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.

If you can follow this fast-paced market while maintaining best-in-class editorial standards and collaborating with our team of reporters, analysts, and lawyers, we want to work with you. WHAT YOU’LL WORK ON Every day is different, but here’s an example of the kind of things you’ll work on: - Breaking news — You’ll regularly break stories on what’s going on in distressed debt, from deteriorating company earnings all the way to messy out-of-court restructurings - Feature-writing — You’ll know when to pull the trigger on longer-form articles that connect the dots between daily news and broader market trends - Generating ideas — You’ll provide a consistent stream of new ideas, whether that’s identifying new situations to cover, or thinking up new ways to cover them - Monitoring market
