Editor Asia

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 to add to its new editorial team in Asia. We are looking to build a best in-class newsroom focused on breaking news and producing high quality content across distressed debt, leveraged finance origination and private credit.

You’ll be expected to hit the ground running, building out your own source base and delivering market-moving insight and scoops. But you’ll also be given full support and training in navigating the specialist financial landscape, developing your news-gathering, writing and interviewing skills, and understanding the markets 9fin covers.

We are hiring experienced professionals and those looking to establish themselves in the Asian distressed debt market.

What you’ll work on

• Setting the agenda for a team of journalists with the goal of delivering scoops and thought-provoking analysis

• Writing your own sophisticated coverage of Asian credit markets

• Coordinating with colleagues in US and European newsrooms

• Providing support and guidance to journalists, while setting the example as team leader

About You

This role will be a great fit if you:

• Are excited about the prospect of helping to build a new product and newsroom that can achieve success over the long-term

• Have deep knowledge of Asian credit markets and a strong network of contacts

• Have the ability to lead a team, set the standard, and create a healthy working environment

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.

9fin is an equal opportunities employer

At 9fin we are dedicated to building and promoting a fair and inclusive workplace where everyone can reach their full potential and truly belong. We recognize that building diverse teams enables a more creative and productive environment. If you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t perfectly align with the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might just be who we’re looking for — either for this role, or perhaps another.
