Client Onboarding & Implementation Manager - Private 9fin

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.

About Private 9fin

Private 9fin is our newest and most powerful product, designed to bring clarity and structure to some of the most sensitive and complex information in credit markets. It gives clients secure access to confidential issuer documents and information, and integrates them seamlessly into the broader 9fin platform.

This data powers our in-depth covenant analysis, credit research, and proprietary analytics — helping clients move faster, stay compliant, and make smarter decisions.
