Job description

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

The Sales Team is at the forefront of building client relationships and driving revenue through enhancing clients work flow. This role focuses on bringing new clients and cross selling within existing accounts. There is a high degree of collaboration between other teams to execute the sales growth strategy; enhance our high quality, high functioning, great looking, easy to use products; and to produce a top tier customer experience.

This is an opportunity to join a highly motivated and driven team within an exponentially growing business, servicing the largest financial market in the world, giving you the opportunity to accelerate your Sales career.

What you'll work on

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

• Managing and building strong relationships across a book of key 9fin clients

• Demonstrating new features & products from the 9fin platform to clients
• Attending relevant industry conferences and events
• Developing pricing strategies to upsell and cross sell additional 9fin products & services
• Engaging with senior decision makers and influencers at existing clients to understand future business / product opportunities
• Maintaining up to date records of client interactions via our CRM

About You

• A track record of managing & growing a book of enterprise clients (min $1m+ book of business)
• Ability to plan and prioritise important tasks and work with accuracy and attention to detail
• Effective written and verbal communication skills conveying messages accurately and concisely
• Team player, but also able to work effectively alone (help is always at hand if you need though!)
• Existing relationships / network within the Leveraged Finance community would be beneficial

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.

A note from the hiring manager

Now is an exciting time to join 9fin. In 2020 we had a handful of clients and an untested product, but thanks to the efforts of the incredible engineering and content teams, we’ve made huge strides in the last four years. We now find ourselves with a game-changing tech platform and huge opportunities across the world’s biggest financial institutions.

We need driven and ambitious sales and account management professionals to help us break into new markets, launch brand new product lines and unlock 9fin’s massive potential. It’s a great opportunity to become part of a fast-paced and high-achieving team, with plenty of room for growth as 9fin push from start-up to scale-up and beyond!
