9fin seeks a private credit reporter

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 nine of the top 10 Investment Banks, leading Asset Managers, Hedge Funds and Law Firms.

The opportunity

We are looking for hungry and ambitious reporters to cover the secretive world of private credit. We want people who recognize a hot lead, have the tenacity to pursue it, and the writing skills to tell it to our readers — and leave them wanting more.

You’ll build a network of sources, embed yourself in the market and sniff out the agenda-setting scoops and analysis that keep 9fin ahead of the competition. If you enjoy digging up information and telling people why it matters, this is the job for you.

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

  • Identify sources and build relationships
  • Report and write compelling news and feature stories
  • Develop a strong command of the corporate credit world
  • Navigate biases and have a strong obligation to the truth

About You

This role will be a great fit if you:

  • Are skilled at storytelling and making news meaningful
  • Enjoy developing and building strategic relationships
  • Have strong interpersonal skills and can easily spark conversation
  • Have a passion for high-quality journalism
  • Have a strong interest in finance and a curiosity to learn more
  • Have a relentless curiosity and ability to gather, assess, and present information in a niche area
  • Appreciate the value of a good argument
  • Thrive in a fast-paced and fun work environment
