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.

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

• Set the news agenda on distressed debt investing, restructurings and bankruptcies

• Deliver and edit proprietary news, trend stories and enterprise stories. Editing duties include reviewing the sourcing, attribution, evaluating stakeholder responses and undertaking other legal checks

• Manage a team of reporters and support their professional development

• Work closely with credit and legal analysts on analytical pieces

• Coordinate and collaborate with other teams on subjects such as private credit, leveraged finance, structured finance

• Work with the 9fin engineering & business team to develop new product features and improve publishing processes

If you are a financial journalist with editing and management experience, with the following attributes, we are interested in hearing from you:

• A strong knowledge of distressed debt investing, corporate restructuring and bankruptcy cases

• Good understanding of Media Law

• Excellent networking and relationship building skills

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.
