Legal Analyst

The world's largest asset class in fixed income, operates with the worst data.

Technology has revolutionized the equity markets with electronic trading, quant algos and instantaneous news. However, in debt and fixed income, the picture is completely different. Trades are placed over the phone, news is slow, and information is imperfect. Billions of dollars of capital are allocated to companies, projects and investments all over the world - making the best decisions on where to deploy it requires the best information.

The debt capital markets behave like it’s still the 1980s, it is the last to be technologized - our mission is to make it happen.

We’re rapidly taking market share in the fixed income data industry with our modern solution that our clients love. 9fin's market leading technology uses AI to deliver financial, credit & ESG insights more quickly than anyone else. It uses cutting edge technology to produce fast news and deep-dive predictive analytics. We help our clients win advisory mandates, react to credit trading opportunities faster 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.

9fin is looking for an ambitious and detail-driven Legal Analyst to help develop our offering of leveraged loan and high yield bond covenant research and analytics in the US. The role will report into our New York office with flexibility to work from home / remotely as needed.

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

• Assist in the analysis of legal documentation to spot novel trends / insights within primary and secondary leveraged finance markets

• Can navigate commercial contracts and terms (familiarity with bond or loan documentation would be a plus!)
• Have excellent networking and relationship building skills
• Have strong written and verbal communication skills, conveying messages accurately and concisely
• Are a team player, but also able to work autonomously (help is always at hand if you need though!)
