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

At 9fin, we've built a dedicated Data Operations team in Belfast to enhance our data processing capabilities.

You'll be part of a highly skilled team focused on ensuring high-quality, lightning-fast data is delivered to our platform, enabling our clients to act with speed and confidence.

You'll work closely with teams in New York, London, and Belfast across Leveraged Finance, Structured Credit, Private Credit, and Distressed Debt.

What you’ll work on

Every day brings new challenges, and the team’s responsibilities will continue to expand.

Associate - News & Market Data Team

Providing fast, reliable news and market data across a wide range of financial markets is no small task. Our team uses cutting-edge technology to source, analyse, and publish the most relevant information for our clients.

Here’s a snapshot of what you might work on:

• Leverage proprietary technology – Understand and navigate HTML, using 9fin’s in-house tools to automate publishing and streamline data workflows.

• Monitor and review market-moving news – Identify price-sensitive information in articles surfaced by our in-house aggregator.

• Track financial results and company performance – Ensure timely updates on earnings publications and corporate disclosures.

• Portfolio management – You will take ownership of your portfolio of companies within a specific industry, ensuring that all investor relations details are accurately maintained and up to date. You’ll be responsible for monitoring and recording key reporting dates, ensuring they are accurately tracked and updated on internal and client facing platforms.

• Analyse new deal terms and structures – Act fast to alert clients to key developments in the market.

• Team player – You enjoy working collaboratively, supporting those around you, and contributing to shared success.

• Growth mindset – You believe that dedication and hard work drive improvement, and you’re always looking to develop new skills.

• Strong attention to detail – You have exceptional analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly identify key information and act on it.

• Ability to work quickly and accurately – You thrive in a fast-paced environment, where monitoring multiple sources of information and making rapid, informed decisions is key.

• Ability to prioritise multiple tasks – You are adept at managing competing priorities, ensuring that the most important tasks are addressed in a timely and efficient manner.

Due to our global operations, you will work a rotational shift pattern, alternating between an EU shift (9 AM – 6 PM UK time) and a US shift (1 PM – 10 PM UK time). The schedule will be determined by the team. You should be comfortable with periods where your working hours will differ from standard UK office hours.

This role is well suited to those with backgrounds in business, data analytics, journalism, or other disciplines requiring strong analytical and communication skills. More than specific experience, we’re looking for individuals who can work at pace, spot what matters, and adapt quickly in a dynamic environment.
