Private Credit Data 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.

The opportunity

9fin is looking for someone to collect and analyse data in this very opaque market.

• You must be comfortable with reaching out at scale to actors in the private credit market, persisting until you reach the decision maker, and encouraging them to submit data.

• Data management — You’ll work with 9fin’s data operations team in Belfast, and with engineering and product teams to manage data entry and quality control for a private credit database that clients truly value

• Reports — You’ll work with our journalists and analysts to identify trends in the data you’re collecting, and collaborate on regular insight reports

Who you are

If you have experience of a) getting hold of and b) deriving insights from large and detailed datasets in capital markets, and are excited by the challenge of lifting the hood on a fast-growing but opaque and fragmented corner of the leveraged credit markets, we want to work with you!

• Experienced — 2+ years working in banking/asset management/ratings/data/analysis or any other area of credit markets, especially if that experience includes working with private credit specifically

• Personable — Able to build relationships with key market participants and get them comfortable with sharing their data

• A team player — Comfortable working with journalists, analysts, engineers and product managers to build a best-in-class database

• Detail-oriented — Able to understand nuance and hone in on important details, without losing sight of the bigger picture

• Proficiency with data analysis and visualization tools like Microsoft Excel and Google Workplace.

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.
