subject matter expert in
  leveraged finance covenants

• Representing 9fin in the press and at industry conferences and events

This role will be a great fit if you have:

• 8+ years of experience within a high yield capital markets team at a top-tier law firm

• Experience of drafting, reviewing and negotiating high yield bond documentation

• Keen commercial awareness of leveraged finance markets and capital structures

• Strong technical understanding of how leveraged finance covenants and definitions
  operate

• Solid existing network of relationships within the leveraged finance community

• Excellent networking and relationship building skills

• Effective written and verbal communication skills

• Ability to work both independently and collaboratively

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.
