Legal Operations Associate

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.

Every day is different, but here are examples:

• Proving a quality assurance check on the reports prepared by attorneys

• Collecting data on key features of leveraged loans and high yield bonds

• Communicating with clients via emails in response to inquiries

• Using 9fin’s proprietary technology to build and expand our covenant database for subscribers

• Logging and tracking the status of client inquiries

This role will be a great fit if you:

• Have an interest in financial markets with a desire to learn more about fIxed income investments in general, and their legal terms in particular

• Have outstanding reading and writing skills

• Have excellent networking and relationship building skills

• Are meticulous in your attention to detail

• Have strong written and verbal communication skills and are able to convey messages accurately and concisely

• Are a team player, but also able to work autonomously

• Are willing to work on multiple projects with overlapping time frame

Due to our global operations, you will work a rotational shift pattern, alternating between an EU shift (9 AM – 6 PM UK time) and a US shift (1 PM – 10 PM UK time). The schedule will be determined by the team. You should be comfortable with periods where your working hours will differ from standard UK office hours.

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.
