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.
The opportunity
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.
What You’ll Work On
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.
