Forward Deployed Banker

You are a subject matter expert with 3+ years of practitioner experience at a bank, with fluency across end-to-end workflows in your area, not just the data those workflows consume. Specifically, in one or more of the following:

LevFin Origination. Leveraged finance origination, syndication, or capital markets execution at a bulge bracket IB or boutique advisory

Direct Lending. Bank direct lending or private credit desk experience covering underwriting, portfolio monitoring, or origination

CLO Structuring. Bank CLO arranging, warehousing, or structuring desk experience

Bank corporate or transformation functions. Chief Data Office, Digital Transformation, Innovation, or AI Strategy roles where you have led or contributed to AI and workflow transformation projects specifically in leveraged finance, direct lending, or CLO structuring.

Beyond your domain expertise, you are:

Demonstrably interested in technology applied to your domain. For example: participation in an internal AI, data, or digital transformation working group (DIB, CDO office, or equivalent); external vendor champion or evaluation lead for domain tech. You may have already moved to a technology company focused on banking or credit markets.

Familiar with and hands-on with modern domain tooling. Direct user experience of Rogo, Hebbia, AlphaSense, or comparable AI-native platforms in your workflow. You can speak from experience about what works, what doesn't, and why.

Comfortable operating inside confidential deal environments. You will sit close to live pipelines, mandates, and internal deal material. You are disciplined about what does and does not travel between accounts, and clients trust you quickly because of it.

A strong communicator across styles and audiences. Extremely comfortable with the analysts and associates who will be the day-to-day platform users. Highly credible with MDs, group heads, and desk heads. Strong writing and in-person skills. Able to flex style for technical and business audiences.

Highly collaborative across a broad internal network. The function operates in close partnership with GTM, Product, Engineering, and other 9fin teams. You are energised by cross-functional work, you bring people with you rather than working around them, and you know how to translate what you are learning in the field into inputs that other teams can act on.

Outcome-oriented. You measure success by whether clients are actually using the platform differently, not by how many meetings you held or decks you delivered.

Category leadership. 9fin is the reference platform for debt capital markets data and AI. Bank clients use us because there is no comparable alternative.

A genuine domain-expert role. You bring credit markets expertise; we back you with the platform, the product team, and the mandate to make it real inside client organisations.

Direct influence on the product. Field intelligence from your deployments feeds the product roadmap. What you learn on the ground shapes what 9fin builds next.

Series C stage, growing fast. Small enough that your work is visible, large enough to have the platform and customer base ready for real deployment.
