About 9fin9fin is the AI platform powering global debt markets — the world’s largest asset class at over $145 trillion.Debt markets are vast, global, and mission-critical, yet still run on fragmented data, PDFs, and manual workflows. 9fin replaces this broken infrastructure with a single platform that centralises proprietary credit data, deep analysis, and high-value workflows across global markets.Today, 9fin powers teams at 300+ blue-chip institutions worldwide, including global banks, asset managers, private equity firms, law firms, and advisors. The business is scaling at exceptional speed, with rapid expansion in the US and best-in-class retention driven by deep workflow adoption.We’re at a defining inflection point. With proven product-market fit and strong, global market pull, 9fin is accelerating toward becoming the category-defining platform for debt markets worldwide.The Role9fin's buy-side clients are the capital behind the credit markets. Credit funds, CLO managers, private credit platforms, and distressed investors run research, underwriting, portfolio monitoring, and relative value workflows that are deep and specialised. They are actively excited about what AI can unlock. Our job is to make that potential real inside their investment teams.The Forward Deployed Investor is the person who does it. You are a domain expert who has done the work yourself, and you can credibly sit across the table from a portfolio manager, a private credit underwriter, or a distressed analyst and say: "Here is how this changes the way you invest."You will work with 9fin's most strategic buy-side clients, drive deep adoption of our existing AI capabilities across the investment process, and become a critical voice in shaping what we build next. Every client engagement is a source of product intelligence. The insights you bring back from the front line will directly influence 9fin's AI product roadmap and sharpen how we win the next generation of buy-side accounts.What You Will DoMap investment workflows and find the highest-value insertion points. Embed with client teams to document how sourcing, screening, underwriting, credit committee preparation, portfolio monitoring, and relative value work actually gets done end-to-end. Identify the three to five places where 9fin's AI can materially change the workflow. Co-author adoption success criteria with the client, tied to their investment outcomes.Build 9fin's AI into those workflows. Take the identified insertion points and build them out using 9fin's toolkit: in-platform capabilities, MCP integrations, agents, and future capabilities as they ship. Weighted by workflow depth, not count. Iterate based on real usage behaviour, not intended usage.Drive adoption at your served accounts. Onboard named users across investment, research, and risk. Run enablement sessions with power users, identify and support champions inside the client. Monitor active usage and address dormant seats before they become churn signals. Review adoption monthly with client champions and quarterly with the CIO, head of research, or equivalent sponsor.Feed the field back into 9fin. Every deployment produces structured intelligence, fed to two consumers. First, product and engineering: prioritised requests tied to specific
