  • Generating ideas - You'll provide a consistent stream of new ideas, whether that's identifying new situations to cover, or thinking up new ways to cover them
  • Monitoring markets - You'll learn to harness our technology to identify new opportunities, ensuring that 9fin's coverage of the distressed market is timely and comprehensive
  • About you

  • Experienced - 2+ year of finance reporting experience, preferably on distressed debt markets
  • Personable - Inquisitive and outgoing, always making new connections and sharing ideas
