A note from the hiring manager

Be interested, and ask questions! The most impressive people I’ve worked with have showngenuine curiosity in some or most parts of what we do. Whether that’s being mystified by anew offbeat deal structure, or developing your knowledge of credit market dynamics, lots ofwhat we do involves solving problems.

At 9fin we’re here to decode and understand these problems. From there we provide clientsthe best‑in‑class data, insight or research – and as a Credit Analyst you’ll be at theforefront of this drive. You’ll have a clear role in providing market leading analysis to 9fin’sinstitutional client base, in addition to aiding the growth and development of the existingteam.

If you’re up for the challenge,there’s a tonne of exposure to the sharp‑end of fixed income markets, great opportunities foryour own career development and a place for you to have a real stake in 9fin’s futuresuccess.
