Credit Analyst

About 9fin

The world's largest asset class, debt, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos 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 include 9 of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

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

• Primary analysis – Review new debt transactions in the US high yield and leveraged loan market, ensuring we produce quick and insightful reports 

• Secondary analysis – With guidance from senior analysts, deep dive into high yield earnings reports, provide financial updates on specific credits, and produce market-leading predictive analysis and industry research

• Relationship & product evangelism – Support clients, answer questions on our platform and provide insight. Gather feedback and work with the product team to develop the 9fin offering, taking the lead on new and exciting developments

This role will be a great fit if you demonstrate:

• 0-1 years of experience, or a strong interest in financial markets and desire to learn about how they work

• Strong communication – Demonstrate clear and effective written and verbal  communication, producing clean, timely, and accurate copy in a concise manner. Exhibit excellent attention to detail

• Problem solving – Enjoy interpreting information and constructing effective solutions  to complex problems. Be a team player, but also able to effectively work alone  (although help is always on hand if you need)

• Drive – Bring an inquisitive and passionate mindset, demonstrating a strong interest in the development and dynamics of financial (and especially) capital markets. A self-starter, you are up for the challenge of a role that will morph and transform as we continue to grow
  

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.

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

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

I’ve been very lucky to see 9fin’s rapid growth in the last few years, we took on new challenges and created a name for ourselves in Europe. If you’re up for the challenge, there’s a tonne of exposure to the sharp-end of fixed income markets, great opportunities for your own career development and a place for you to have a real stake in 9fin’s future success"
- Rubi Gjika, Head of Credit
