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. The world’s largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data. Technology has revolutionised equity markets with electronic trading, quant algorithms, 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 includes 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading asset managers, hedge funds, and law firms. ## What you’ll work on Every day is different, but here’s an example of the kind of work you’ll do: - Cover the European leveraged finance market across M&A market activity, deal origination, new debt issuance, and stressed credits—producing fast, accurate news and analysis for 9fin’s platform. - Build source relationships with syndication desks, buy-side investors, traders, and legal counsel active in European leveraged finance. - Write breaking news, market roundups, and analytical features on deals, issuers, and structural trends in European leveraged finance. - Track pricing, structure, and market conditions across European high yield and leveraged loan markets, providing context and colour for 9fin’s client base. - Support senior reporters covering the distressed desk by providing leveraged finance context on issuers migrating from performing to stressed or distressed; also work with the private credit desk on origination coverage. - Contribute to 9fin’s broader European content output, including newsletters, sponsored content, podcasts, and platform-based analytical products. ## About you This role will be a great fit if you: - Have 1–3 years of experience in leveraged finance, loan/bond markets, or financial journalism covering credit, M&A, or private equity markets. - Are experienced in building a source network in European leveraged finance (or similar private financial markets), and are comfortable reaching out to market participants for information and commentary. - Have a solid understanding of leveraged loan and high yield bond structures, pricing dynamics, and documentation. - Are a fast, accurate writer who can produce clean, market-ready copy under deadline pressure. - Are based in London and able to work on a hybrid basis from 9fin’s London office. - Are collaborative and willing to work across team lines—supporting the distressed and private credit desks while maintaining your own LevFin coverage. ## Benefits We’re a scaling start-up, and we enjoy sharing our success.
