The posting

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 recruiting a number of M&A reporters in London and New York to elevate our coverage of the full sponsor-backed deal lifecycle. This an exciting opportunity to join 9fin’s world-class international newsroom of over one hundred journalists, correspondents and editors reporting across the ever-converging leveraged finance, private credit, asset-backed, CLO and distressed asset classes.

The M&A reporter will cover the lifecycle of a deal from advisor mandates right through to exit, as well as every development and trend affecting how companies are bought, sold and financed. The intelligence gained will be valuable across 9fin’s asset classes, making this a critical and cross-functional role.

WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON

- Shape M&A coverage, producing both a steady flow of deal scoops and an incisive series of analyses and commentaries on the market;

- Work closely with editors, data teams, product teams, sales and marketing to develop the best possible coverage for our clients;

- Identify and break M&A stories

- Participate in industry events and moderate conference panels;

- Mentor junior journalists and become a source of support and knowledge within the team.

ABOUT YOU

We think the following would lead to a particularly good fit, but if this doesn’t perfectly match you, please don’t be put off applying:

- You will already have a fabulous source network and a track record of breaking M&A scoops;

- You can demonstrate strong news judgement, with proven ability to recognise scoop potential, pitch proprietary stories and maintain a content pipeline;

- You have a portfolio of thought-provoking analyses on your area of expertise;

- You are comfortable with data and finding stories within data;

- You hold yourself to high standards of accuracy in your reporting and in your writing;

- You are able to navigate biases and question authority where necessary;

- You are an emotionally mature individual, able to receive and action feedback, but also able to proactively identify and communicate issues and obstacles for yourself and the broader team.

OUR BENEFITS

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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
